00:00:03Dating, gaming, dopamine - sweet pills for
00:00:06loneliness, digital companions, synthetic
00:00:09lovers, now always by your side. Regardless of whether
00:00:13this leads to sex, dates or something else, the very idea
00:00:17of connecting with other people, in my opinion, is still
00:00:20very important. Degradation under the protection of woke culture
00:00:23replaces traditional values and destroys
00:00:26the state by undermining the institution of family.
00:01:00of justice are gaining popularity among
00:01:03the impoverished unemployed, the world is plunging into a general
00:01:06crisis of capitalism. Communism in this sense is kind of viewed as an unequivocal
00:01:10evil. Trends of the new world order - events that
00:01:14force us to keep our finger on the pulse of time. What should each of us
00:01:17pay attention to? Let's figure it out
00:01:19together.
00:01:29Are you afraid of starting new acquaintances, afraid of rejection
00:01:32and disappointment? You are lonely, depressed, but not
00:01:35unique. People are increasingly finding soulmates and even
00:01:39intimate relationships in the digital world. This is a new trend in social
00:01:42communication. With the advent of artificial intelligence and humanoid
00:01:46robots, we stop needing each other. During
00:01:50the Leningrad-Boston teleconference in 1986,
00:01:53the legendary phrase was uttered: there is no sex in the USSR.
00:01:57By the end of the 2000s, it had already begun to disappear.
00:02:08Experts explained this tendency by the reduction
00:02:11of time for personal communication. The first step to
00:02:14sex or children is, you know, ideally, some kind of relationship with
00:02:17a person that begins with simple communication, having
00:02:21friends, meeting people outside your circle. And
00:02:24regardless of whether this leads to sex, dates or something
00:02:28else, the very idea.
00:03:002026. On average, a person spends
00:03:036 hours and 40 minutes in front of screens daily, a significant part of this
00:03:07time is spent on social networks. What happens there
00:03:10doesn't need to be explained to anyone. Each user tries to
00:03:14demonstrate successful success, branded clothes,
00:03:17used but premium cars and respectable resorts.
00:03:21It's not the content that matters, but the image. For most, it's
00:03:25a smokescreen, an attempt to get approval from other
00:03:28users in the form of a like. and comments, essentially
00:03:31a hypocritical race of conspicuous
00:03:34consumption, dictated by the fear of inadequacy and
00:03:38condemnation. Chasekuz, an expert in social behavior,
00:03:41is confident that we are all gripped by a pandemic
00:03:45of loneliness. Due to fear of judgment on social media, we
00:03:48try to appear
00:03:49better.
00:03:53This means that I almost always wear a mask, and no one has ever
00:03:57seen me, no one really knows me. And even if someone
00:04:01claims they like me, deep down,
00:04:04a reminder mechanism triggers that they don't like me,
00:04:07the real me, and no one ever liked me,
00:04:11no one saw me. This is my opinion, but I think this
00:04:14is the reason for the pandemic of loneliness that we
00:04:17are facing.
00:04:20We are more connected than ever before, yet at the same time, we
00:04:24try to appear better than ever, so we cannot truly
00:04:27connect. Our brain is wired for life.
00:06:42appearance. On June 30, Chinese company Ubitech
00:06:46unveiled a new line of humanoid robots for
00:06:49home use. Soft, warm skin,
00:06:52believable facial expressions, the ability to hold full conversations
00:06:56thanks to artificial intelligence. Manufacturers
00:06:58are confident that in the coming years, every home will have
00:07:02its own companion robot. During the presentation in Shenzhen,
00:07:05potential buyers were shown a couple
00:07:08dancing.
00:07:19Many of the viewers didn't even understand who was the robot and who
00:07:22was the human. The models offered currently cost as much as a luxury
00:07:25car, but they have quite limited functionality.
00:07:29Yuwan is not designed to solve household issues.
00:07:32He won't wash dishes, vacuum, or cook for you, but
00:07:36he will fill the echoing silent room with his presence,
00:07:39keep you company, and support you after a hard
00:07:42day at work. The ideal partner will cost the user
00:07:45$140,000. A bedside
00:07:49version, a torso without arms and legs, can be purchased for
00:07:51$16,500. The demand in the
00:07:55loneliness market is shown by the preliminary order figures. According to
00:07:58the company, on the very first day of the presentation, they received over
00:08:0213,000 applications, and the total sales check exceeded
00:08:06$300 million. The company undoubtedly has room to grow and
00:08:10develop, only in China, it counts.
00:08:16No relative or partner can
00:08:19accompany us throughout life. Only
00:08:22our ultra-bionic robots can maintain
00:08:26such a close connection, staying by our side
00:08:29from birth to death, and giving us unconditional love and
00:08:33trust. Robots have their own
00:08:36language model, which is designed to foster a sense of intimacy and
00:08:39emotional attachment in their owner. Your synthetic
00:08:43interlocutor analyzes facial expressions and voice timbre
00:08:46every second, adjusting its responses accordingly. It will never
00:08:50forget important dates, always remembers your preferences in
00:08:53music, films, and food. Yuwan is a full-fledged
00:08:57interlocutor capable of fostering emotional intimacy, while
00:09:01Yuwook currently does not disclose the presence of intimate
00:09:04anatomy in robots. But without this, millions of people are already
00:09:08ready to pay for love and
00:09:09care.
00:09:42shell and hinges, the consciousness of the home companion is located on
00:09:46a remote server. In fact, your synthetic friend can be
00:09:50remotely disconnected if necessary.
00:09:53Any firmware update can reset the character and behavior
00:09:56that were built up over years. The company also
00:10:00gains the ability to influence their users through
00:10:03robots. A silicone friend, to whom the
00:10:06user develops romantic feelings and emotional
00:10:09attachment, will gladly recommend the right
00:10:13products for the home from the right brands. This is no longer the
00:10:16future, but the present of social communication. One
00:10:20of the presentation participants, Ivan, noted that he saw in the female
00:10:23robot model the very look he had been searching for all his
00:10:27life.
00:10:32This surrogate of intimacy allows basic needs to be met, but
00:10:35leaves a person in a vulnerable position. Lonely people
00:10:39are critically vulnerable to any shocks and changes in the labor
00:10:43market. In essence, they are ideal workers who cling to their
00:10:47job, fearing to lose their only source of income. There is
00:10:50simply no one to support them. A strong family is the foundation
00:10:54of a strong.
00:11:01Such an institution has always been a threat to big
00:11:04capital. In 2008, the global economic crisis struck.
00:11:08Many lost their jobs, life became
00:11:11expensive, and the future uncertain. Issues of social
00:11:14justice intensified.
00:11:17Redistribution of income between rich and poor,
00:11:20tension reached its peak in 2011.
00:11:24Americans took to Wall Street and paralyzed
00:11:27New York's financial center. They proposed structural
00:11:30changes to eliminate economic
00:11:33inequality, simply put, to increase wages and introduce
00:11:37taxes on the super-rich. Also, protesters demanded
00:11:41to limit the influence of corporations on democracy.
00:11:45Globalization let down a huge number of people. When the bubble burst, bailout
00:11:49measures began, no one paid off a single mortgage. Bailout measures benefited
00:11:52bankers who continued to receive huge bonuses. And I'm not against
00:11:56business leaders making a lot of money, I'm not against it, right, but the system
00:12:00is set up so that only certain groups of people win, and I
00:12:03think the most interesting thing about the Occupy Wall Street movement and similar ones is that
00:12:07people are starting to realize, "Hey, what about us? This isn't working." I understand
00:12:10that, but listen, first of all, I firmly believe in freedom
00:12:14of speech for both sides, clear, if you want to protest and
00:12:18complain, you should have a better idea. Spontaneous
00:12:21unrest seriously puzzled the owners of large capital and...
00:12:25here, apparently, a turning point occurred,
00:12:27a consensus was reached, or the crowd was fragmented
00:12:31and new enemies were identified. Thus, woke culture
00:12:34was formed. Society was offered to fight for the rights
00:12:37of black people, migrants, and dozens of different genders. The agenda
00:12:41includes condemnation of masculinity and glorification
00:12:44of body positivity, saving the planet, and choosing feminatives.
00:12:48The focus of attention shifted from real problems to imaginary ones, and
00:12:51the concentration of wealth in the hands of a narrow layer of...
00:13:25the army, and what they've done to it just, just breaks my
00:13:28heart. It really breaks my heart. It's so
00:13:31demoralizing. The army is gradually becoming poorer
00:13:34and being destroyed under the influence of these insane values, when you
00:13:37see ads for new
00:13:39hairstyles,
00:13:42transgenderism, when you can't call people by their names, you have to
00:13:46address them by rank, for example, "infant" instead of
00:13:49"infantryman," because that might offend someone.
00:13:53Some pronouns appeared.
00:14:07I serve not my country, I serve an ideology, a rainbow ideology, and that's not
00:14:10me. And it makes me very sad to
00:14:13say this. Moral norms are not just shifted,
00:14:17they are literally canceled for the sake of big capital's interests.
00:14:20Wokeism has literally become the guardian of degradation and
00:14:24decomposition. Let's discuss what's happening with Alexander
00:14:27Ionov, a member of the Human Rights Council under the President
00:14:30of Russia. Alexander, in your opinion, what drives the formation
00:14:34and promotion of woke culture? In general, the countries of the collective West
00:14:38today are betting
00:14:41on a depraved society in order
00:14:43to have fewer strong people,
00:14:47fewer passionate people, so that those
00:14:51regressions, that recession in the economy that today.
00:16:08understand one simple thing: a period has
00:16:12come when degenerates,
00:16:15psychopaths, people with inadequate
00:16:19psyche, yes, maybe not psychopaths,
00:16:22but with some deviations, I say this
00:16:26absolutely
00:16:29directly. Well, look at Kai Kaalos, before
00:16:32that Anna Baerbock, what things they
00:16:36said and say. And not only them, there
00:16:39are enough politicians who call for
00:16:43very strange actions. That is,
00:16:45the issues of shaping the future world are
00:16:49currently under great threat. If this
00:16:52continues further, then in
00:16:5610-15 years, we will face very lamentable consequences
00:17:00in the world of piety,
00:17:03a possible development in
00:17:06such... well, hell, I can't say it any other way, it will be very
00:17:10difficult to develop. A person with a healthy psyche by
00:17:13nature in their brain, yes, in
00:17:17the limbic system, in the neocortex, it's
00:17:20innate, by nature, yes through
00:17:23evolution, to live in a family,
00:17:26to pass on their genes to future generations,
00:17:30to ensure safety for future generations.
00:17:32Now there is a complete abolition of the institution.
00:17:36отмена института.
00:18:38he doesn't have bad thoughts about
00:18:41propagating any ideas
00:18:45other than going fishing with the guys and having a good
00:18:48time and raising children so they go to
00:18:52school, then to university and get a good education,
00:18:55this person who in his
00:18:58cadence constantly speaks only to the camera,
00:19:01this person, I don't want to offend
00:19:04bloggers now, most of them
00:19:08are normal, adequate, it's just their rhythm and stimulus
00:19:11of life, but unfortunately, psychotics also have equal
00:19:15rights on the internet, and the more odious
00:19:17their theses sound, the more
00:19:21attention they attract. It becomes a certain
00:19:24pop culture, here in Russia we even have effeminate bloggers who
00:19:27gather a huge number of
00:19:30subscribers and comments, because people start to
00:19:33be interested, a healthy psyche, when it
00:19:36sees an unhealthy picture,
00:19:39cognitive dissonance occurs,
00:19:42this forbidden fruit becomes sweet, people start paying attention to
00:19:46it, and as soon as they get involved in it, it's very
00:19:49difficult for them to stop, especially for an unformed psyche in
00:19:53adolescents. Therefore, when we talk about the sanitation
00:19:56of the information space, we must understand that this sanitation must first
00:19:59suppress any propaganda, not
00:20:03traditional propaganda, and everyone says, "Oh, it's about protecting
00:20:06democracy... it's a democratic process, sleep with whomever you want, sleep with whomever
00:20:10you want is a democratic process, but don't propagate it."
00:20:14Propaganda is the biggest problem
00:20:17in our world today, and we must understand
00:20:20that if we don't protect
00:20:24children from this, then in
00:20:2710-15 years, you will get a very
00:20:31serious problem generation. These
00:20:34children will not respect you, these children will not
00:20:37be carriers of traditional values, these children will not
00:20:41strive to pursue a career and education,
00:20:44these children will live solely for
00:20:47themselves and their fantasies. And only
00:20:51God knows where these fantasies will lead them. And this system
00:20:54is destructive, it is destructive from a psychological point of view,
00:20:58it is destructive from the point of view of the cultural code. Alexander,
00:21:02thank you very much for your
00:21:03opinion.
00:21:07What if the local population, under the influence of wokeism and
00:21:11the loneliness pandemic, stops starting families and having
00:21:15children? After all, businesses need workers, and markets
00:21:18need consumers.
00:21:50European officials found themselves in an impossible situation. The influx
00:21:54of migrants is gradually strengthening the positions of right-wing
00:21:57populists, who are actively scoring political
00:22:00points on this issue. It would seem that they should tighten
00:22:04the screws, but they can't do that for economic
00:22:06reasons. So it turns out that their actions
00:22:10increasingly resemble a blind person walking through a minefield.
00:22:13In February, the Spanish government
00:22:16addressed the legalization of immigrants in its territory
00:22:20in an attempt to eliminate the shadow economy in which they
00:22:23are involved. Pedro Sánchez announced a kind of
00:22:27amnesty, planning to legalize up to a million
00:22:30migrants living in Spain. This step also
00:22:33increased the chances of the Spanish Prime Minister
00:22:36to gain a million grateful voters who would
00:22:39most likely support him in the
00:22:42upcoming parliamentary elections. I am most
00:22:45concerned that they will eventually get the right
00:22:48to vote.
00:23:50Spanish
00:23:50exclave.
00:23:55Swimming, in circles, on boats, and even on bicycles, tens of thousands
00:23:58of migrants broke through to the Spanish exclave in Africa. In
00:24:02a matter of hours, new Europeans flooded the streets
00:24:05of Ceuta. Having spent their daily calorie allowance on the journey, they looked with
00:24:09temptation at grocery stores.
00:24:12Volunteers refused to come out with tea and cakes.
00:24:16In short, the local population was not hospitable.
00:24:19And they had to resort to extreme measures. Attempts
00:24:23to get food met with mixed success. All in all,
00:24:26the Moroccans felt right at home, which is not without
00:24:29reason. Ceuta and Melilla are disputed territories,
00:24:33a colonial legacy of Spain in Africa. Pedro Sánchez literally
00:24:37stated: there will be no revision of the Reconquista,
00:24:40we will not give up what was plundered.
00:24:42уступим.
00:24:45I would like to tell the residents of Ceuta that all of Spain is with them and...
00:24:50Spain supports the city of Ceuta. We take note of
00:24:53the emotional state and the grief in which
00:24:57you have been since yesterday. Secondly, I would like to call
00:25:00what happened yesterday an attack, a violation
00:25:03of the territorial integrity of Spain. Ceuta is a Spanish
00:25:06city, and what happened yesterday deserves our strongest
00:25:10condemnation, censure, rejection, and close
00:25:13attention to the violation of the territorial integrity
00:25:16of the Spanish city that Ceuta is. Dangerously.
00:25:20The journey of Moroccans to their native lands ended sadly
00:25:23for many. On the way to the flourishing garden, more
00:25:26than 70 people drowned. How did almost
00:25:30100,000 people suddenly appear at the exclave border?
00:25:33This obvious question refers to the political position of official
00:25:37Madrid. Spain refused to support the American adventure
00:25:41in the Middle East. The Prime Minister publicly criticized
00:25:45Donald Trump's actions. The White House's response was not long
00:25:48in coming: economic sanctions, public threats, and,
00:25:52of course, practical coercive measures. The attack on
00:25:55Spain. Representatives of collective Europe
00:25:58suggested that Madrid withstand it on its own in Finland. And
00:26:02Italy even hastened to reduce the Schengen zone by one
00:26:06state.
00:26:10Indeed, most European Union countries expressed support for Spain in
00:26:14this difficult and complex situation, which, as I have already said,
00:26:17we overcame in a short period of time. However, there are also
00:26:21other countries that took advantage of the situation or demonstrated
00:26:25absolutely selfish, disdainful and
00:26:27irresponsible attitudes, turning the egoism of party
00:26:31politics into an absolutely unacceptable course
00:26:33of action. The migration breakthrough in Ceuta created a serious
00:26:37political precedent. The closure of borders within
00:26:40the European Union calls into question the very existence
00:26:43of collective Europe. Freedom of movement for people, goods,
00:26:47services and capital are the main principles on which
00:26:50countries united. Now everyone prefers to close themselves
00:26:54in their own home and surround it with a fence. Everyone understands,
00:26:58Spain is the entry point, then migrants disperse throughout
00:27:01all. Germany, France, and
00:27:05Britain. This group, which is behind us now,
00:27:09is heading to the UK.
00:27:12They're very aggressive, almost all young men. French police
00:27:15are standing here on the beach and doing absolutely nothing. They have made no
00:27:19attempt to prevent them from landing from the beach, nor have they tried
00:27:22to intervene at sea, although the Belgians do. Endy Birnime's statement
00:27:26that the problem has been solved is simply laughable. And
00:27:29this boat full of jubilant illegal immigrants
00:27:33simply shows how far Endy Birnime is from reality on this
00:27:36issue. So, on this boat there are one or two people who, apparently, are organizing other migrants,
00:27:40acting as smugglers, instigators. One of them is a man
00:27:43who is standing with his back to us in a jacket with a Russian inscription. The other, I think,
00:27:47is the one who is currently getting out of the water. They both got off the boat, returned
00:27:51to the beach, and apparently, the man who is standing with his back to us was directing other
00:27:55migrants. It is quite obvious that he was a smuggler. I approached
00:27:58the French gendarme who was standing over there. I pointed this out to him, asked if
00:28:02he would arrest this man, you saw how he was directing other migrants, but
00:28:06the gendarmes just shrugged and said they didn't have enough evidence
00:28:09and they weren't going to arrest him. In Ceuta, there
00:28:12are still several thousand refugees, among them
00:28:16approximately 800 minors. They were first
00:28:19fed in a centralized manner only after several days.
00:28:23The European Union is systematically changing its face and
00:28:26becoming a zone of social tension.
00:28:29напряжённости.
00:28:35A no less intriguing situation unfolded around Ukrainian
00:28:38migrants in Poland. Official Warsaw unexpectedly considered
00:28:42Nazi manifestations in Ukraine. Politicians completely
00:28:46changed their rhetoric. Ukrainians were declared almost
00:28:49the worst enemies of the Polish people. Public
00:28:52broadcasting of hatred caused ethnic conflicts in the
00:28:56streets of Polish
00:28:57cities.
00:29:00Polish-Ukrainian relations are a curious experiment in which
00:29:04politicians persistently awaken in citizens feelings
00:29:07that are ancient, semi-animalistic, long since eradicated by social
00:29:11evolution. Well, how long ago? Nationalism was born about
00:29:14300 years ago, along with industrial capitalism, and
00:29:17it should have died in '45, when the banner over the Reichstag
00:29:21was plunged into the very heart of Hitlerism. Relapses
00:29:24of Nazism, of course, occurred in the nineties in the borderlands of the collapsed
00:29:27USSR, now in some South Asia, in
00:29:30Bangladesh, for example. In any case, it was an agony,
00:29:34death throes. Current global capitalism
00:29:38tries to abolish nations and national feelings, and
00:29:41replace ethnic culture with universal,
00:29:44Hollywood-style culture. Therefore, the pictures that can be observed in today's
00:29:48Poland are as if from the thirties, when some
00:29:51Europeans enthusiastically built on corpses and violence, some
00:29:54the Third Reich, some the Second Polish Republic, some the
00:29:57first united Ukrainian state led by a hypothetical
00:30:01Bandera or Shukhevych.
00:30:04Look at the satirical videos that "Afro-Poles," so to speak, are making.
00:30:07They are very grateful to Ukrainians because
00:30:11Poles switched from them to us. For now, they,
00:30:14the Afro-Poles, are not being touched.
00:30:16Every day, footage appears of beaten, bloody,
00:30:20insulted, frightened Ukrainians, and nearby
00:30:23are those blond baboons, representatives
00:30:26of Polish-European Aryanism, Übermenschen. They scream insults
00:30:30in the faces of Ukrainians.
00:31:02The semi-bandits were members of the Polish Association of Combat
00:31:05Sports. Its leaders quite publicly
00:31:09discuss among themselves.
00:31:12They are guests here, but they behave arrogantly. They provoke Poles,
00:31:16many scoundrels and idlers have come to Poland. We will have
00:31:19to gather the guys and deal with these Khokhols, because it seems something
00:31:23has happened in their heads.
00:31:26Hatred for Ukrainians is sown and cultivated among fellow citizens quite
00:31:30purposefully. Many Polish politicians are engaged in this,
00:31:33and the further right from the center, the more of them there are. There are many
00:31:37in the Law and Justice party, and countless in the Confederation.
00:31:41Moreover, these are not marginal figures, but quite respected and respectable. A part
00:31:45of the establishment confidently supports them, a third of citizens,
00:31:49another quarter wavers, but will join under certain conditions.
00:31:52In general, Ukrainophobia is becoming, from a perversion,
00:31:55a mainstream phenomenon.
00:31:59Yesterday my friend was attacked in Gdynia, just for speaking Ukrainian on the phone.
00:32:03It's clear that it's probably not the last case,
00:32:06xenophobia exists in some people, what to do? I have university here,
00:32:09work, children's school, but I don't want to live in a country
00:32:13where you can be attacked just because...
00:32:38the Kyiv National Pantheon, but politics is always a
00:32:42rational construct. If someone tries.
00:33:15attacks, then Russians will be at our border, they will enter
00:33:18Subcarpathia and the Świętokrzyskie Voivodeship. One does
00:33:21not need a particularly rich imagination to imagine
00:33:25such a thing. Our government, along with the left, has such
00:33:29an imagination and fears
00:33:31an invasion. There is another part of Polish
00:33:34pragmatist politicians. They remind that there are a million
00:33:38Ukrainians in the country, or even more. Payments to Ukrainian
00:33:41refugees have already been compensated in Warsaw by the European Union. At the same time,
00:33:45Ukrainians are the largest, the most disenfranchised,
00:33:48lowest-paid part of the Polish proletariat. They
00:33:51work where a Pole would never go, in dirty,
00:33:55dangerous, hard jobs.
00:33:59The arrival of Ukrainians who fled the war or decided to settle here
00:34:02in their lives, all of them play a huge role in the labor market. The level
00:34:06of productive activity of Ukrainian women exceeds
00:34:0970%. They pay social insurance, pay taxes. If
00:34:12Ukrainians are forcibly expelled from the market.
00:34:23There is a well-known aphorism: everything around us is done for money,
00:34:27only politics is for very big money.
00:34:30Attempts to resurrect long-dead nationalism in Poland have a
00:34:33clear economic nature. Successful local businesses
00:34:37are quite happy that they have a million
00:34:40cheap, disenfranchised Ost-arbeiters at their disposal. Such
00:34:43bourgeois represent... in politics, Tusk and his government.
00:34:47There are successful businessmen and those rapidly heading for
00:34:50bankruptcy, here is the testimony of Ukrainians in
00:34:53Poland. Crisis in Poland. Imagine,
00:34:56it's 9 PM now, there's not a single person in the
00:35:00shopping center, only security and some Polish woman sitting there, everything
00:35:04is closed, it seems this is the very beginning of the crisis, this
00:35:07is how it all looks, everything is very very sad, even at the
00:35:10information desk, no one. And
00:35:13how many such relatives.
00:35:16Is there a strategy for those who are drowning in the depths of the crisis and
00:35:20are in despair? This strategy is not yet there.
00:35:23Some believe in the protection of the national market and paternalism, others
00:35:27want to replace Ukrainian slaves with Colombian and Filipino slaves,
00:35:31as they are cheaper. In any case, the Ukrainians'
00:35:34scalps will continue to crack, such is the logic
00:35:37of national capitalism, which itself, however, is a relic of the past and
00:35:41is unlikely to last long, and the difference between a Pole and...
00:35:45for global capitalism, there is none at all, it will gladly devour and
00:35:49digest both. Technofascists Peter Thiel and
00:35:51Elon Musk are not interested in skin color and what's with your
00:35:55homeland, whether it has perished or just died,
00:35:59any slave is good
00:36:01for them.
00:36:06The Ukrainian venture is costing the Western taxpayer
00:36:09too much, and the more often Europeans find
00:36:12themselves unemployed on the street, the higher
00:36:16the degree of hatred towards the Ukrainian people will be, meaning they will be beaten
00:36:19not only in Poland, but in the backstreets of Berlin and
00:36:22Manchester. The impoverishment of the middle class in Europe
00:36:25actualizes the demand for... social justice, that
00:36:29very demand that for so long was successfully hidden under
00:36:32slogans of culture. The LGBT agenda is gradually
00:36:36losing to an empty refrigerator. Politicians
00:36:39are forced to adapt to this wave, which is trying
00:36:43to carry them to the sewage channels. The new Prime Minister
00:36:45of Britain, Andy Burnham, criticized the total
00:36:49sell-off of state assets. Margaret Thatcher's
00:36:52legacy is undergoing a complete re-evaluation.
00:36:56The British Prime Minister.
00:37:01I clearly see that in the 1980s,
00:37:04Britain made several wrong moves:
00:37:07political power was centralized, and economic power was privatized,
00:37:11the country lost control over vital areas: housing,
00:37:15water supply, energy, transport, leaving people alone
00:37:19with rising
00:37:19costs.
00:37:57Streamlining in the highest echelons of power has not yet been decided, however, any
00:38:01socialist slogans are already declared illegal.
00:38:04No one is ready to share income or develop social
00:38:08support for the population. Here's what US Secretary of State
00:38:11Marco Rubio says about this: This
00:38:15is a revolt of the worst against the best, a revolt of the weak and cowardly against
00:38:19the strong and
00:38:19good.
00:38:23It is committed by those who are not capable of creating,
00:38:27achieving great goals, instead avenging
00:38:31the world for their own inadequacy, trying to destroy those who
00:38:34are capable. This is what radical left-wing extremism is: it
00:38:38can hide behind different slogans and ideologies depending on
00:38:42the place and time.
00:38:45They can call themselves anti-capitalists, anti-imperialists,
00:38:49communists, anarchists, or Marxists, but the essence is always
00:38:52the same, always the same, it is
00:38:56poisonous. Word, hiding behind slogans of equality
00:39:00and justice, despair and an irresistible
00:39:04need to destroy what great people have created,
00:39:07to destroy the beautiful and right in the name of people who are full
00:39:11of ugliness, nothing else can be offered
00:39:14to the world.
00:39:18Let's discuss what's happening with a specialized expert. Political scientist Sergei Mikheev is
00:39:22with us. Sergei, why, in your opinion, has the topic
00:39:25of the communist threat started appearing in the speeches of Western
00:39:29politicians? I think this is primarily related to Trump and the upcoming
00:39:33elections to the US Congress,
00:39:36that's all, with his confrontation with the Democratic
00:39:39Party, right? Because Trump, well,
00:39:43exacerbates, so to speak, this struggle, right? Well, he uses
00:39:46such extreme formulations, so the second
00:39:50thing is, there are indeed such left-wing, so to speak,
00:39:53sentiments in the Democratic Party, there are some
00:39:57unofficial wings and factions that
00:39:59adhere to, well, all sorts of left and left-wing
00:40:03beliefs, partly even Trotskyist, right?
00:40:06Especially among the student, so to speak, and academic intelligentsia
00:40:09and so on and so forth, right? Well, Trump, as it were, calls them all
00:40:13communists and says that here again the communist threat
00:40:17is coming, so to speak, and so on and so forth. I personally
00:40:20consider this primarily in the context of the upcoming elections,
00:40:23right, in November, to the US Congress. The Republicans,
00:40:27led by Trump, do not have very good prospects, so he simply
00:40:31escalates the situation, as it were, by introducing this scandalous
00:40:33rhetoric. For us, it sounds
00:40:37specific, but for America it sounds completely normal,
00:40:41well, and communism in this sense is regarded
00:40:45as an unambiguous evil, well, and although the Democratic Party
00:40:48is certainly not communist, Trump just sticks
00:40:52this label on them, well, in order to solve his problems there,
00:40:56yes, and his problems there in
00:40:59the elections. What are the dangers of socialist slogans for
00:41:02the modern political system? When, so
00:41:05to speak, they ask about socialism, one needs to understand that we,
00:41:09of course, perceive all these things in a very cliché way,
00:41:13based on the education or
00:41:16the, so to speak, informational agenda, subculture that we inherited from Soviet
00:41:20times. In reality, the situation is much more colorful, much more
00:41:23diverse. And the question is, what to call socialism? This is.
00:41:41meaning
00:41:48long 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
00:41:52in almost all variants of socialism, for the rich, it means
00:41:56higher taxes, at least,
00:41:59yes, so it's about, for example, that. But again,
00:42:03the picture is much more complex, not at all flat.
00:42:06Is a socialist revolution possible in the West?
00:42:10I don't see any prospects for any socialist
00:42:14revolution at all. The world has changed so much
00:42:17that trying to analyze it,
00:42:20conventionally speaking,
00:42:22from a Marxist
00:42:24- from the point of view of Marxist dogmas that were
00:42:27formed at the end of the 19th century, is incorrect. That is, something,
00:42:31probably, yes, something sensible, still remains
00:42:34in Marxism, it can be applied, but in general, the situation has changed so much, it
00:42:38has become so complex, that in its classical form,
00:42:4119th-century Marxism is quite weakly applicable
00:42:45to the current situation, so there can be no talk of any socialist revolution in my opinion,
00:42:49especially since in many, as it were, capitalist countries, socialists
00:42:52periodically come to power, so what kind
00:42:56of revolution can there be if, for example, socialists are already in power? For example, in France,
00:43:00socialists ruled for quite a long time, and quite recently
00:43:03the socialist Scholz left his post as chancellor
00:43:07of the SPD. Many things simply don't correspond
00:43:10to the schemes that are easy to draw,
00:43:14yes, either these schemes are outdated, or they are too
00:43:16simplistic. The situation, as it were, is simply changing,
00:43:20therefore, regarding some socialist revolutions, I think
00:43:24there is no sense in even dreaming
00:43:27here. Sergey, thank you very much for your
00:43:30opinion.
00:43:34Big politics starts with each of us, reading books or
00:43:38scrolling reels, spending time with a child or turning on
00:43:41primitive cartoons for them, developing or enjoying
00:43:45degradation, a difficult choice that has to be made several times a
00:43:49day. In the end, we are responsible for this, both
00:43:52personally and socially. The end is not
00:43:56soon. This was the program Trends and scattered facts, packaged into
00:43:59a single concept. Until next
00:44:01time.
