  • It is the inevitable product of electoral democracy. You see, the power structure is reversed. The people directly vote in the government. But the people know what the media tell them, so the media vote in the government. But the media tell them what owners of the media allow the media to tell, so the owners of the media actually vote in the government. So the State is completely subjugated to the Corporate Interest, regardless what the function of state was in the beginning, to help people or the powerful, over 100 years it becomes to help the powerful. That is why electoral democracy has to go!


  • On whataboutism I have to say the following. Most of the time I have seen somebody accusing somebody of a whataboutism is a following scenario:

    Person 1: A is better than B because B is doing something bad (and A is not). [e.g. “Russia is the one shelling schools and hospitals. Enough said!”]

    Person 2: But A is also doing the same bad thing. (How are they better?) [e.g. “Ukraine has been shelling Donetsk schools and hospitals for 8 years.”]

    Petson 1: WhAtAbOuTiSm!1!

    In here calling whataboutism is a conversation killer to a well defined point (namely, that A does in fact not hold moral highground regarding the said actions of B). Here whataboutism is not used as a fallacy, or as a defense, it is in fact used as a counterargument, and there is nothing wrong with that.






  • The goverment in Brasil is right wing, but they are so pathetic, disorganised, dumb, etc, that i dont give them a lot of credit.

    Brasil will always be important because it is huge, by far the largest in South America.

    Israel is an US colony, not Turkey, and the only reason they still exist is because of the US, so if the US cuts the funds out of despair, Israel will eventually colapse.

    Absolutely, I agree with you. Sorry about the Turkey thing, I didn’t get the Israel Isn’treal joke. For Turkey they will be important because the Sea and they are large and want their stake in the Middle East. I think their stake is more important that Saudi Arabian, that is why Turkey is highlighted instead of them. As for Isn’treal, they are nuclear power in the Middle East and also the only non-Arabs that are important geopolitically and also they are American bastion, the largest importer of American foreign military aid, so they are mega important in my opinion.

    Hungary creating instability on the EU wouldnt be good for us?

    Absolutely is, which is why it is highlighted. The map says important, not like not bad for us or something.
