Vancouver Off-Topic / Current EventsThe off-topic forum for Vancouver, funnies, non-auto centered discussions, WORK SAFE. While the rules are more relaxed here, there are still rules. Please refer to sticky thread in this forum.
I'm not sure who unbanned you either, but if you keep posting nazi propaganda, you're gone. You have your own thread for that shit, and people are free to chat with you about it there. .
Anyone can try and refute my thread that was moved to the FightClub section.
Truth is no one here can debate me on my position because I come with facts and common sense. In 2014 I had figured out all the players in the Ukraine coupe... after all this time everyone in this thread is still clueless.

As a Ukrainian, does it matter which powers were behind the famine of millions of your people only a few generations back? Proxies like Jacob Schiff then (use yandex.com search engine) are connected to proxies of today like George Soros behind Ukraine's plight.
Mods, please don't unban him again. He tries to ruin every thread he posts to. He is either a TROLL or actually insane, either way it's not good for the forum. If you want to have a go at his nonsense, the fight club is there. It's literally the same thing as the main forum, just without ads.
The new details about the US' military assistance to Ukraine comes hours after Ukraine's President, Volodymyr Zelensky, addressed US members of Congress, renewing his calls for more assistance as his homeland continues to battle Russian military's invasion
Biden, in his remarks on Wednesday, attempted to level with Americans about the long road ahead in the war.
"I want to be honest with you," the President said. "This could be a long and difficult battle. But the American people will be steadfast in our support of the people of Ukraine in the face of Putin's immoral, unethical attacks on civilian population."
According to the White House, the $800 million in security assistance will provide Ukraine with: 800 Stinger anti-aircraft systems, 100 drones, "over 20 million rounds of small arms ammunition and grenade launcher and mortar rounds," 25,000 sets of body armor, 25,000 helmets, 100 grenade launchers, 5,000 rifles, 1,000 pistols, 400 machine guns, 400 shotguns, as well as "2,000 Javelin, 1,000 light anti-armor weapons, and 6,000 AT-4 anti-armor systems."
I haven't watched this video, I've been watching a few of them... but he's starting to get a bit too loony for me.
He tries to keep an air of balance about him most of the times, I admire his dedication to trying to stay unbiased, but he's been getting pretty tinfoil hat lately.... I'll check this one out though and see what's up.
Watched it, the problem I always have with RB's stuff is that all of his talking points revolve around the fact there's a few people (Whom? We don't know) that are controlling everything in the world... which is a very CiC style belief... which leaves you saying "Okay, well, interesting but what do I do with that? My ability to communicate is being eroded... but what can I do about that?" Specifically in this video, he had some very glossy lines about the trucker convoy in Canada... I understand how the swastika flags could be viewed 2 ways but he seemed to err on the side of it being they are calling Trudeau a fascist, not being fascist themselves... but numerous other examples came up on video and otherwise showing the belief system of the people holding those flags very much matched what the flag represents, whether it was targeted AT someone or representative of their own feelings at that point is beside the fact.
You shouldn't need to hold up a swastika to tell Trudeau that you think his ideas are restrictive. End of story.

Ah yea the tinge of craziness/tinfoil hat is there n more pronounced definitely, he's holding it back though. But overall the subjects n discussions have been great
I imagine if he drops back into any of his addictions he's going to be balls to the walls nuts, maybe he'll be driven to that just for the sake of coming out with new content.
He seems to be coming out with a video everyday, and yt creators do get exhausted with keeping up with new content

Thats the problem with those kinds of videos. They make you create doubt in the system but it feels a little bit powerful because it gives you a perspective outside of the other "sheep". Its addicting because you watch more and more videos, and you feel its going to add up until one day it'll just "click".
But it doesn't. It never does. The only thing that remains is doubt. You'll let that doubt erode your faith and belief system. You'll start to put your own answers into things and seek out others with just enough doubt. Pretty soon it'll be you and the others against "them".
Russell Brand is a drug addict in recovery. He has underlying personality issues that drove his addiction and without the drugs to suppress that part of his personality, he spins out of control like we've seen him do lately. An aggressive video schedule isn't the sign of a motivated personality, its a biproduct of someone experiencing a bit of focused mania. Its exhausting to watch because theres no conclusion and payoff because your normie brain needs to make connections but his doesn't.
Unrelated to anything y'all have said but moreso to the comment pastarocket made about Zelenskyy making a video.
Did anyone see the Zelenskyy surrender deepfake video? lol
Its sad that Putin thought it would convince anyone.

He's been in this constant state for like 10 years.
I remember buying his Booky Wook and the one after and reading them on some 15 hr flights I was on... and I love some of his ideas and ideals but the pace of the books is absolutely frantic, he has a lot of self efficacy for sure and his way with words is second to none, he's quite a genius I think and articulates with the best of them... but he just can't quite bring his ideas across the finish line... in the end you're left with "Right then, let's not vote, the political system is broken, it needs to be replaced by something that puts people first... but I have no idea how to make that happen.

It seems like people are idolizing those that point out all of the problems in the world without providing a solution as some sort of high mark of intelligence when it’s just cynicism that we emotionally connect to when it’s articulated well. It’s why people think Rogan or Peterson or Shapiro are smart guys, when in actuality they have never found an answer for a single question they’ve asked, just another question until people forget what the question was in the first place. Just a bunch of big vocabulary conmen.

Impressed by Schwarzenegger, he is speaking from the heart ... no rant tone, just straight up, from one human being to another. He did this when the idiots broke into/invaded the Capital. I hope the message gets out. Here is someone using his fame and political sway in a constructive way.
Instead of Elon vs. Putin in a ring, can we put Arnold and Putin in the octagon .... I know it's some sort of war crime against Geneva convention to try to take out the president or leader of a country but man, Putin is the exception.

I think the point is to get people talking about and brainstorming on these subjects, I think he makes a point of that in all his videos by saying he doesn't have the answers and he wants to know what you think
The point isn't to look to him for answers but to get people talking and thinking about subjects that they never do, and which the media never does
ppl look to the news for answers, but the news just provides a narrative that their bosses n their bosses want them to promote (fox vs cnn if u will), so the news isn't providing full service, just a partial service, and what I think Brand is trying to do is really just to drive ppl to start doing the rest of the work that the media doesn't provide, or at least get you to demand a better product
The only problems are is people are lazy, and they're watching the news when they're chilling out at home, they don't really want to get their thinking caps on, they just want to feel like they did, hence they're watching the news, instead of researching topics.
So they just soak up what they see on fox or cnn, and if you say hey wait u should be looking at cnn(if ur a fox guy), npr, substack, or getting a taste of foreign news outlets for their perspective, (let alone reading reports or watching lectures) you get pushback, and the lazier the person the more pushback you get
Brand is like that fitness coach trying to kick you into being more active, and he may seem extreme to some, probably bcuz he feels like he has to be to get ppl going, or maybe cuz he's a lil crazy too, but like that fitness coach, they aren't the answer, they're just trying to get you moving

I was about to reference the EXACT same people before reading your post. Thank you
Serious question, we all know the military industrial complex loves what's going on right now (Germany recently announcing the purchase of 35 F-35s, etc.)
35 of course, because Germans
I'm curious though, with all these countries pledging weapons and funding, who will be left to even utilize these weapons being sent? I just read an article recently that over half the population of Kyiv has fled the city, Europe seeing the largest migration of people in decades.
Where will these weapons end eventually, and who exactly will be left to use them against the Russians as more continue to flee?

Basically what I'm getting from reading Jordon Peterson's books. There are good points in there but it can totally be summarized into a couple pages at most per chapter. The rest is fluff and tangents that make you forgot the point of that chapter. I stopped listening to JRE since he went off the deep end.
I believe it’s only women, children and the elderly that can flee. Basically any able bodied male has stayed to fight.
Correct.
Zelensky made this announcement in late February:
KYIV, Feb 23 (Reuters) - Ukraine on Wednesday has started conscripting reservists aged 18-60 following a decree by President Volodymyr Zelenskiy, the armed forces said in a statement.
The maximum service period is one year.
Zelenskiy on Tuesday said he was introducing the conscription of reservists but ruled out a general mobilisation after Russia announced it was moving troops into eastern Ukraine.
I believe it’s only women, children and the elderly that can flee. Basically any able bodied male has stayed to fight.
I find it funny that people are surprised/outraged that there is a greater welcome for the refugees from Ukraine compared to the European refugee crisis of 2015.
It's mostly women and children refugees coming from Ukraine according to the United Nations. For comparison, Pew Research reported that 75%+ of asylum seekers in Europe in 2015 were men.
I don't doubt there is a racial or cultural component when comparing these waves of refugees but I feel that some of the 'commentators' on the conflict are glossing over this glaring fact.
I thought women and children are given priority to get to safety in times of war? Or are more people now men's rights activists?
