    This is anti-Western propaganda, and this is not an intellectual. Yanis has been conveying the same anti-European rant (Europe gets it all wrong, it should not rearm, the West is doomed, capitalism is bad) for years now. Together with the late Noam Chomsky and Jeff Sachs he spreads narratives that play into the hands of Russia, China, and other autocracies by simply criticizing Europe and the West.

      critique is not destruction??

      this is literally pointing out what’s wrong with shit and why

      can you even imagine a world of peace? because only seeing enemies in any country anywhere is the result of fearmongering and warmongering. here Yanis doesn’t generalize countries as enemies. do you hate every Russian person and Chinese person? ofcourse not, i hope! so what about liking every person born in europe? likewise!

      what matters is the dialogue to argue important matters on road to pushing away the bad and lifting up the good in every nation state. here Yanis’ critique is patriotic to EU in the way intellectuals are patriotic: “look at the bad shit that has happened and understand it to avoid more of it while helping citizens of EU countries in this crisis.”

      or are you humans who downvote in an echo chamber where uncomfortable conversations feel threatening?

        The Ten Stages of the Russian Genocide in Ukraine

        Russia has committed every war crime and crime against humanity, including relentless, indiscriminate attacks against civilians, systematic torture, mass rape, and the forced transfer of Ukrainian children to Russia.

        We must note that the Chinese party-state is a decisive enabler of Russia invasion of Ukraine and has been increasingly aggressive against its Asian neighbours.

        That aside, generally accusing all Europeans of ‘warmongering’ without naming the governments that are responsible for the crimes against humanity committed by Russian soldiers in Ukraine and the hybrid warfare activities orchestrated by the Russian government across the European continent and its allies ignores the reality and discredits Yanis (and you) completely.

          it doesn’t fit into your worldviews that both Palestine-Israel and Ukraine-Ruzzia are bad?

          Fuck the Ruzzia, more of Russia.

          Fuck Euro-cocksucking-their-american-pa, more of Europe.

          Critique of both, not one bad over the other bad. Here is critique of europe in this video from a previous finance minister with serious organizational force today. Are you gonna deflect what he’s saying about the EU to glorify dogmatically? and ignore the parts of current regimes that can rule better just to re-militarize and debt-trap and lose European worldstanding? Unpatriotic Treason and warmongering.

        because only seeing enemies in any country anywhere is the result of fearmongering and warmongering

        Exactly. We have seen that. Namely the Ruzzians, sponsered by CCP, NK and Khamenei.
