The western notion that a middle class whose well-being is independent of state owned enterprises should exist is destabilizing to the ccp, so retaliation seems likely.
if "depropagandizing westerners and showing them the bad and ugly sides of the systems they live in" can be seen as destabilization, then maybe it is indeed time for some destabilization :)
investigative journalism, activism, historical game theory analysis. makes people smarter, and makes it harder for the elites to lie to their people.
your take gives me the same feelings i have about how we handle africa, asia and latin america. "We can't pay them fair wages and let them control their own resources, that would collapse our system", "sounds to me like our system is built on exploitation and oppression and deserves to collapse".
In a few of his videos he directly criticizes china and has a hilarious lecture about communism being a capitalist joke but I think it's more like a 150+ hour Joe Rogan episode.
His claim to fame is the one where he correctly predicts Trump's win and the current war with Iran, etc.
Addressing your question - he has hours of lectures exploring western culture - the greeks, christianity, rome, germany - the paints them in a really positive way from what I've seen so, if anything, he is indoctrinating people into western culture.
OpenSpec adds a lightweight spec layer on top of AI agents, so you agree on what to build before any code is written.
In 1.0, the workflow has been rebuilt around an action-based system where AI understands your project's state—what artifacts exist, what's ready to create, and what each action unlocks.
Strangely, the Polish word seems to encode a superposition of both settings: with NODELAY on, TCP sends messages suddenly, whereas with NODELAY off it sends tiny messages all at once, in one TCP packet.
> Why would countries join the EU and the Euro if it didn't benefit them?
Joining benefits the country's elites, rather than its general populace -- and it's these elites who decide whether to join.
Bulgaria joining will weaken the Euro, which benefits big, export-oriented economies such as Germany and France. This is how the Euro has always worked: the big economies dilute their trade surpluses at the cost of smaller European countries.
no proofs, just rephrasing what anti-eu propaganda says. also it is nice how people think they are able to dismiss a policy like the euro in 2 sentences thinking they understand it. probably without a phd in economics either.
