MISTAKE: At 28:45 Lazerpig references the David Lynch 1984 adaption of Dune, but then shows a clip from the Sci Fi channels Dune TV Miniseries from the 2000s. I am disgusted, shocked and appalled by this grievous error.
HOW DARE HE????!!! The David Lynch film is a masterpiece!!! And then some other guy made one even better. Man, Austin Butler is mad talented. Look forward to seeing what he does next.
Two points: 1.) "There's no conspiracy, in fact, there's no one in charge." is the theme to a Canadian horror movie called Cube. Great film. Check it out. 2.) There's a channel called History Matters and a lot of their videos are "Why did Country X invade Country Y". The narrator will explain the circumstances that led to the war and at the very end of most videos, he finishes with, "In short, they invaded because they thought they would win." I think that applies here.
A final summary like "because they though they would win" is a shuck-and-jive of monumental scale. Said once, it may be entertaining. Said twice or more is just time-wasting repetition and a pointer to the possible time wasting of the entire video. See, you can impute the SAME to the video, so why waste everybody's time, other than the clicks?
History Matters makes very surface level content and never actually explains stuff though. Sweeping shit under the ruf with "they thought they would win" is genuinely detrimental to how we look at war
@@rbaxter286 "Said once, it may be entertaining. Said twice or more is just time-wasting repetition and a pointer to the possible time wasting of the entire video." Why are you offering this kind of critique? History Matters gives much more context than "They thought they were going to win" - the phrase "they thought they were going to win" at the end is said to basically just sum up that the invading country had a lot of advantages, the ones that were explained during, you know, the 3-minute short video. I don't get it. Either you've watched a History Matters video like that, which means that you should KNOW your criticism is unfounded and that you're just yelling at a brick wall, or you haven't watched a single video - which means that you're just... what? Giving critique based off of a RUclips comment? In which case I ask why are you criticising something you haven't bothered to even watch? That's just stupid.
The part about London in the end had reminded me of Pratchett "No enemies had ever taken Ankh-Morpork. Well technically they had, quite often; the city welcomed free-spending barbarian invaders, but somehow the puzzled raiders found, after a few days, that they didn't own their horses any more, and within a couple of months they were just another minority group with its own graffiti and food shops."
"When dragons belch and hippos flee My thoughts, Ankh-Morpork, are of thee Let others boast of martial dash For we have boldly fought with cash We own all your helmets, we own all your shoes We own all your generals - touch us and you'll lose. Morporkia! Morporkia! Morporkia owns the day! We can rule you wholesale Touch us and you'll pay."

The dark side of the Force is a pathway to many abilities some consider to be unnatural. He became so powerful… the only thing he was afraid of was losing his power, which eventually, of course, he did. Unfortunately, he taught his apprentice everything he knew, then his apprentice killed him in his sleep. Ironic. He could save others from death, but not himself."

Merkel has said her greatest regret was underestimating Putin, she legitimately thought that what they were building was what Putin would go for, because it made the most economic and security sense for literally everyone
That was the mistake of every Western leader of the post-Cold War period. We assumed that the Russians, the Chinese, the Arabs, and everybody else would see the prosperity of the secular, democratic West and so eagerly work towards making their own societies open, secular and democratic to emulate our success. But these people were raised by authoritarian ideologies. Might makes right is the foundational value of their societies. They weren't going to change their way of thinking just because one major player dropped out of the game. They saw our wealth and did not think "We want the same", they thought "We want to take theirs".
@@HellbirdIV It didn't really help that when they _did_ try democracy, one of the most common winners was socialism - not as in the Soviet Union, but rather, _actual_ socialism. As in, "our natural resources belongs to our nation" and "fair wages and fair conditions for our workers." Which wasn't very popular with the big western corporations which rather enjoyed the insane profits to be made by extracting resources with no regard for environmental protection and outsourcing factories where they didn't have to pay attention to things like "worker safety", "overtime", "paid leave", or indeed "no children" and "no slaves"... And the response of the Western governments was to violently overthrow the budding flower of democracy and reinstate whatever local strongman was willing to play ball and sell out their countrymen. This is _literally_ where the entire concept of "Banana Republics" come from.
The Thebans didn't beat the Spartans in battle, they crushed them. The Spartans never recovered from that campaign and it was essentially the end of them as the main player in the region. The reason the Spartans were never "conquered" by the Macedonians was because they had become entirely irrelevant, which was well known by the Macedonians because Phillip was *there* with the Thebans.
@@pluemas All of the Greek States, including Sparta, knew it was more beneficial to fight WITH the Macedonians than AGAINST. There was far more to gain in plunder from afar, than to be crushed a second time and annihilated permanently by yet another superior neighbor.

I watched part of Tucker’s interview with Putin, and it was genuinely so unbelievably funny to watch Tucker sit there in complete shock and disbelief as Putin would deflect Tucker’s comments about the liberals destroying the American way of life, and go on to say some shit like “Before time began, there was THE CUBE. We know not where it comes from, only that it holds the power to create worlds and fill them with life. That is how our race was born. For a time, we lived in harmony. However, our time of peace ended when the west attacked.”

Re: that part about MK Ultra, everything said was true. It just leaves off an important part- these experiments were performed on their own citizens without any sort of consent.
@JoshSweetvale yes and no He was part of the experiments But not really the way people think, there weren't any drugs, torture or shit the movie tells you Instead it was a group of collage students where, you said your posture or belief in something, and literally everyone bullied you so hard, until they either gave up, or you changed your mind And considering the bomber had a extremely large ego by that time who didn't like getting critiqued, you can guess how he reacted to getting bullied about what he believed Tge whole experiment he wndured was if, with enough pressure, someone could be Made to change their beliefs
Very True the US Government is sometimes just that bad you know they are known for questionable ethics but. Counterpoint: The USSR is guaranteed to have done something similar to MK Ultra and with the same lack of consent from the experimentees and that same thing probably expands to most soviet experiments especially before Mid-Khruschiev which is half of Soviet History

Unironically, I think you are pretty correct. It seems that Russian leaders kinda just do shit for personal glory and legacy. They see the straight up worship of their past leaders, and all want to be Peter the Great. For a guy like Putin, being remembered as a great Russian conqueror is about all the justification that is needed. All the politics and leveraging of the decades of embarrassment that the Russian people have experienced is a means to an end.
From the West.... Putin's motivation is to expand Russia's border to a defensible forward position. That was the point of the Warsaw pact, and the USSR overall.

Edit - Ha, I KNEW typing that would wrinkle the sun soaked shrivled speedo European balls. Especially the more sugar part. Processed bread has more. I don't taste it. Probably due to other additives. Yet my point still stands. Its just fresh bread. Other wise it tastes like any other fresh bread across the world, and is over rated AF. And you know.

I remeber that factory shutdown video it was the thing that opened my eyes and made me go "Wait a minute, forcing people to prop up a posibly failing enterprise at gun point isnt cool and badass its something a totalitarian dictator would do".
It also doesn’t do anything. If factories are closing down there is an underlying cause. The closures are just a symptom. Okay now you force one factory to stay open. With what money? If it’s not profitable to run, how long before it just shuts down again . A big strong man running around and forcing evil corporations to stay open is only a successful “leader” in the mind of a moron.

I have a strategy that I like to use whenever I encounter a conspiracy theorist: whatever they’re on about, I laugh at them, tell them to open their eyes, and then _take it about 50 steps further_ Birds aren’t real?

Pffft, don’t you know that we live in a 2-dimensional reality and “flat” is a concept developed by big optometry to sell more glasses? The moon landing was fake? Pffft, you think the moon is real? It’s just a projection on the sky screen, which is a thing btw, the CIA set the whole thing up to sell more planes Surprisingly, this actually typically works - most of them barely even believe the what they’re saying, they mostly just spout that crap for attention and to satisfy their need to feel “different” from the “sheeple”, so when someone comes along that seems to fully believe that _they_ are the blind fools, it utterly baffles them. And it’s hilarious to watch them grapple with it in front of my very eyes. The only time it really backfires is when they agree with me 😂

Just putting it out there, MKULTRA wasn't just the truth serum research, it was the umbrella project for interrogation research as a whole. It also involved some really horrifying experiments regarding "electroshock therapy" conducted on Canadian psychological patients, which ended up producing some of the results still found in CIA interrogation handbooks as of the 2000s. As I understand it, there was a deliberate effort to emphasize the "woo zany LSD" stuff and really whip up the conspiracy theorists, in order to draw attention away to the research on interrogation techniques that were brutally effective (as far as torture goes), like sleep deprivation and zapping people with a car battery just right.

I was in Russia in the late 90's when Putin was coming to power. I told the Russians I was living with that Putin was a KGB Communist, but they wanted a Dictator. They missed being a Superpower and wanted their Empire back.
I don´t think they wanted their Empire back but the Living Standard they had back then. 90s Eastern Bloc was a Shitshow everywhere and Putin jumped the Stage at a perfect Timing when Oil Prices were high and Russia finally made some Money again.
Literally Germany in the interwar period. What people are unaware of is that Russia requires a proper deimperialization becouse they never got any. They never got properly humbled before the fall of the USSR, and you need to be humbled at least twice to stop being a cunt country.
This is one of my points and it is sad, but it seems as the moscovites still have almost the entirety of what was their old empire on their hands they will be a problem, and for the good of the small nations the Russian Federation should cease existing. How much blood could be avoided of getting spilled if russians would respected the desire of the chechens of being free and their own nation. If they failed and collapsed as an absolute fiasco as it is Haiti, that would be their fault, but no... it has to be keep united the nation even if it is by force. If not then, the Spanish Empire is in it's right to reclaim the viceroyalties in the americas, and the african/asian domains. The same goes for Ukraine's invation. The fact that people of your nation lives there is not an excuse to invade it, if not Mexico would be in it's 657th war against the US. Even as an argentine I get that you cannot do whatever you want only because you believe it's the right thing. It is an extremely backwards mentality and deserve to be shunned by anyone who doesn't want to be stomped by another just because that another think that has the right to do so.
It's funny to think that some really think that invasion of Ukraine was a result of some shadow organisation, while in reality, Ukraine tried to get free from russia for a long time. Even if we will not count UNR/ZUNR in the 1910-1920s which ultimately fell under Soviet attacks, we can trace fights for Ukrainian independance from 1940s (and much feared by russians Stepan Bandera and his group that was going against USSR and was willing to go anywhere including some less desirable ways like conspiring with nazis (then again, this was case of, as we say "Toad fucking a snake" equally awful options where no lesser evil was to be found and germans had better promises for Bandera than russians had)) up to 1980s-1990s when lots of people were going for referendum to leave USSR as it fell apart, to 2004 with "Orange Revolution" where Victor Yushenko won presidential elections and was strictly anti-russian and he got enormous support from population. Yushenko was not able to hold leadership for long in the end and his political opponent - pro-russian Victor Yanukovich got control in the end, however he also couldn't hold control over country as in 2013 another, actual revolution happened and he was thrown away and had to run to the russia which ended up with russian invasion to the Donetsk and Luhansk regions and occupation of Crimea. Basically Ukraine was, for a long time, against russia and Putin but he saw himself as a savior and "Stupid Khokhols" didn't understood his virtue in his way of thought. What's worse - it is general russian way of thinking. And tbh, typical western way of thinking. Westerns generally don't see genocide or racism if victim of those actions aren't way too different visually from opressors - Ukrainians and Georgians as example, don't look too different from russians, but if you would go to russia, you will likely hear really racist takes on other nations - black-asses, khokhols and other racial slurs are used by russians against Ukrainians as often as american white supremacists will blame n***** in all of their issues. And I heard that shit by myself when I was in russia in 2012, and gladly avoided slandering because of my perfect russian so most of them never even though that I was Ukrainian.
I agree. As Lazerpig said, everything in russia is seen as fight for life, if you go to Moscow and they pick up that your accent is from outside the region... you're gonna get treated like shit. There are many different ethnicities in russia, many people in russia speak one of many other languages in their home.
people seriously dont understand what life under communism was like, my Dad spent the first 9 years of his life under it (Poland) 1980-89 and one time he told me "where I lived we didnt have a bathroom, 4-6 families had to share one, but we were lucky as I knew a friend who had to share an outside bathroom by the bins with the entire bloc" along with things like "i used to think oranges only grow on christmas"
If you lived in Europe in the '50s (I haven't), it's not that dissimilar. Bathrooms were only mandated in new homes in 1965 here in the Netherlands. Though by 1989, they were much better. All I'm saying is that the luxury we live in today is relatively recent either way.
Then consider that during the 90's Russian real terms wages fell by like 12x and everything started to look so bad that it made the Glasgow of that period seem nice, peaceful and drug free. Now you understand why practically every Russian who can remember the nineties and didn't make out like a bandit during it would vote for Putin even if he declared war on mars, life is not great, but it is stable, what they worry about is not him, it's if he has a heir lined up.
What life under authoritarianism was like. The hypocrisy of Russian "communism" is that members of the Communist Party were the elite--an elite that isn't supposed to exist in a communist society. It was a fascist dictatorship not much different than fascist Italy, just replacing the Catholic Church with the cult of personality around Stalin/"The Motherland". The USSR was as communist as the North Korean "People's Democratic Republic" is for the North Korean people, a democracy, or a republic.
1:00:30 "hypnosis doesn't work if you know you're being hypnotised" disagree, erotic hypnosis is very effective and very fun and I'm well aware it's going on when it happens (this sounds like I'm writing a joke but it's unironically true lol) "you can't hypnotise someone into doing something they don't want to" is true though

Whatever you wanna think of Tucker, it's still absolutely hilarious how Putin drones on for 15 minutes and then Tucker just stumps him by going "So how's this relevant to Ukraine"? xD
Yeah it's pretty clear that while this isn't an entirely hostile interview, because if it was, dude wouldn't have made it out of the country, but Tucker was pushing it where he could.
Washing Tucker make someone look like they don't know what they're talking about is really sad. This is the guy who got embarrassed on Joe Rogan because he didn't believe evolution happened.😂 The fact Tucker is the reasonable one is sad.
Tucker did his best to steer the conversation away from the propaganda working for Russians towards propaganda working for his own audience. He failed miserably.
@@charliebrenton4421 I dunno about that. I couldn't stomach watching the interview for more than 30 minutes cause it was excruciating. If Carlson kept the interview the same like he did in the first 30 minutes, he probably did a good enough job. But holy crap it was like pulling teeth.
25:15 the "funny" thing (notwithstanding the bloodshed, etc.) is that Russia attempted just that in the Donbass and the only thing that actually worked is when they sent their army. They refuted their own conspiracy theory and then doubled down.
Not to mention that when the ukranian army then (far weaker than in 2021) and alt right "militias" (that were more clusters of drunkhards shooting civilian guns for fun at fake targets) waked up of their alcohol-induced nap kicked back the russian army from capturing 50% of the country, mainly the south back to Crimea and Donbas/Luhansk... wich should then be the biggest foreshadowin of what would happening in a total war between russia and ukraine
That pattern has a lot of historic precedent. The British also went from "morale bombing is useless, the Germans are wasting their time. If anything it actually increased support for the war among survivors!" to "if we morale bomb the Germans, surely they'll lose heart and surrender."
are the femboys the preds? are they only eating people who are secretly femboys? is this soft or hardvore? *the people need to know!* (for some reason...)
That's honestly the best part about this whole thing. If the CIA was actually as competent and powerful as people made it out to be, they probably wouldn't need to resort to the garbage policies that they used. If they wanted a regime change, they could just "spark" a revolution with a leader that everyone didn't hate. Hell, they probably could have taken out the USSR much sooner if they could do so.
CIA is like depends. Sometimes they are those badass super operators that deals with foreign enemies, sometimes they are just dumb fucks. Dealing with Russia and China they are those cool dudes in suits but dealing with their own problems like failing a project they are absolute idiots.
My mother escaped communist Hungary when she was 10 (she’s a fan of your videos too). Her father’s (my grandfather’s) entire family was taken while he was gone at college; he was only left alone through pure luck. We still don’t know what happened to them. I’ve heard stories; one that really comes to mind involves a family being taken and their 2 children being found days later when the neighbors saw them playing alone in the yard. Both of those kids ended up dying in coal mines. The United States has committed atrocities, but all of it pales in comparison - whether in scale or true horror - to the things that the USSR did to its people.
The true horror I feel is the banality of the communist atrocities. The normalisation of it all to the public. I don't doubt the US has done shit to its citizens but the scale and extent pale in comparison as you say.
Hello, I'm a Hungarian too! Did your Mom left Hungary during '56 or some other time? A lot of Hungarians left the country after the revolution but I can imagine happening before it aswell.
The US has through its history killed, enslaved, and denied the rights of tens of millions of native Americans, African slaves, and peoples of foreign nations it has invaded. Welcome to reality, there are almost no good things happening on the international stage.
I don't remember where I heard this, but from what I remember, letting your enemy just talk in an easy way to remove the mask of his and see his true face.
I believe that the most appropriate phrase for this situation is "don't interrupt an enemy when they are making a mistake" Except that Carlson thought he was allies with him but hey nobody said that Carlson was smart.
To think that one man had decided to create his own cinematic universe and put himself at the center of it, only to cover up the most basic motivation every megalomaniac has: "Gimme your stuff, I want it." Sincerely, one hysterically laughing suicidal Ukrainian.
The thing about the interview with Putin is that Putin was acting as if it was targeted towards the domestic Russian audience (and to an extent, it was as The Tucker Carlson show is extremely popular among Russians). Compare it with Tucker's interview with Dugin (a Russian propagandist to the West) who operated as if it was targeted towards a western audience.
My favourite color revolution was when Victor Hugo used the printing press to explain why the printing press would destroy the significance of architecture as a means of transmitting cultural continuity to across generations in order to save the cathedral of Notre Dame in Paris -- and it worked -- and then Disney made a classic animated musical about it.
@@M30W3Rnotre dame de Paris was in a state of disrepair and completely out of fashion. then Victor Hugo wrote the hugely influential and famous "hunchback of notre dame" a bit like Goethe a century before him. it put medieval architecture and cathedrals in particular back on the cultural map. those buildings were in post meant to teach the bible and Saint lives to people unable to read thanks to their colourful sculptures, woodwork and windows. this coincided with the start of the idea of saving and preserving historical monuments. hence the rebuilding of the spire of notre dame, thanks to Hugo and Violet Le duc (which famously burned a few years ago, but is back baby ! )
I'm in the national guard and know people who have been to Iraq and Afghanistan. They are people who still feel the effects of those wars respectively very strongly. It scares me to think I could be next regardless of where I'm sent to.
It's a big racket. I've been deployed to the middle east and it's nothing special. Only an incredibly tiny fraction of the military will ever even be on a front line. The real losers are the civilians who live there
LP's explanation is a little reductive: there have been "successful" color revolutions... or at least partially successful ones. Something you will often hear Leftists talk about is Operation GLADIO, which was where the US and the rest of NATO pumped money into funding what DEFINITELY weren't Terror Groups masquerading as "militias" under the idea that they would act as "stay behind" units in the case of an outright Soviet Invasion, but also with the understanding that these groups would naturally increase tensions in and around their populations and make people desire stability and the status quo rather than collectivism. For an at-home example (for Americans), the handling of the end of the Vietnam War is one of the most successful color revolutions for seemingly no reason; somehow, the myth of war protestors spitting on returned Vets [when the actuality was most of those returned Vets immediately became war protestors] has permeated American Veteran and military culture, despite having NO documented examples, either in newspapers, on television, in flyers, or in police reports. And that's why so many people vote to "support their troops" while simultaneously voting for the people who are actively gutting the support programs we made for those troops to "lower taxes" (which never materialize). "The VA is inefficient and a clusterfuck." WELL GEE, I WONDER WHY? Another at-home example is the Gun Rights movement, which was far more overt: Reagan made the very laws that today make California restrictive for gun owners for the explicit purpose of disarming the Black Panthers. However, when he became President, he turned around and did the opposite because the NRA (a somewhat-Conservative organization at the time) was largely White and upper/middle class. The NRA became ever more Conservative, and now 2a radicals revere Reagan with near religious fervor, if not outright religious fervor. The common factor in all of these is that they don't cause outright Revolutions (with the possible exception of the latter, see January 6th). But they do cause major political shifts in previously moderate or apathetic institutions and populations. Preventing the militant African American Rights groups from arming meant that a lot of the Gun Rights movements that popped up would be skewed towards a White perspective. Splitting antiwar protestors from veterans rights groups meant that the latter would rarely criticize wars even when they existed for seemingly no reason. The United States didn't suddenly change to militant Conservative views in a single revolution, but it HAS become increasingly divided on fundamental issues.
Playing devil's advocate, you need to also keep in mind that color revolutions were done by bourgeois students who lacked life experience. Its true that many adults supported such things and the revolutions were successful when the adults could take charge and keep things from going too far. I think Ukraine's youth made the mistake of being too hostile towards Russia which Putin used as justification to oppress the country.
@@ryelor123 Then we get to the "keys to power" theory of governance. Who keeps the current government in power? Revolutions may start because of "bourgeois students", but students alone cannot do much unless the rest of the populace agrees with them. Gauging public sentiment is among the most difficult things a government can do, but it is the most important, and the more a government tries to grab on to power, the less likely they are able to accurately gauge public sentiment because the public will find it very difficult, hazardous even, to even politely voice out discontent. Hostility towards Russia or not, Putin will oppress Ukraine no matter what. Putin fundamentally doesn't even think Ukraine should exist as an entity in the first place. Don't even for a second think the Ukrainians brought Russia's violence upon themselves.
Honestly, I think American conservatives are opposed to more aid to Ukraine for the same reason that ANY political position is taken in America these days... Because the other side supports it. Gotta love our two party system.
Trust me if some neocon was in power and supported Ukraine the code pink and Chomky's would protest it In fact, Code pink did along with the Libertarians.
NO WE DO NOT SUPPORT IT BECAUSE WE HATE OUR INCOMPETENT POLITICAL ELITE WHO ARE USING IT TO LAUNDER MONEY TO THEMSELVES!!! SO WE DON'T SUPPORT ANY OF IT!
from polling Ive seen have of Republicans still support sending more aide to Ukraine. People tend to forget that the American political parties are both Big Tent parties and while the hardline Trump supporters are against sending more aide, there is still a large base of old school cold warrior types that want to see Russia beaten again.
Considering Brexit allowed Boris to send weapons to Ukraine without Germany being supine and useless getting in the way, it went about as well for Putin as the Special Military Operation did.

Two points:
1.) "There's no conspiracy, in fact, there's no one in charge." is the theme to a Canadian horror movie called Cube. Great film. Check it out.
2.) There's a channel called History Matters and a lot of their videos are "Why did Country X invade Country Y". The narrator will explain the circumstances that led to the war and at the very end of most videos, he finishes with, "In short, they invaded because they thought they would win." I think that applies here.
A final summary like "because they though they would win" is a shuck-and-jive of monumental scale.
Said once, it may be entertaining. Said twice or more is just time-wasting repetition and a pointer to the possible time wasting of the entire video.
See, you can impute the SAME to the video, so why waste everybody's time, other than the clicks?
Everybody should see The Cube, it's criminally underappreciated outside of my country and even 25ish years later it's still creepy as hell.
History Matters makes very surface level content and never actually explains stuff though. Sweeping shit under the ruf with "they thought they would win" is genuinely detrimental to how we look at war
I remember watching the Cube when it came out but I was too young to really understand it. I only watched it because it had Nicole de Boer in it.
@@rbaxter286 "Said once, it may be entertaining. Said twice or more is just time-wasting repetition and a pointer to the possible time wasting of the entire video." Why are you offering this kind of critique? History Matters gives much more context than "They thought they were going to win" - the phrase "they thought they were going to win" at the end is said to basically just sum up that the invading country had a lot of advantages, the ones that were explained during, you know, the 3-minute short video.
I don't get it. Either you've watched a History Matters video like that, which means that you should KNOW your criticism is unfounded and that you're just yelling at a brick wall, or you haven't watched a single video - which means that you're just... what? Giving critique based off of a RUclips comment? In which case I ask why are you criticising something you haven't bothered to even watch? That's just stupid.
The part about London in the end had reminded me of Pratchett
"No enemies had ever taken Ankh-Morpork. Well technically they had, quite often; the city welcomed free-spending barbarian invaders, but somehow the puzzled raiders found, after a few days, that they didn't own their horses any more, and within a couple of months they were just another minority group with its own graffiti and food shops."
I love Terry Pratchett
"When dragons belch and hippos flee
My thoughts, Ankh-Morpork, are of thee
Let others boast of martial dash
For we have boldly fought with cash
We own all your helmets, we own all your shoes
We own all your generals - touch us and you'll lose.

Re: that part about MK Ultra, everything said was true. It just leaves off an important part- these experiments were performed on their own citizens without any sort of consent.
Including the Unabomber.
So MKUltra caused _that_ too.
@JoshSweetvale yes and no
He was part of the experiments
But not really the way people think, there weren't any drugs, torture or shit the movie tells you
Instead it was a group of collage students where, you said your posture or belief in something, and literally everyone bullied you so hard, until they either gave up, or you changed your mind
And considering the bomber had a extremely large ego by that time who didn't like getting critiqued, you can guess how he reacted to getting bullied about what he believed
Tge whole experiment he wndured was if, with enough pressure, someone could be Made to change their beliefs
Very True the US Government is sometimes just that bad you know they are known for questionable ethics but.
Counterpoint: The USSR is guaranteed to have done something similar to MK Ultra and with the same lack of consent from the experimentees and that same thing probably expands to most soviet experiments especially before Mid-Khruschiev which is half of Soviet History

Unironically, I think you are pretty correct. It seems that Russian leaders kinda just do shit for personal glory and legacy. They see the straight up worship of their past leaders, and all want to be Peter the Great. For a guy like Putin, being remembered as a great Russian conqueror is about all the justification that is needed. All the politics and leveraging of the decades of embarrassment that the Russian people have experienced is a means to an end.
From the West.... Putin's motivation is to expand Russia's border to a defensible forward position. That was the point of the Warsaw pact, and the USSR overall.
The thing is, Russia doesn't have anything that the rest of the world wants. That's besides the point, that Russians are dying ethnicity.

Birds aren’t real? Pffft, the sky isn’t real, it’s all just a hallucination caused by the fluoride in our water

The moon landing was fake? Pffft, you think the moon is real? It’s just a projection on the sky screen, which is a thing btw, the CIA set the whole thing up to sell more planes
Surprisingly, this actually typically works - most of them barely even believe the what they’re saying, they mostly just spout that crap for attention and to satisfy their need to feel “different” from the “sheeple”, so when someone comes along that seems to fully believe that _they_ are the blind fools, it utterly baffles them.

Just putting it out there, MKULTRA wasn't just the truth serum research, it was the umbrella project for interrogation research as a whole. It also involved some really horrifying experiments regarding "electroshock therapy" conducted on Canadian psychological patients, which ended up producing some of the results still found in CIA interrogation handbooks as of the 2000s. As I understand it, there was a deliberate effort to emphasize the "woo zany LSD" stuff and really whip up the conspiracy theorists, in order to draw attention away to the research on interrogation techniques that were brutally effective (as far as torture goes), like sleep deprivation and zapping people with a car battery just right.

Or put another way, propaganda is designed to propagate, hence the name. The evil connotation comes from its usage, not its form.
I was in Russia in the late 90's when Putin was coming to power. I told the Russians I was living with that Putin was a KGB Communist, but they wanted a Dictator. They missed being a Superpower and wanted their Empire back.
I don´t think they wanted their Empire back but the Living Standard they had back then. 90s Eastern Bloc was a Shitshow everywhere and Putin jumped the Stage at a perfect Timing when Oil Prices were high and Russia finally made some Money again.
cuz country was robbed by the west , kremlin was packed by cia agents
Literally Germany in the interwar period. What people are unaware of is that Russia requires a proper deimperialization becouse they never got any. They never got properly humbled before the fall of the USSR, and you need to be humbled at least twice to stop being a cunt country.
Human pride what a weird thing to say
This is one of my points and it is sad, but it seems as the moscovites still have almost the entirety of what was their old empire on their hands they will be a problem, and for the good of the small nations the Russian Federation should cease existing. How much blood could be avoided of getting spilled if russians would respected the desire of the chechens of being free and their own nation. If they failed and collapsed as an absolute fiasco as it is Haiti, that would be their fault, but no... it has to be keep united the nation even if it is by force. If not then, the Spanish Empire is in it's right to reclaim the viceroyalties in the americas, and the african/asian domains.
The same goes for Ukraine's invation. The fact that people of your nation lives there is not an excuse to invade it, if not Mexico would be in it's 657th war against the US. Even as an argentine I get that you cannot do whatever you want only because you believe it's the right thing. It is an extremely backwards mentality and deserve to be shunned by anyone who doesn't want to be stomped by another just because that another think that has the right to do so.
It's funny to think that some really think that invasion of Ukraine was a result of some shadow organisation, while in reality, Ukraine tried to get free from russia for a long time. Even if we will not count UNR/ZUNR in the 1910-1920s which ultimately fell under Soviet attacks, we can trace fights for Ukrainian independance from 1940s (and much feared by russians Stepan Bandera and his group that was going against USSR and was willing to go anywhere including some less desirable ways like conspiring with nazis (then again, this was case of, as we say "Toad fucking a snake" equally awful options where no lesser evil was to be found and germans had better promises for Bandera than russians had)) up to 1980s-1990s when lots of people were going for referendum to leave USSR as it fell apart, to 2004 with "Orange Revolution" where Victor Yushenko won presidential elections and was strictly anti-russian and he got enormous support from population. Yushenko was not able to hold leadership for long in the end and his political opponent - pro-russian Victor Yanukovich got control in the end, however he also couldn't hold control over country as in 2013 another, actual revolution happened and he was thrown away and had to run to the russia which ended up with russian invasion to the Donetsk and Luhansk regions and occupation of Crimea.
Basically Ukraine was, for a long time, against russia and Putin but he saw himself as a savior and "Stupid Khokhols" didn't understood his virtue in his way of thought. What's worse - it is general russian way of thinking. And tbh, typical western way of thinking. Westerns generally don't see genocide or racism if victim of those actions aren't way too different visually from opressors - Ukrainians and Georgians as example, don't look too different from russians, but if you would go to russia, you will likely hear really racist takes on other nations - black-asses, khokhols and other racial slurs are used by russians against Ukrainians as often as american white supremacists will blame n***** in all of their issues.
And I heard that shit by myself when I was in russia in 2012, and gladly avoided slandering because of my perfect russian so most of them never even though that I was Ukrainian.
I agree. As Lazerpig said, everything in russia is seen as fight for life, if you go to Moscow and they pick up that your accent is from outside the region... you're gonna get treated like shit. There are many different ethnicities in russia, many people in russia speak one of many other languages in their home.

@@palamecianrider7385 i mean the spartans weren't exactly straight.
people seriously dont understand what life under communism was like, my Dad spent the first 9 years of his life under it (Poland) 1980-89 and one time he told me "where I lived we didnt have a bathroom, 4-6 families had to share one, but we were lucky as I knew a friend who had to share an outside bathroom by the bins with the entire bloc"
along with things like "i used to think oranges only grow on christmas"
If you lived in Europe in the '50s (I haven't), it's not that dissimilar. Bathrooms were only mandated in new homes in 1965 here in the Netherlands. Though by 1989, they were much better.
All I'm saying is that the luxury we live in today is relatively recent either way.
Communism is great, if you like being in summer camp all year long
Then consider that during the 90's Russian real terms wages fell by like 12x and everything started to look so bad that it made the Glasgow of that period seem nice, peaceful and drug free.
Now you understand why practically every Russian who can remember the nineties and didn't make out like a bandit during it would vote for Putin even if he declared war on mars, life is not great, but it is stable, what they worry about is not him, it's if he has a heir lined up.
What life under authoritarianism was like. The hypocrisy of Russian "communism" is that members of the Communist Party were the elite--an elite that isn't supposed to exist in a communist society. It was a fascist dictatorship not much different than fascist Italy, just replacing the Catholic Church with the cult of personality around Stalin/"The Motherland". The USSR was as communist as the North Korean "People's Democratic Republic" is for the North Korean people, a democracy, or a republic.

Tucker did his best to steer the conversation away from the propaganda working for Russians towards propaganda working for his own audience. He failed miserably.
@@charliebrenton4421 I dunno about that. I couldn't stomach watching the interview for more than 30 minutes cause it was excruciating. If Carlson kept the interview the same like he did in the first 30 minutes, he probably did a good enough job. But holy crap it was like pulling teeth.
25:15 the "funny" thing (notwithstanding the bloodshed, etc.) is that Russia attempted just that in the Donbass and the only thing that actually worked is when they sent their army. They refuted their own conspiracy theory and then doubled down.
Not to mention that when the ukranian army then (far weaker than in 2021) and alt right "militias" (that were more clusters of drunkhards shooting civilian guns for fun at fake targets) waked up of their alcohol-induced nap kicked back the russian army from capturing 50% of the country, mainly the south back to Crimea and Donbas/Luhansk... wich should then be the biggest foreshadowin of what would happening in a total war between russia and ukraine
That pattern has a lot of historic precedent. The British also went from "morale bombing is useless, the Germans are wasting their time. If anything it actually increased support for the war among survivors!" to "if we morale bomb the Germans, surely they'll lose heart and surrender."

That's honestly the best part about this whole thing. If the CIA was actually as competent and powerful as people made it out to be, they probably wouldn't need to resort to the garbage policies that they used. If they wanted a regime change, they could just "spark" a revolution with a leader that everyone didn't hate. Hell, they probably could have taken out the USSR much sooner if they could do so.
Those people think the CIA commits to projects costing billions of dollars and thousands of man hours just to spite them personally.
Join the Cia they said, it'll be FUN!!
*some analyst falling asleep looking at foreign tweets*
CIA is like depends. Sometimes they are those badass super operators that deals with foreign enemies, sometimes they are just dumb fucks. Dealing with Russia and China they are those cool dudes in suits but dealing with their own problems like failing a project they are absolute idiots.

My mother escaped communist Hungary when she was 10 (she’s a fan of your videos too). Her father’s (my grandfather’s) entire family was taken while he was gone at college; he was only left alone through pure luck. We still don’t know what happened to them. I’ve heard stories; one that really comes to mind involves a family being taken and their 2 children being found days later when the neighbors saw them playing alone in the yard. Both of those kids ended up dying in coal mines. The United States has committed atrocities, but all of it pales in comparison - whether in scale or true horror - to the things that the USSR did to its people.
The true horror I feel is the banality of the communist atrocities. The normalisation of it all to the public. I don't doubt the US has done shit to its citizens but the scale and extent pale in comparison as you say.
But liberals tried to make me wear a mask so immune compromised people would not die so clearly they are worse then facism-Republicians
Hello, I'm a Hungarian too!
Did your Mom left Hungary during '56 or some other time? A lot of Hungarians left the country after the revolution but I can imagine happening before it aswell.

The thing about the interview with Putin is that Putin was acting as if it was targeted towards the domestic Russian audience (and to an extent, it was as The Tucker Carlson show is extremely popular among Russians). Compare it with Tucker's interview with Dugin (a Russian propagandist to the West) who operated as if it was targeted towards a western audience.
My favourite color revolution was when Victor Hugo used the printing press to explain why the printing press would destroy the significance of architecture as a means of transmitting cultural continuity to across generations in order to save the cathedral of Notre Dame in Paris -- and it worked -- and then Disney made a classic animated musical about it.
Can you elaborate on this one?
My favourite one was Princes purple rain with the revolution.
@@M30W3Rnotre dame de Paris was in a state of disrepair and completely out of fashion. then Victor Hugo wrote the hugely influential and famous "hunchback of notre dame" a bit like Goethe a century before him. it put medieval architecture and cathedrals in particular back on the cultural map.
those buildings were in post meant to teach the bible and Saint lives to people unable to read thanks to their colourful sculptures, woodwork and windows.
this coincided with the start of the idea of saving and preserving historical monuments. hence the rebuilding of the spire of notre dame, thanks to Hugo and Violet Le duc (which famously burned a few years ago, but is back baby ! )

Color Revolution Theory: For egomaniacs who can’t admit that the Other Side may have legitimate points, or more popular support than they do.
"its impossible for the other side to win the election it must of been stolen from me!"
These elections are rigged, so I won’t vote.
Wtf why didn’t my side win, this shit is fake af
LP's explanation is a little reductive: there have been "successful" color revolutions... or at least partially successful ones. Something you will often hear Leftists talk about is Operation GLADIO, which was where the US and the rest of NATO pumped money into funding what DEFINITELY weren't Terror Groups masquerading as "militias" under the idea that they would act as "stay behind" units in the case of an outright Soviet Invasion, but also with the understanding that these groups would naturally increase tensions in and around their populations and make people desire stability and the status quo rather than collectivism.
For an at-home example (for Americans), the handling of the end of the Vietnam War is one of the most successful color revolutions for seemingly no reason; somehow, the myth of war protestors spitting on returned Vets [when the actuality was most of those returned Vets immediately became war protestors] has permeated American Veteran and military culture, despite having NO documented examples, either in newspapers, on television, in flyers, or in police reports. And that's why so many people vote to "support their troops" while simultaneously voting for the people who are actively gutting the support programs we made for those troops to "lower taxes" (which never materialize). "The VA is inefficient and a clusterfuck." WELL GEE, I WONDER WHY?
Another at-home example is the Gun Rights movement, which was far more overt: Reagan made the very laws that today make California restrictive for gun owners for the explicit purpose of disarming the Black Panthers. However, when he became President, he turned around and did the opposite because the NRA (a somewhat-Conservative organization at the time) was largely White and upper/middle class. The NRA became ever more Conservative, and now 2a radicals revere Reagan with near religious fervor, if not outright religious fervor.
The common factor in all of these is that they don't cause outright Revolutions (with the possible exception of the latter, see January 6th). But they do cause major political shifts in previously moderate or apathetic institutions and populations. Preventing the militant African American Rights groups from arming meant that a lot of the Gun Rights movements that popped up would be skewed towards a White perspective. Splitting antiwar protestors from veterans rights groups meant that the latter would rarely criticize wars even when they existed for seemingly no reason. The United States didn't suddenly change to militant Conservative views in a single revolution, but it HAS become increasingly divided on fundamental issues.
Playing devil's advocate, you need to also keep in mind that color revolutions were done by bourgeois students who lacked life experience. Its true that many adults supported such things and the revolutions were successful when the adults could take charge and keep things from going too far. I think Ukraine's youth made the mistake of being too hostile towards Russia which Putin used as justification to oppress the country.
@@ryelor123 Then we get to the "keys to power" theory of governance. Who keeps the current government in power? Revolutions may start because of "bourgeois students", but students alone cannot do much unless the rest of the populace agrees with them. Gauging public sentiment is among the most difficult things a government can do, but it is the most important, and the more a government tries to grab on to power, the less likely they are able to accurately gauge public sentiment because the public will find it very difficult, hazardous even, to even politely voice out discontent.
Hostility towards Russia or not, Putin will oppress Ukraine no matter what. Putin fundamentally doesn't even think Ukraine should exist as an entity in the first place. Don't even for a second think the Ukrainians brought Russia's violence upon themselves.

People tend to forget that the American political parties are both Big Tent parties and while the hardline Trump supporters are against sending more aide, there is still a large base of old school cold warrior types that want to see Russia beaten again.
Considering Brexit allowed Boris to send weapons to Ukraine without Germany being supine and useless getting in the way, it went about as well for Putin as the Special Military Operation did.
