@@kingseth3 There is a shitton of misinformation so here's at least one post to set the record straight. No, Kraut did not doxx people, Kraut was the guy who was doxxed. What happened was that Kraut had made a server created by him and others to compile accessible info against alt-righters like Lauren Southern, Ryan Faulk, Coach Red-Pill, etc. Many people infiltrated his server claiming they weren't white nationalists (like Aydin Paladin) and started their own campaign. Because the anti-sjw community at the time were chummy with right wing thought because "feminism is cancer", they believed what Kraut was doing was the worst of the worst and decided to oust him (and again, dox him and his family). Months after this info went down, it turned out many of Kraut's accusers were found to be liars. Of course the damage was already done. The anti-sjw community was in shambles. The Far Right became the prevailing mindset with The Killstream, Warski Live, and The Daily Shoah gaining views. It was only within mid 2018 with people like Drallasta, Liberal Sanity Project, and Three Arrows, along with the rising popularity of the old guard like Contrapoints and Shawn, that left wingers returned to the mic. Granted he did release irl info about Coach Red-Pill, but all of it was info that Coach had publicly released on his own beforehand.
@C Ernesto Or maybe we are seeing new viewers who started watching during the break, so normal to you really is more to them. I am in that camp personally.
Quick correction: Around 27 minutes, he said Syria has the Atlas mountains going in into Lebanon. That's wrong, the Atlas Mountains are located in Morocco, thousands of kilometers away. He probably meant the An-Nusayriyah mountains (also called Syrian coastal mountain range) which connects to Mount Lebanon and Anti-Lebanon Mountains through Homs Gap.
@@luperamos7307the man spends hundreds of hours reading books and drawing balls so what if he names the wrong mountain range ,also what do you mean he narrates books his vids are like 4hrs long (if you add all the parts) no good political book is just 4hrs long also his content isn’t suppose to be entertaining like how destiny is yeah you can lesrn from people like destiny but if your serious about learning about politics you listen to people like kraut who only educated and overlooks current social issues that are not important to future bigger picture issues.
@@solitariumos It's not learning at all. See my previous comment. Especially his Yugoslavia video was awful where he omitted facts and cherished the destruction of Belgrade
That point was just so wrong, considering that first off that every movie shown in china litterallly gets censored and american companies already changeing their movies to suite china
Someone xd there may be a way despite all that to complete this task. There's a lot of levels to the plan and maybe I'm stretching but I feel it's possible. I would explain it if you want me to go further.
@@someonexd1961 specific content might be censored, but Chris Evans tasty buns are more than enough influence to make the Chinese have a positive outlook of the United States.
@@wizzzer1337 ah yes when this is the highest grossing film in china lol (Domestic film) ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-fkqGiPB2D8M.html
Zherka was just on Destiny's stream the other day talking how Iran was becoming more Americanized and younger generations becoming more secular. That said, I'd be careful about mixing up causation and correlation.
I didn't realise how much following destiny into his recent convos was melting my brain , this is a breathe of fresh air real information !!! The audience is here bring it to us !!!!
I'm from South Africa. I know a lot of adults who fought for the South African Defence Force in Angola. Kraut simplified it a bit, but that is understandable. Glad to see the conflict get some attention.
Is it just me or is Destiny talking even faster than he used to? Combined with how slowly Kraut talks I found I had to rewind a lot... that being said, this is a great convo. I love Kraut’s videos.
Neon Jesus What’s more important than democracy per se is an open society in which government receives input from below. The strongest societies are able to take local innovations (like Kraut’s Prussian healthcare example) and use their competent bureaucracy to scale them up. Taiwan and Korea do this very well, and even China does to some extent-in the 80s the local government in Guangdong spearheaded market reforms in special economic zones, and the central government gradually expanded the reforms to the whole country. The problem with the US is that, thanks to the utter collapse of civic organizations that organized and informed the masses, like local news and unions, people can no longer coordinate at the local level to spearhead change-at best they can come together under the influence of social media as short-lived, leaderless protest movements without a clear agenda. All anyone can do is fixate on the federal government, and fight over the prize of congress, the presidency and the Supreme Court with the aim of fixing society from the top down in one fell swoop. The biggest problem with this is that no one actually understands national politics on a policy level, since it’s so disconnected from our daily lives, and so we devolve into fighting over moral issues and signifiers of identity. Furthermore, our bureaucracy has become old and incompetent. Young, smart and ambitious people go to Wall Street or Silicon Valley rather than going into government, and many of them actually hold government in contempt. By contrast, in the 60s an organization like NASA was overwhelmingly staffed with people under 30.
One thing to keep in mind is that Turkey is moving it's arab refugees into a majority kurdish region as to create human barrier between the Rojava kurds and Turkey.
I love how when the editor spreads out videos to make sure content comes out consistantly they get shit on for being slow, but when they do release content immediately people complain that to much stuff is posted at the same time
1:19:15 A couple of points that should also be added. The US dollar trade favorably against the Chinese yuan, even if all other productivity factors was equal, it would be substantially cheaper for move manufacturing to China because workers can be paid in a relatively cheap currency, and the goods they make can be sold in dollars which are more valuable. Kraut is missing the mark on productivity. Whether or not a country has higher labor productivity isn't the deciding factor; its the cost of each unit of labor that determines where production is built. Furthermore, America is a services economy, and China is a manufacturing economy, and those productivity values are not interchangeable. If China and US swapped roles they would both produce less. 1:21:00 A bit of an mis-statement. The companies that are leaving China, are moving into even lower wage countries like Vietnam and India. In fact, a lot of Chinese suppliers are doing this as well. I'm not sure why he thinks that they could just come to the US instead. Did he not think the Apple board room considered a list of countries to diversify their supply chain into? They did, and they found that they would make more money at a lower risk by moving production into other low wage countries than moving production here. 1:21:37 What does he main spend billions of dollars helping other countries combat china versus investing money in the United States instead? The direction of capital is determined by return. One 1 billion dollars could buy several factors and employ thousands of workers in Vietnam over several years and generate quick returns. 1 billion dollars invested here will be comparatively less.
The Atlas mountains moved themselves from Morocco to Syria? That's Incredible! Who the hell said Vietnam loves China? They've been fighting for like 4000 years.
I watched almost none of this video bc it’s late and I don’t really have time BUT just wanted to comment that Chinese labor IS cheaper. Government subsidies are real but it isn’t the reason chinese manufacturing production is so high. It is a very competitive industrial economy where people are willing to work long hours in low-skill low-paying jobs because their alternative might be plowing a farm in a village that doesn’t have a hospital or paved roads. As their economy booms and people begin to expect a higher quality of life their manufacturing will get more expensive. That’s why they are investing in industries in Africa and the Middle East, so that they can offload their cheap labor eventuality
Chinese labor is actually not that low when comparing to other developing countries right now. Labor is just one factor in total manufacturing cost and often times it's not even the biggest component. Moreover, more and more manufacturing is being done by machines so it's not that relevant anymore. I'm sure there is no other country investing more into robots and AI in factories than China. Even the US, which enjoys high wages, still produces the 2nd most after China. So, I think China will still dominate manufacturing in the future but probably less of the cheap plastic kind.
hahaha I didn't understand a goddamn thing in this entire video, including and especially how tf factorio works, but I still enjoyed listening to people have big brain disagreements
The TPP was a really meaningful step in that it was a trade community and at the same time holding back China. The reason why Korea and Japan agreed on the TPP despite the many differences between the two countries was because they agreed with the US vision of how to effectively stop China. When Trump was elected and the TPP collapsed, Korea had to completely revise its foreign strategy. And we thought while watching the trade war. If there were TPP, the US wouldn't have had to fight China at such a cost.
Some points to point out to address Kraut's comment on Manchurian Independence. 1) There is no Manchu independence movement. You can find a few outliers but that's not an argument. It is like saying Canada is a Nazi country and when challenged, find some fringe groups and outliers to try to prove the point. 2) The modern Chinese identity as a multi-ethnic supra-nation is a Manchu creation, not a Han creation. Manchu imperials and dynasts referred to themselves literally as "Zhongguo" in Mandarin and "China" in English. 3) There are less than 100 Manchu speakers and of the 10 million ethnic Manchus, the overwhelming majority are so by law but not by race. You literally cannot tell the difference between a Han and a Manchu. I bet you didn't know Wu Jing, the Chinese action star who starred on Chinese Rambo-like movies like Wolf Warrior, is Manchu, not Han. Like China or not, at least approach it from an angle of understanding and realism.
Wow! This guy has a really good understanding of Turkey. I find Turkish history fascinating. They came from cetral east asia, dominated the middle east, took over the roman empire and governed three continents for centuries. If they had used brutal force like the mongols, they would have made enemies everywhere and would have never created a stable empire. In one way, Turks became what they conquered. When they conquered the Middle East, they became Persians. When they conquered the Roman empire, they became Romans.
In reference to the guy's comments right at the end of the video, I wish people would stop generalizing "The Midwest" as if it's a depopulated wasteland where no one lives. More people live in the Midwest than the Northeast, and the West overall is not that far ahead either.
Authoritarians can be proactive and far-future oriented, but often times they have to focus on the narrow and immediate goal of establishing their own security. This does not always cause long term societal success and often counters it. China may be on an upswing now, but those same faults of dictatorship can come back to haunt it.
BTW: foreign movies represent 10-20% of the market in China. Chinese domestic movies have accounted for 80%+ of the box office for at least 5 years now. Chinese people don’t like American stories more, only the big blockbusters because, like every other country, only Hollywood could make them. However, if you talk to Chinese viewers, they often criticise American stories as cliched. A good example of this is Star Wars, where Chinese audience never saw the originals in cinemas, audiences felt they black&white morality of the story feels like kids play. Now for those who are going to bring up Transformers, Chinese audiences grew up watching the cartoons and they represent a nostalgia trip more than Star Wars. Recent larger budget movies such as “Wandering Earth”, which made 500million USD box office (on a 50million budget), means that they are also creating their own blockbusters.
@@Godzillaaaaa11 Well that would be unequivocally and inherently false of you to infer I'm white. I can't begin to understand how you extrapolated that. Its pitiful to say the least. I'm Jewish, not white.
@@orangecream3340 The one child policy is specifically what caused this mess due to traditional chinese culture favoring boys over girls causing what you can only call a gendercide. Now there's 130 men for every 100 women in China, that can't be good for society to have that many men be without a partner simply by lack of choices. And don't tell me they'll just marry non-Chinese because the vast majority will not, far too many Chinese men believe the Chinese women "belong" to them and that it would bring shame to the family to marry a non-Chinese. Some will sure, but a lot won't and instead will just be bitter at not finding a girl.
@@SeruraRenge11 not so sure about the non-chinese women though. They are getting desperate and therefore there is a rising trend to kidnap or lure Women from poor villages in Myanmar, Vietnam and North Korea and force them to marriage and childbirth
