Yanis Varoufakis & Slavoj Zizek | Festival INDIGO 2021 

bro is the best philosopher of our generation and you're surprised he can listen to people lol

@@bozdra clearly you've not taken in a lot of Žižek 😆 he himself often remarks in many talks and interviews about how he cannot stay silent.

@@nah8845 yeah I was just gonna say I’ve been into Zizek videos for years and this is the first time I’ve seen him this quiet and attentive. Refreshing to see.

Yes yes AMAZING 🙏❤️

fake rebel, he sold Greece to Germany and FMI

He admires Varoufakis

Ο Γιάνης Βαρουφάκης είναι πραγματικά ένας λαμπρός άνθρωπος και ήταν πάντα έτσι. ΔΕΝ είναι κυνικός. Ο Gid σώσε τον για πάντα. Ανθρώπινος διανοούμενος Δίας!

Funnily enough Zizek is also friends with Ralph Fines who played Voldemort.

Fiennes@@alexstrixner1156

And Varoufakis said here Fiennes was initially supposed to play him in the Gavras film

when I say 'good society', it is a reference to what I have heard Yanis say at least once I think

No se puede!!

tell that to the Huns...occupants of modern Greece

He is smart but he is a con artist unfortuantely

​​@@JinnDanteThe Greek prime minister is also a conman, but less intelligent and less competent.

@@JinnDante You must be Greek.

@@JinnDante In what sense?

hahaha ker simp jaooo

As if this works. It will just be deleted if it creates any meaningful impact.

i also am a moron

2:06:20 sick burn

Yeap. People who watched this debate know far more than the citizens of Greece who this summer threw Yanis out of the Greek Parliament believing (due to Main stream media lies) that "He closed our banks". We get what we deserve .

Word

Blood in the streets comes from the anti social media like RU-vid, the corporate news - TV, newspapers, radio and all online corporate own carp that Tell us who to hate and attack. Get off of it and stop being brainwashed.

They know what is going on; there’s no time to do anything about it. Most people are busy surviving, while others are under the narcosis of some media.

@@Baczkowa78 exactly.

Everyone knows whats going on.

😊😊😊

A bit late of a reply but I’ll tell you. Varoufakis himself explained that the agreements were in Greek law, not British law as the later ones were. As such they are subject to Greek rule and anyone trying to sue the government for the money owed would have to go though Greek courts... how do you think that would have gone? Then there is the other portion he explained a bit. If he wrote off the debt unilaterally Greece exits the Euro and prints its own money. The money owed was in Euro, Greece doesn’t have Euro so the creditors either take the D or they take the Drachmas you give them, either way they are kinda screwed. Then there are also other ways. The government can come in and say they don’t recognize the debt as signed by other governments because for example they had no right to sell the future labor of Greeks or future wealth etc etc. It’s been done before. Argentina told the IMF to piss off. The IMF left, Argentina didnt pay back a cent, nothing happened. Iceland, same thing. These jackals even do it themselves. Iraq or Afghanistan I can’t recall, owed a bunch of money. When the US entered 20 years ago, the debt was waved away magically and that’s it. Of course huge manufacturers were brought in to make roads and buildings in the middle of the desert that were never used but the people didn’t pay anything. The only reason to say there is accountability for fake money is if you believe the story of those printing it and selling it to you.

Those 29 billion were treasury bonds created under greek law. So yanis had 2 things. 1) Greek law says the finance minister can control the date those bonds mature, even after they've been issued. When he says "write down" he means pushing the maturation date (the day the government has to pay back the bonds) backwards by perhaps 50, 70, 100 years. 2) As they were held under greek law, any challenge to this date changing would be heard in a greek court, who would have ruled in his favour even if they didn't have this first power.

only in comic books..... Don't forget that this summer the Greeks threw Yanis out from the Greek Parliament.

NAY! VIVA HELLAS! Ο Γιάνης Βαρουφάκης είναι πραγματικά ένας λαμπρός άνθρωπος και ήταν πάντα έτσι. ΔΕΝ είναι κυνικός. Ο Gid σώσε τον για πάντα. Ανθρώπινος διανοούμενος Δίας!

​@@nickolasgaspar9660 Yes because of his Brilliant Mind.... Very Brave Man

It's not imperial if it's your own country. I'm not defending what China is doing to Uyghurs, but it's not semantically accurate to call it imperialism, when imperialism is the theory or attitude of maintaining or extending power over foreign nations, particularly through expansionism.

Just because imperialism is often done with racist justification does not mean all racist policies are imperialist. Japanese-American internment in WW2 was not imperialist, for example, but racist. Maybe "imperious" is the word you mean.

Since the current trend of imperialism was set by the west (who colonized most of the world and have done little to reverse it), it doesn't seem fair to lump in the treatment of a minority group in such a large country with it. It deserves condemnation, but calling it imperialism is way too much. It's like calling a single rape case equivalent to genocide.

What short-sightedness are you referring to?

That doesn't sound like anything that was said here...and "ideological ties and burdens to the Germans" with their "ancestor" Greeks!?? What utter fantastical rubbish!

He is just sharing his deficiency in spotting human bias. @@manchesterunited9576

after a moment, clearly describing what Deleuze wrote about in Postscript on the Societies of Control. Nice one.

Nobody knows. Even the govermenents or Jeff Bezos, curently is status qwo, till something explodes

Άντε Γιάννη πήγαινε!!! Είσαι τόσο απίστευτα έξυπνος!

but you are ok to be controlled by the American lobby. Its all about who you identify as us and them. Both will use them for their own gain.

@@nickolasgaspar9660 you can take your straw man back 🥰

Of course you don't want that! But, what you want is to be controlled and to be unaware of it. Pure enjoyment.

The Chinese is not about control. It's business! So compete and not play dirty.

@@SL18085 haha yeah sure

@@yawnathanlin7080 Thank you!

Just yesterday, i observed a road construction site in Ghana. Lead workers were Chinese, all other construction workers (including skilled machinery operators) where locals. It hurt my soul, that i don't see European or US citizens there doing business and by thus transferring knowledge to Ghanaians!

They are building schools and hospitals and infrastructure that actually will uplift a coubtry economically and socially, you brainwashed dimwit.

In other news water is wet. Of course when a foreign country helps you they have vested interest.

@@Natsukashii-Records Yes, they are buying influence but they are not exploiting the Africans. Only capitalist psychopaths naturally gravitate to such a sociopathic mentality. It has been shown numerous times that China's BRI is far more developing and equitable than western schemes from IMF. You people are just projecting your own evil intentions onto others.

Yannis is as smart

Don't be ridiculous.

@@hazelwray4184 they even deport people back to n korea lmao.. your the one being ridiculous

Why

Maybe you can read his Book " Adults in the Room " Eye opener. 🌍

can you or any of the 4 people that liked this comment tell me why?

@@gamer-jw3ui Well I guess because they realize that he's deeply totalitarian in his views and intentions. Plus the fact that he was already in charge but failed miserably. But I know, that wasnt real Socialism, right? 🤣🤡🤡

@@exocet8834 well then what do you think about the european union?

The problem is that in order to do that you need investments and a healthy economy but when you have to pay a huge debt you don't have much breathing room and your economy suffers. Of course you also need to avoid corrupt politicians who pocket the money of the investments, don't care about justice being served , having healthy competition in the private sector, having a healthy pubic sector, investing in your people so they can be productive, hunt down the local mafias instead of joining them etc . But poor uneducated people who are desperate tend to eat the propaganda of those politicians so it's an endless cycle , someone could help break that cycle if they actually cared and had a real role to play like the EU.

​@@silotx the problem is with the people that trust political parties. I would rather trust a single independent politician that isn't part of any political party and only cares about his/her constituents at the local level. and key here is also giving people more power at the local level instead of large federal government and establishment to take care of something. I believe that people that pay taxes at the local level should only be invested in the same local region. what some of the taxes people pay to the government of course should go for national defense(military) or for a national construction project like a railway system or roads. again, abolish political parties. trust your politicians at the local level only. and if they aren't good, replace them.

That’s extremely naive

How so?

Εξαιρετικά ενδιαφέρων διάλογος.

If you think of it in terms of what women have to put up with from men, even just to keep the peace sometimes, then it appears masochistic in order that relationships with men can function at all. It is probably more self loathing misandrist if anything. You can now go back and watch the rest. It was worth it and Zizek didn't contribute much more...👍

?

You are fried

five years gulag for you

@@bongwater_ With that kind of people you will get 5 years as well.

Making jokes about concept of prison: disguisting Making rape jokes about prison: hillarious Beibg serious about black people and immigrants being more violent and deserving prison (and rape inside): serious political discussion Making women not have access to basic medical care: Law. The above sums up the western hypocrisy quite nicely.

In what way are they failed, exactly? They have a huge global audience. Doesn't sound like failing.

@vebdaklu his ideas are of central global planning. How well do you think ANY central planning has gone? Why doesn't he actually pose real concrete plans, ever? Just a bunch of fantasy babble.

Imagine how many people WANT to read your moronic comments, and yet here you are.

are you CIA?

Many people do actually! I.wonder why you say that? If you disagree with him thats ok, not necessary to say he shouldn't speak

Well I do, you know who I really don’t want to see? People like you
