Yanis Varoufakis takes John Bolton to school in "Global Stability" debate - a commentary

John Bolton tried to marginalize the topic of CIA sponsored coups around the world by saying "oh is this another one we need to take credit for". Yanis proceeds to school him on his (likely intentional) ignorance.
Remarkably, an hour later, John Bolton directly admits he regrets not being able to successfully coup the Venezuelan government and that it would have presented an excellent opportunity for American oil companies to "refurbish" Venezuela's oil industry 😅👍
Obviously Yanis had some issues with John's Bolton's statement/philosophies.

With Joshua Wong's name popping up again recently, here's a reminder video about his philosophy on trial and error violence.

Joshua is an incredibly xenophobic anti-mainland protest leader celebrity who helped fuel a lot of the violence towards mainlanders in Hong Kong.
This Taiwanese journalist had to repeatedly tell the crowd that they were from Taiwan and not the mainland so that they wouldn't get beaten up.

Even being mistaken as a mainlander was indeed risky business. This Japanese man was mistaken as one.

Albright, who previously said killing half a million Iraqi children was worth it, congratulates the new presidential team most likely to find another half million children worth less than America's foreign policy objectives to sacrifice once again.

I always found it interesting how "human rights" groups latched into a problematic character like Adrian Zenz simply because he's saying something that people want to hear. For those same people, had he been saying anything else, his problematic beliefs would have been an issue.
I've got one that really drives this serious cognitive dissonance issue point home far better than Adrian Zenz. Meet Cory Selby. A convicted animal abuser who killed his dogs, lived with their rotting corpses, and refused to do his community service in an animal shelter. ImageImageImageImage
He's a YouTuber whose been struggling to get views and ironically makes videos about animal abuse issues in China without any sense of irony or shame.

Albert Ettinger's Battleground TIBET.

Highlights and notes thread.

I'll slowly add to this over the next few weeks, so keep checking back. Image
Ettinger was driven to research This topic after recognizing his school lessons on Tibet were taught from a one-sided & manipulative Tibetan Exile point of view. Seeing the "Free Tibet" crowd protest China's human rights abuses by assaulting 2008 Olympic torch bearers added irony
This part was particularly interesting because when you see people tweet parts of Tibetan history that conflicts with their understanding of reality/lifetime of manipulation, this is exactly the reaction we've seen. Image

Some people asking me about my Sri Lanka trip I mentioned in my livestream yesterday. I visited in 2010 on a trip to donate eyeglasses to some of the people in the poorer countryside areas. A lot of people came together to make this happen. One of my favourite memories. ImageImageImageImage
I don't talk about it much, but it came up in relation to religion. I met some of the most humble & kind Buddhists monks in the countryside who refuse any of our gifts. Religious power in the cities was a very different story though, something I'll talk about more in future vids. ImageImageImage
Off topic, one of my favourite new experiences in Sri Lanka was Wood Apple. Incredibly sour. I've only ever seen it in Sri Lanka. I loved it, but you can tell by my wife's face, she wasn't a fan. ImageImage

Yes, absolutely. If any 10 year old child has grown up an environment where they believe they should be ready to sacrifice their life for a living spiritual leader like this, 100% I would without hesitation call this child abuse.
The Children of The Peoples Temple believed the same too.
If you wanna see what the 16 year old child in this tragic story looked like when he was 10 years old, look no further than the video of the 10 year old I posted in the first tweet. The world needs to stop romanticizing this cult immediately and demand the end of this child abuse
