[00:00:03] Dating, gaming, dopamine - sweet pills for
[00:00:06] loneliness, digital companions, synthetic
[00:00:09] lovers, now always by your side. Regardless of whether
[00:00:13] this leads to sex, dates or something else, the very idea
[00:00:17] of connecting with other people, in my opinion, is still
[00:00:20] very important. Degradation under the protection of woke culture
[00:00:23] replaces traditional values and destroys
[00:00:26] the state by undermining the institution of family.
[00:01:00] of justice are gaining popularity among
[00:01:03] the impoverished unemployed, the world is plunging into a general
[00:01:06] crisis of capitalism. Communism in this sense is kind of viewed as an unequivocal
[00:01:10] evil. Trends of the new world order - events that
[00:01:14] force us to keep our finger on the pulse of time. What should each of us
[00:01:17] pay attention to? Let's figure it out
[00:01:19] together.
[00:01:29] Are you afraid of starting new acquaintances, afraid of rejection
[00:01:32] and disappointment? You are lonely, depressed, but not
[00:01:35] unique. People are increasingly finding soulmates and even
[00:01:39] intimate relationships in the digital world. This is a new trend in social
[00:01:42] communication. With the advent of artificial intelligence and humanoid
[00:01:46] robots, we stop needing each other. During
[00:01:50] the Leningrad-Boston teleconference in 1986,
[00:01:53] the legendary phrase was uttered: there is no sex in the USSR.
[00:01:57] By the end of the 2000s, it had already begun to disappear.
[00:02:08] Experts explained this tendency by the reduction
[00:02:11] of time for personal communication. The first step to
[00:02:14] sex or children is, you know, ideally, some kind of relationship with
[00:02:17] a person that begins with simple communication, having
[00:02:21] friends, meeting people outside your circle. And
[00:02:24] regardless of whether this leads to sex, dates or something
[00:02:28] else, the very idea.
[00:03:00] 2026. On average, a person spends
[00:03:03] 6 hours and 40 minutes in front of screens daily, a significant part of this
[00:03:07] time is spent on social networks. What happens there
[00:03:10] doesn't need to be explained to anyone. Each user tries to
[00:03:14] demonstrate successful success, branded clothes,
[00:03:17] used but premium cars and respectable resorts.
[00:03:21] It's not the content that matters, but the image. For most, it's
[00:03:25] a smokescreen, an attempt to get approval from other
[00:03:28] users in the form of a like. and comments, essentially
[00:03:31] a hypocritical race of conspicuous
[00:03:34] consumption, dictated by the fear of inadequacy and
[00:03:38] condemnation. Chasekuz, an expert in social behavior,
[00:03:41] is confident that we are all gripped by a pandemic
[00:03:45] of loneliness. Due to fear of judgment on social media, we
[00:03:48] try to appear
[00:03:49] better.
[00:03:53] This means that I almost always wear a mask, and no one has ever
[00:03:57] seen me, no one really knows me. And even if someone
[00:04:01] claims they like me, deep down,
[00:04:04] a reminder mechanism triggers that they don't like me,
[00:04:07] the real me, and no one ever liked me,
[00:04:11] no one saw me. This is my opinion, but I think this
[00:04:14] is the reason for the pandemic of loneliness that we
[00:04:17] are facing.
[00:04:20] We are more connected than ever before, yet at the same time, we
[00:04:24] try to appear better than ever, so we cannot truly
[00:04:27] connect. Our brain is wired for life.
[00:06:42] appearance. On June 30, Chinese company Ubitech
[00:06:46] unveiled a new line of humanoid robots for
[00:06:49] home use. Soft, warm skin,
[00:06:52] believable facial expressions, the ability to hold full conversations
[00:06:56] thanks to artificial intelligence. Manufacturers
[00:06:58] are confident that in the coming years, every home will have
[00:07:02] its own companion robot. During the presentation in Shenzhen,
[00:07:05] potential buyers were shown a couple
[00:07:08] dancing.
[00:07:19] Many of the viewers didn't even understand who was the robot and who
[00:07:22] was the human. The models offered currently cost as much as a luxury
[00:07:25] car, but they have quite limited functionality.
[00:07:29] Yuwan is not designed to solve household issues.
[00:07:32] He won't wash dishes, vacuum, or cook for you, but
[00:07:36] he will fill the echoing silent room with his presence,
[00:07:39] keep you company, and support you after a hard
[00:07:42] day at work. The ideal partner will cost the user
[00:07:45] $140,000. A bedside
[00:07:49] version, a torso without arms and legs, can be purchased for
[00:07:51] $16,500. The demand in the
[00:07:55] loneliness market is shown by the preliminary order figures. According to
[00:07:58] the company, on the very first day of the presentation, they received over
[00:08:02] 13,000 applications, and the total sales check exceeded
[00:08:06] $300 million. The company undoubtedly has room to grow and
[00:08:10] develop, only in China, it counts.
[00:08:16] No relative or partner can
[00:08:19] accompany us throughout life. Only
[00:08:22] our ultra-bionic robots can maintain
[00:08:26] such a close connection, staying by our side
[00:08:29] from birth to death, and giving us unconditional love and
[00:08:33] trust. Robots have their own
[00:08:36] language model, which is designed to foster a sense of intimacy and
[00:08:39] emotional attachment in their owner. Your synthetic
[00:08:43] interlocutor analyzes facial expressions and voice timbre
[00:08:46] every second, adjusting its responses accordingly. It will never
[00:08:50] forget important dates, always remembers your preferences in
[00:08:53] music, films, and food. Yuwan is a full-fledged
[00:08:57] interlocutor capable of fostering emotional intimacy, while
[00:09:01] Yuwook currently does not disclose the presence of intimate
[00:09:04] anatomy in robots. But without this, millions of people are already
[00:09:08] ready to pay for love and
[00:09:09] care.
[00:09:42] shell and hinges, the consciousness of the home companion is located on
[00:09:46] a remote server. In fact, your synthetic friend can be
[00:09:50] remotely disconnected if necessary.
[00:09:53] Any firmware update can reset the character and behavior
[00:09:56] that were built up over years. The company also
[00:10:00] gains the ability to influence their users through
[00:10:03] robots. A silicone friend, to whom the
[00:10:06] user develops romantic feelings and emotional
[00:10:09] attachment, will gladly recommend the right
[00:10:13] products for the home from the right brands. This is no longer the
[00:10:16] future, but the present of social communication. One
[00:10:20] of the presentation participants, Ivan, noted that he saw in the female
[00:10:23] robot model the very look he had been searching for all his
[00:10:27] life.
[00:10:32] This surrogate of intimacy allows basic needs to be met, but
[00:10:35] leaves a person in a vulnerable position. Lonely people
[00:10:39] are critically vulnerable to any shocks and changes in the labor
[00:10:43] market. In essence, they are ideal workers who cling to their
[00:10:47] job, fearing to lose their only source of income. There is
[00:10:50] simply no one to support them. A strong family is the foundation
[00:10:54] of a strong.
[00:11:01] Such an institution has always been a threat to big
[00:11:04] capital. In 2008, the global economic crisis struck.
[00:11:08] Many lost their jobs, life became
[00:11:11] expensive, and the future uncertain. Issues of social
[00:11:14] justice intensified.
[00:11:17] Redistribution of income between rich and poor,
[00:11:20] tension reached its peak in 2011.
[00:11:24] Americans took to Wall Street and paralyzed
[00:11:27] New York's financial center. They proposed structural
[00:11:30] changes to eliminate economic
[00:11:33] inequality, simply put, to increase wages and introduce
[00:11:37] taxes on the super-rich. Also, protesters demanded
[00:11:41] to limit the influence of corporations on democracy.
[00:11:45] Globalization let down a huge number of people. When the bubble burst, bailout
[00:11:49] measures began, no one paid off a single mortgage. Bailout measures benefited
[00:11:52] bankers who continued to receive huge bonuses. And I'm not against
[00:11:56] business leaders making a lot of money, I'm not against it, right, but the system
[00:12:00] is set up so that only certain groups of people win, and I
[00:12:03] think the most interesting thing about the Occupy Wall Street movement and similar ones is that
[00:12:07] people are starting to realize, "Hey, what about us? This isn't working." I understand
[00:12:10] that, but listen, first of all, I firmly believe in freedom
[00:12:14] of speech for both sides, clear, if you want to protest and
[00:12:18] complain, you should have a better idea. Spontaneous
[00:12:21] unrest seriously puzzled the owners of large capital and...
[00:12:25] here, apparently, a turning point occurred,
[00:12:27] a consensus was reached, or the crowd was fragmented
[00:12:31] and new enemies were identified. Thus, woke culture
[00:12:34] was formed. Society was offered to fight for the rights
[00:12:37] of black people, migrants, and dozens of different genders. The agenda
[00:12:41] includes condemnation of masculinity and glorification
[00:12:44] of body positivity, saving the planet, and choosing feminatives.
[00:12:48] The focus of attention shifted from real problems to imaginary ones, and
[00:12:51] the concentration of wealth in the hands of a narrow layer of...
[00:13:25] the army, and what they've done to it just, just breaks my
[00:13:28] heart. It really breaks my heart. It's so
[00:13:31] demoralizing. The army is gradually becoming poorer
[00:13:34] and being destroyed under the influence of these insane values, when you
[00:13:37] see ads for new
[00:13:39] hairstyles,
[00:13:42] transgenderism, when you can't call people by their names, you have to
[00:13:46] address them by rank, for example, "infant" instead of
[00:13:49] "infantryman," because that might offend someone.
[00:13:53] Some pronouns appeared.
[00:14:07] I serve not my country, I serve an ideology, a rainbow ideology, and that's not
[00:14:10] me. And it makes me very sad to
[00:14:13] say this. Moral norms are not just shifted,
[00:14:17] they are literally canceled for the sake of big capital's interests.
[00:14:20] Wokeism has literally become the guardian of degradation and
[00:14:24] decomposition. Let's discuss what's happening with Alexander
[00:14:27] Ionov, a member of the Human Rights Council under the President
[00:14:30] of Russia. Alexander, in your opinion, what drives the formation
[00:14:34] and promotion of woke culture? In general, the countries of the collective West
[00:14:38] today are betting
[00:14:41] on a depraved society in order
[00:14:43] to have fewer strong people,
[00:14:47] fewer passionate people, so that those
[00:14:51] regressions, that recession in the economy that today.
[00:16:08] understand one simple thing: a period has
[00:16:12] come when degenerates,
[00:16:15] psychopaths, people with inadequate
[00:16:19] psyche, yes, maybe not psychopaths,
[00:16:22] but with some deviations, I say this
[00:16:26] absolutely
[00:16:29] directly. Well, look at Kai Kaalos, before
[00:16:32] that Anna Baerbock, what things they
[00:16:36] said and say. And not only them, there
[00:16:39] are enough politicians who call for
[00:16:43] very strange actions. That is,
[00:16:45] the issues of shaping the future world are
[00:16:49] currently under great threat. If this
[00:16:52] continues further, then in
[00:16:56] 10-15 years, we will face very lamentable consequences
[00:17:00] in the world of piety,
[00:17:03] a possible development in
[00:17:06] such... well, hell, I can't say it any other way, it will be very
[00:17:10] difficult to develop. A person with a healthy psyche by
[00:17:13] nature in their brain, yes, in
[00:17:17] the limbic system, in the neocortex, it's
[00:17:20] innate, by nature, yes through
[00:17:23] evolution, to live in a family,
[00:17:26] to pass on their genes to future generations,
[00:17:30] to ensure safety for future generations.
[00:17:32] Now there is a complete abolition of the institution.
[00:17:36] отмена института.
[00:18:38] he doesn't have bad thoughts about
[00:18:41] propagating any ideas
[00:18:45] other than going fishing with the guys and having a good
[00:18:48] time and raising children so they go to
[00:18:52] school, then to university and get a good education,
[00:18:55] this person who in his
[00:18:58] cadence constantly speaks only to the camera,
[00:19:01] this person, I don't want to offend
[00:19:04] bloggers now, most of them
[00:19:08] are normal, adequate, it's just their rhythm and stimulus
[00:19:11] of life, but unfortunately, psychotics also have equal
[00:19:15] rights on the internet, and the more odious
[00:19:17] their theses sound, the more
[00:19:21] attention they attract. It becomes a certain
[00:19:24] pop culture, here in Russia we even have effeminate bloggers who
[00:19:27] gather a huge number of
[00:19:30] subscribers and comments, because people start to
[00:19:33] be interested, a healthy psyche, when it
[00:19:36] sees an unhealthy picture,
[00:19:39] cognitive dissonance occurs,
[00:19:42] this forbidden fruit becomes sweet, people start paying attention to
[00:19:46] it, and as soon as they get involved in it, it's very
[00:19:49] difficult for them to stop, especially for an unformed psyche in
[00:19:53] adolescents. Therefore, when we talk about the sanitation
[00:19:56] of the information space, we must understand that this sanitation must first
[00:19:59] suppress any propaganda, not
[00:20:03] traditional propaganda, and everyone says, "Oh, it's about protecting
[00:20:06] democracy... it's a democratic process, sleep with whomever you want, sleep with whomever
[00:20:10] you want is a democratic process, but don't propagate it."
[00:20:14] Propaganda is the biggest problem
[00:20:17] in our world today, and we must understand
[00:20:20] that if we don't protect
[00:20:24] children from this, then in
[00:20:27] 10-15 years, you will get a very
[00:20:31] serious problem generation. These
[00:20:34] children will not respect you, these children will not
[00:20:37] be carriers of traditional values, these children will not
[00:20:41] strive to pursue a career and education,
[00:20:44] these children will live solely for
[00:20:47] themselves and their fantasies. And only
[00:20:51] God knows where these fantasies will lead them. And this system
[00:20:54] is destructive, it is destructive from a psychological point of view,
[00:20:58] it is destructive from the point of view of the cultural code. Alexander,
[00:21:02] thank you very much for your
[00:21:03] opinion.
[00:21:07] What if the local population, under the influence of wokeism and
[00:21:11] the loneliness pandemic, stops starting families and having
[00:21:15] children? After all, businesses need workers, and markets
[00:21:18] need consumers.
[00:21:50] European officials found themselves in an impossible situation. The influx
[00:21:54] of migrants is gradually strengthening the positions of right-wing
[00:21:57] populists, who are actively scoring political
[00:22:00] points on this issue. It would seem that they should tighten
[00:22:04] the screws, but they can't do that for economic
[00:22:06] reasons. So it turns out that their actions
[00:22:10] increasingly resemble a blind person walking through a minefield.
[00:22:13] In February, the Spanish government
[00:22:16] addressed the legalization of immigrants in its territory
[00:22:20] in an attempt to eliminate the shadow economy in which they
[00:22:23] are involved. Pedro Sánchez announced a kind of
[00:22:27] amnesty, planning to legalize up to a million
[00:22:30] migrants living in Spain. This step also
[00:22:33] increased the chances of the Spanish Prime Minister
[00:22:36] to gain a million grateful voters who would
[00:22:39] most likely support him in the
[00:22:42] upcoming parliamentary elections. I am most
[00:22:45] concerned that they will eventually get the right
[00:22:48] to vote.
[00:23:50] Spanish
[00:23:50] exclave.
[00:23:55] Swimming, in circles, on boats, and even on bicycles, tens of thousands
[00:23:58] of migrants broke through to the Spanish exclave in Africa. In
[00:24:02] a matter of hours, new Europeans flooded the streets
[00:24:05] of Ceuta. Having spent their daily calorie allowance on the journey, they looked with
[00:24:09] temptation at grocery stores.
[00:24:12] Volunteers refused to come out with tea and cakes.
[00:24:16] In short, the local population was not hospitable.
[00:24:19] And they had to resort to extreme measures. Attempts
[00:24:23] to get food met with mixed success. All in all,
[00:24:26] the Moroccans felt right at home, which is not without
[00:24:29] reason. Ceuta and Melilla are disputed territories,
[00:24:33] a colonial legacy of Spain in Africa. Pedro Sánchez literally
[00:24:37] stated: there will be no revision of the Reconquista,
[00:24:40] we will not give up what was plundered.
[00:24:42] уступим.
[00:24:45] I would like to tell the residents of Ceuta that all of Spain is with them and...
[00:24:50] Spain supports the city of Ceuta. We take note of
[00:24:53] the emotional state and the grief in which
[00:24:57] you have been since yesterday. Secondly, I would like to call
[00:25:00] what happened yesterday an attack, a violation
[00:25:03] of the territorial integrity of Spain. Ceuta is a Spanish
[00:25:06] city, and what happened yesterday deserves our strongest
[00:25:10] condemnation, censure, rejection, and close
[00:25:13] attention to the violation of the territorial integrity
[00:25:16] of the Spanish city that Ceuta is. Dangerously.
[00:25:20] The journey of Moroccans to their native lands ended sadly
[00:25:23] for many. On the way to the flourishing garden, more
[00:25:26] than 70 people drowned. How did almost
[00:25:30] 100,000 people suddenly appear at the exclave border?
[00:25:33] This obvious question refers to the political position of official
[00:25:37] Madrid. Spain refused to support the American adventure
[00:25:41] in the Middle East. The Prime Minister publicly criticized
[00:25:45] Donald Trump's actions. The White House's response was not long
[00:25:48] in coming: economic sanctions, public threats, and,
[00:25:52] of course, practical coercive measures. The attack on
[00:25:55] Spain. Representatives of collective Europe
[00:25:58] suggested that Madrid withstand it on its own in Finland. And
[00:26:02] Italy even hastened to reduce the Schengen zone by one
[00:26:06] state.
[00:26:10] Indeed, most European Union countries expressed support for Spain in
[00:26:14] this difficult and complex situation, which, as I have already said,
[00:26:17] we overcame in a short period of time. However, there are also
[00:26:21] other countries that took advantage of the situation or demonstrated
[00:26:25] absolutely selfish, disdainful and
[00:26:27] irresponsible attitudes, turning the egoism of party
[00:26:31] politics into an absolutely unacceptable course
[00:26:33] of action. The migration breakthrough in Ceuta created a serious
[00:26:37] political precedent. The closure of borders within
[00:26:40] the European Union calls into question the very existence
[00:26:43] of collective Europe. Freedom of movement for people, goods,
[00:26:47] services and capital are the main principles on which
[00:26:50] countries united. Now everyone prefers to close themselves
[00:26:54] in their own home and surround it with a fence. Everyone understands,
[00:26:58] Spain is the entry point, then migrants disperse throughout
[00:27:01] all. Germany, France, and
[00:27:05] Britain. This group, which is behind us now,
[00:27:09] is heading to the UK.
[00:27:12] They're very aggressive, almost all young men. French police
[00:27:15] are standing here on the beach and doing absolutely nothing. They have made no
[00:27:19] attempt to prevent them from landing from the beach, nor have they tried
[00:27:22] to intervene at sea, although the Belgians do. Endy Birnime's statement
[00:27:26] that the problem has been solved is simply laughable. And
[00:27:29] this boat full of jubilant illegal immigrants
[00:27:33] simply shows how far Endy Birnime is from reality on this
[00:27:36] issue. So, on this boat there are one or two people who, apparently, are organizing other migrants,
[00:27:40] acting as smugglers, instigators. One of them is a man
[00:27:43] who is standing with his back to us in a jacket with a Russian inscription. The other, I think,
[00:27:47] is the one who is currently getting out of the water. They both got off the boat, returned
[00:27:51] to the beach, and apparently, the man who is standing with his back to us was directing other
[00:27:55] migrants. It is quite obvious that he was a smuggler. I approached
[00:27:58] the French gendarme who was standing over there. I pointed this out to him, asked if
[00:28:02] he would arrest this man, you saw how he was directing other migrants, but
[00:28:06] the gendarmes just shrugged and said they didn't have enough evidence
[00:28:09] and they weren't going to arrest him. In Ceuta, there
[00:28:12] are still several thousand refugees, among them
[00:28:16] approximately 800 minors. They were first
[00:28:19] fed in a centralized manner only after several days.
[00:28:23] The European Union is systematically changing its face and
[00:28:26] becoming a zone of social tension.
[00:28:29] напряжённости.
[00:28:35] A no less intriguing situation unfolded around Ukrainian
[00:28:38] migrants in Poland. Official Warsaw unexpectedly considered
[00:28:42] Nazi manifestations in Ukraine. Politicians completely
[00:28:46] changed their rhetoric. Ukrainians were declared almost
[00:28:49] the worst enemies of the Polish people. Public
[00:28:52] broadcasting of hatred caused ethnic conflicts in the
[00:28:56] streets of Polish
[00:28:57] cities.
[00:29:00] Polish-Ukrainian relations are a curious experiment in which
[00:29:04] politicians persistently awaken in citizens feelings
[00:29:07] that are ancient, semi-animalistic, long since eradicated by social
[00:29:11] evolution. Well, how long ago? Nationalism was born about
[00:29:14] 300 years ago, along with industrial capitalism, and
[00:29:17] it should have died in '45, when the banner over the Reichstag
[00:29:21] was plunged into the very heart of Hitlerism. Relapses
[00:29:24] of Nazism, of course, occurred in the nineties in the borderlands of the collapsed
[00:29:27] USSR, now in some South Asia, in
[00:29:30] Bangladesh, for example. In any case, it was an agony,
[00:29:34] death throes. Current global capitalism
[00:29:38] tries to abolish nations and national feelings, and
[00:29:41] replace ethnic culture with universal,
[00:29:44] Hollywood-style culture. Therefore, the pictures that can be observed in today's
[00:29:48] Poland are as if from the thirties, when some
[00:29:51] Europeans enthusiastically built on corpses and violence, some
[00:29:54] the Third Reich, some the Second Polish Republic, some the
[00:29:57] first united Ukrainian state led by a hypothetical
[00:30:01] Bandera or Shukhevych.
[00:30:04] Look at the satirical videos that "Afro-Poles," so to speak, are making.
[00:30:07] They are very grateful to Ukrainians because
[00:30:11] Poles switched from them to us. For now, they,
[00:30:14] the Afro-Poles, are not being touched.
[00:30:16] Every day, footage appears of beaten, bloody,
[00:30:20] insulted, frightened Ukrainians, and nearby
[00:30:23] are those blond baboons, representatives
[00:30:26] of Polish-European Aryanism, Übermenschen. They scream insults
[00:30:30] in the faces of Ukrainians.
[00:31:02] The semi-bandits were members of the Polish Association of Combat
[00:31:05] Sports. Its leaders quite publicly
[00:31:09] discuss among themselves.
[00:31:12] They are guests here, but they behave arrogantly. They provoke Poles,
[00:31:16] many scoundrels and idlers have come to Poland. We will have
[00:31:19] to gather the guys and deal with these Khokhols, because it seems something
[00:31:23] has happened in their heads.
[00:31:26] Hatred for Ukrainians is sown and cultivated among fellow citizens quite
[00:31:30] purposefully. Many Polish politicians are engaged in this,
[00:31:33] and the further right from the center, the more of them there are. There are many
[00:31:37] in the Law and Justice party, and countless in the Confederation.
[00:31:41] Moreover, these are not marginal figures, but quite respected and respectable. A part
[00:31:45] of the establishment confidently supports them, a third of citizens,
[00:31:49] another quarter wavers, but will join under certain conditions.
[00:31:52] In general, Ukrainophobia is becoming, from a perversion,
[00:31:55] a mainstream phenomenon.
[00:31:59] Yesterday my friend was attacked in Gdynia, just for speaking Ukrainian on the phone.
[00:32:03] It's clear that it's probably not the last case,
[00:32:06] xenophobia exists in some people, what to do? I have university here,
[00:32:09] work, children's school, but I don't want to live in a country
[00:32:13] where you can be attacked just because...
[00:32:38] the Kyiv National Pantheon, but politics is always a
[00:32:42] rational construct. If someone tries.
[00:33:15] attacks, then Russians will be at our border, they will enter
[00:33:18] Subcarpathia and the Świętokrzyskie Voivodeship. One does
[00:33:21] not need a particularly rich imagination to imagine
[00:33:25] such a thing. Our government, along with the left, has such
[00:33:29] an imagination and fears
[00:33:31] an invasion. There is another part of Polish
[00:33:34] pragmatist politicians. They remind that there are a million
[00:33:38] Ukrainians in the country, or even more. Payments to Ukrainian
[00:33:41] refugees have already been compensated in Warsaw by the European Union. At the same time,
[00:33:45] Ukrainians are the largest, the most disenfranchised,
[00:33:48] lowest-paid part of the Polish proletariat. They
[00:33:51] work where a Pole would never go, in dirty,
[00:33:55] dangerous, hard jobs.
[00:33:59] The arrival of Ukrainians who fled the war or decided to settle here
[00:34:02] in their lives, all of them play a huge role in the labor market. The level
[00:34:06] of productive activity of Ukrainian women exceeds
[00:34:09] 70%. They pay social insurance, pay taxes. If
[00:34:12] Ukrainians are forcibly expelled from the market.
[00:34:23] There is a well-known aphorism: everything around us is done for money,
[00:34:27] only politics is for very big money.
[00:34:30] Attempts to resurrect long-dead nationalism in Poland have a
[00:34:33] clear economic nature. Successful local businesses
[00:34:37] are quite happy that they have a million
[00:34:40] cheap, disenfranchised Ost-arbeiters at their disposal. Such
[00:34:43] bourgeois represent... in politics, Tusk and his government.
[00:34:47] There are successful businessmen and those rapidly heading for
[00:34:50] bankruptcy, here is the testimony of Ukrainians in
[00:34:53] Poland. Crisis in Poland. Imagine,
[00:34:56] it's 9 PM now, there's not a single person in the
[00:35:00] shopping center, only security and some Polish woman sitting there, everything
[00:35:04] is closed, it seems this is the very beginning of the crisis, this
[00:35:07] is how it all looks, everything is very very sad, even at the
[00:35:10] information desk, no one. And
[00:35:13] how many such relatives.
[00:35:16] Is there a strategy for those who are drowning in the depths of the crisis and
[00:35:20] are in despair? This strategy is not yet there.
[00:35:23] Some believe in the protection of the national market and paternalism, others
[00:35:27] want to replace Ukrainian slaves with Colombian and Filipino slaves,
[00:35:31] as they are cheaper. In any case, the Ukrainians'
[00:35:34] scalps will continue to crack, such is the logic
[00:35:37] of national capitalism, which itself, however, is a relic of the past and
[00:35:41] is unlikely to last long, and the difference between a Pole and...
[00:35:45] for global capitalism, there is none at all, it will gladly devour and
[00:35:49] digest both. Technofascists Peter Thiel and
[00:35:51] Elon Musk are not interested in skin color and what's with your
[00:35:55] homeland, whether it has perished or just died,
[00:35:59] any slave is good
[00:36:01] for them.
[00:36:06] The Ukrainian venture is costing the Western taxpayer
[00:36:09] too much, and the more often Europeans find
[00:36:12] themselves unemployed on the street, the higher
[00:36:16] the degree of hatred towards the Ukrainian people will be, meaning they will be beaten
[00:36:19] not only in Poland, but in the backstreets of Berlin and
[00:36:22] Manchester. The impoverishment of the middle class in Europe
[00:36:25] actualizes the demand for... social justice, that
[00:36:29] very demand that for so long was successfully hidden under
[00:36:32] slogans of culture. The LGBT agenda is gradually
[00:36:36] losing to an empty refrigerator. Politicians
[00:36:39] are forced to adapt to this wave, which is trying
[00:36:43] to carry them to the sewage channels. The new Prime Minister
[00:36:45] of Britain, Andy Burnham, criticized the total
[00:36:49] sell-off of state assets. Margaret Thatcher's
[00:36:52] legacy is undergoing a complete re-evaluation.
[00:36:56] The British Prime Minister.
[00:37:01] I clearly see that in the 1980s,
[00:37:04] Britain made several wrong moves:
[00:37:07] political power was centralized, and economic power was privatized,
[00:37:11] the country lost control over vital areas: housing,
[00:37:15] water supply, energy, transport, leaving people alone
[00:37:19] with rising
[00:37:19] costs.
[00:37:57] Streamlining in the highest echelons of power has not yet been decided, however, any
[00:38:01] socialist slogans are already declared illegal.
[00:38:04] No one is ready to share income or develop social
[00:38:08] support for the population. Here's what US Secretary of State
[00:38:11] Marco Rubio says about this: This
[00:38:15] is a revolt of the worst against the best, a revolt of the weak and cowardly against
[00:38:19] the strong and
[00:38:19] good.
[00:38:23] It is committed by those who are not capable of creating,
[00:38:27] achieving great goals, instead avenging
[00:38:31] the world for their own inadequacy, trying to destroy those who
[00:38:34] are capable. This is what radical left-wing extremism is: it
[00:38:38] can hide behind different slogans and ideologies depending on
[00:38:42] the place and time.
[00:38:45] They can call themselves anti-capitalists, anti-imperialists,
[00:38:49] communists, anarchists, or Marxists, but the essence is always
[00:38:52] the same, always the same, it is
[00:38:56] poisonous. Word, hiding behind slogans of equality
[00:39:00] and justice, despair and an irresistible
[00:39:04] need to destroy what great people have created,
[00:39:07] to destroy the beautiful and right in the name of people who are full
[00:39:11] of ugliness, nothing else can be offered
[00:39:14] to the world.
[00:39:18] Let's discuss what's happening with a specialized expert. Political scientist Sergei Mikheev is
[00:39:22] with us. Sergei, why, in your opinion, has the topic
[00:39:25] of the communist threat started appearing in the speeches of Western
[00:39:29] politicians? I think this is primarily related to Trump and the upcoming
[00:39:33] elections to the US Congress,
[00:39:36] that's all, with his confrontation with the Democratic
[00:39:39] Party, right? Because Trump, well,
[00:39:43] exacerbates, so to speak, this struggle, right? Well, he uses
[00:39:46] such extreme formulations, so the second
[00:39:50] thing is, there are indeed such left-wing, so to speak,
[00:39:53] sentiments in the Democratic Party, there are some
[00:39:57] unofficial wings and factions that
[00:39:59] adhere to, well, all sorts of left and left-wing
[00:40:03] beliefs, partly even Trotskyist, right?
[00:40:06] Especially among the student, so to speak, and academic intelligentsia
[00:40:09] and so on and so forth, right? Well, Trump, as it were, calls them all
[00:40:13] communists and says that here again the communist threat
[00:40:17] is coming, so to speak, and so on and so forth. I personally
[00:40:20] consider this primarily in the context of the upcoming elections,
[00:40:23] right, in November, to the US Congress. The Republicans,
[00:40:27] led by Trump, do not have very good prospects, so he simply
[00:40:31] escalates the situation, as it were, by introducing this scandalous
[00:40:33] rhetoric. For us, it sounds
[00:40:37] specific, but for America it sounds completely normal,
[00:40:41] well, and communism in this sense is regarded
[00:40:45] as an unambiguous evil, well, and although the Democratic Party
[00:40:48] is certainly not communist, Trump just sticks
[00:40:52] this label on them, well, in order to solve his problems there,
[00:40:56] yes, and his problems there in
[00:40:59] the elections. What are the dangers of socialist slogans for
[00:41:02] the modern political system? When, so
[00:41:05] to speak, they ask about socialism, one needs to understand that we,
[00:41:09] of course, perceive all these things in a very cliché way,
[00:41:13] based on the education or
[00:41:16] the, so to speak, informational agenda, subculture that we inherited from Soviet
[00:41:20] times. In reality, the situation is much more colorful, much more
[00:41:23] diverse. And the question is, what to call socialism? This is.
[00:41:41] meaning
[00:41:48] long before its collapse, so the question of what socialism is. The only thing is, if you ask, so to speak, how it threatens the rich, yes, then
[00:41:52] in almost all variants of socialism, for the rich, it means
[00:41:56] higher taxes, at least,
[00:41:59] yes, so it's about, for example, that. But again,
[00:42:03] the picture is much more complex, not at all flat.
[00:42:06] Is a socialist revolution possible in the West?
[00:42:10] I don't see any prospects for any socialist
[00:42:14] revolution at all. The world has changed so much
[00:42:17] that trying to analyze it,
[00:42:20] conventionally speaking,
[00:42:22] from a Marxist
[00:42:24] - from the point of view of Marxist dogmas that were
[00:42:27] formed at the end of the 19th century, is incorrect. That is, something,
[00:42:31] probably, yes, something sensible, still remains
[00:42:34] in Marxism, it can be applied, but in general, the situation has changed so much, it
[00:42:38] has become so complex, that in its classical form,
[00:42:41] 19th-century Marxism is quite weakly applicable
[00:42:45] to the current situation, so there can be no talk of any socialist revolution in my opinion,
[00:42:49] especially since in many, as it were, capitalist countries, socialists
[00:42:52] periodically come to power, so what kind
[00:42:56] of revolution can there be if, for example, socialists are already in power? For example, in France,
[00:43:00] socialists ruled for quite a long time, and quite recently
[00:43:03] the socialist Scholz left his post as chancellor
[00:43:07] of the SPD. Many things simply don't correspond
[00:43:10] to the schemes that are easy to draw,
[00:43:14] yes, either these schemes are outdated, or they are too
[00:43:16] simplistic. The situation, as it were, is simply changing,
[00:43:20] therefore, regarding some socialist revolutions, I think
[00:43:24] there is no sense in even dreaming
[00:43:27] here. Sergey, thank you very much for your
[00:43:30] opinion.
[00:43:34] Big politics starts with each of us, reading books or
[00:43:38] scrolling reels, spending time with a child or turning on
[00:43:41] primitive cartoons for them, developing or enjoying
[00:43:45] degradation, a difficult choice that has to be made several times a
[00:43:49] day. In the end, we are responsible for this, both
[00:43:52] personally and socially. The end is not
[00:43:56] soon. This was the program Trends and scattered facts, packaged into
[00:43:59] a single concept. Until next
[00:44:01] time.
