The "idealism" Glenn talks about is a fake idealism that serves as pretext for imperial expansion of Western hegemony.
In previous ages, humans used religion as a pretext for fighting wars against those who worshipped different gods from our own. Since secular society cannot use religion for imperial expansion, we have invented a secular ideology of human rights and democracy for which we ought to fight wars.
The irony is that by "promoting democracy" worldwide as pretext for imperial expansion, we destroy democracy at home and abroad. At home, because we need to lie about our real intentions and because we have to suppress dissenting voices. Abroad, because we corrupt the democratic process in foreign countries by bankrolling dissidents who serve our geopolitical aims but not necessarily the interests of their own country.
The perfidy is that many people sincerely believe in human rights and democracy without being aware that they are being used for imperial aims. That's probably the reason why the Neocons today are liberals rather than conservatives.
Such a good argument! I suppose the idealist, to be an idealist, must maintain a disjunction between their idealism and empirical actuality, in the worrying tradition of " reality creation". In that sense the idealist and the religious dogmatist have in common a belief in the imposition on reality of their supposedly superior epistemology, which can hardly expect to avoid strong resistance from actuality itself. The idealist seems to be a subjectivist convinced of the objectivity of their internal representations, which seems to be a form of insanity, of demanding that maps dictate territory. Does the situation of privilege and the hidden desire to preserve, maintain and advance it not perhaps constitute part of the causality of the idealist disorder? Does the conflict with the old civilisation of Russia afford the adolescent empire of the USA an opportunity to grow up? What a pity the cost must be so high of so much power being in the hands of such a disturbed system of denials, dogmatism and aggression!
Humwawa, Jul 6: Maybe, but that is a secondary question. What is at stake is that so many people actually think that way – they are perfectly happy to moralize. Or they go exclusively by a rule ethics instead of a consequence ethic or a mixture of the two.
And that is always dangerous. Even when the Russians do it – as they do, as documented by Minda Holm at the Norwegian Institute of International Affairs (Mutual lack of introspection and the Russia factor in the liberal West, 2019). Both parties of the conflict are completely enchanted of what the other bastards are doing, and all they do is to condemn that. They give a big fuck to the question how one should get out of the mess both parties have created for themselves.
I can agree that the US neocons don't care, they probably think the US will gain from Europe's loss. But the European politicians should care, they don't gain anything from the conflict, they rather lose from having a new Iron Curtain sealing them off from the world. Still, they are unable to see that, because they are blinded by moralizing.
very realistic-reflecting points - that fx. also John Mearsheimer points to!
Norman Finkelstein and all others, supporting that "all nations & people should naturalli /of course be equal" - are also putting forward arguments like this.
Actually this is a trend.
And, more "ingredients" goes into the "dish" ...
- white/western hegenomy,
- imperialism,
- etno-centricism,
- security-policy,
But, the fast is - that they all exists and also have been exposed, since october 7. 2023.
And - as it was important to get white-supremacy exposed, after George Floyd, by Black Lifes Matter etc - then it is now important to continue digging - and to keep collecting and connecting the dots!
and, it is important, NOT to end in a "we do not agree".
We need to "leave space for each other" - and "respect each other & our arguments"!
We need to build - and not be stubborn.
Stubborn, is another word for, what now can cause a 3. World War or middle-east Regional Big War!
Merging and Respecting - and Accepting, that the other party/part, has the same borders, concerns & feelings, as we have!
we are all people, humans - and we all have family, children, and we all want to live!
Excellent! I have often used the example of Mexico in discussions with my fellow-Americans. Often they are at first stunned at the *very idea* of Mexico making a military alliance with the PRC and dismiss the analogy out of hand, thus demonstrating their lack of "strategic empathy." Others pause, and think..."OMG! NOW I see what you're getting at!" Sadly, the first group greatly outnumbers the second.
This is a great article. It discusses the morality or lack thereof of political reality, versus idealistic delusions of the western Rules Based Order. By analyzing it this way, Diesen has inadvertently provided a good example of the woke leftist descent into idealistic delusions of FREEDOM! and EQUALITY! as the goals of their reality-free morality.
It should be obvious by now that western governments are infected by the secular Church of Woke Leftism. Wok(/loc)usts rush to destruction in the name of FREEDOM! and EQUALITY! These are pristine, absolute concepts of the mind, that depend on being universally applied. Absolute freedom from self-responsibility, freedom to foist off your insanity on all of society without consequences. Absolute freedom from reality itself, including your DNA. Absolute equality in all things, requiring ceaseless revolution to double-down and destroy all boundaries and limits, to equalize with equity, even though such results are impossible to implement in the real world which exists only because of boundaries and limits.
Does any of that constitute morality? No, it's a fake morality that wokusts, in the throes of their mindless narratives and purity spirals, have forced down the throat of Western Civilization, as they drag it down into destruction.
Russian refugees from the Kursk region are pleading for help, saying, "Our men defended Donbas and we supported the special military operation, Vladimir Vladimirovich, help us reclaim our land." They seem to be experiencing the consequences of their actions.
Video taken near a military airfield in Lipetsk (Russia) burning and detonating after a UAV attack
Local authorities have declared a state of emergency, residents of 4 settlements located near the airfield are being evacuated. Public transport in the city is not running.
Mexico's GDP is comparable to Russia's. Does Mexico get to have a sphere of interests? What metric are you using to determine which countries have spheres of interests? Why doesn't Ukraine enjoy a sphere of interests and get to decide what alliances Russia enters into?
The answer was Vladimir Putin and Russia. You can ask Glenn Diesen if he thought Russia would attack? USA said they were totally sure. Putin and Lavrov denied it and they obviously lied.
Are you sure they lied, they still may not want the war but realism sometimes dictates that you do that which you may not want to do. Besides, we do know that many in the West lied, repeatedly.
In your logic Glenn then NATO should have bombed Belarus when they joined the union with Russia. Why Russia move its borders closer to NATO be expanding towards west?
Nukes in Belarus is an existential threat to Europe and NATO. It should be balanced by moving NATO missiles on the Russian borders.
Belarus never needed to join the union with Russia. They were united all the time. Belarus has many reasons to be friends with Russia. It was explained in a series of 4 videos on YouTube, but YouTube has removed them. About NATO: watch the video with the maps of Europe and Russia to understand that it is NATO that was and is expanding, not Russia. The video is from 2023, in the meantime Sweden has joined NATO as well, and not visible are USA and Canada. www.youtube.com/watch?v=MEwNcpdixes&list=PLDsR5P9Lkw3Odxo_NngIM3IO5Q5sXWs1L&index=3
An existential threat to Europe is Washington, and their provocations in the war with Russia. The war was and is provoked. That has been admitted by Jens Stoltenberg himself. They do that because of the USA/NATO/EU =collective west idealism where is written about in Glenn Diesen's article. The nuclear threat was absent, but unavoidable anymore since NATO/USA/EU do not stop attacking Russia far over the borders,. Russia experiences an existential threat by NATO, because of NATO's, Washington's and EU's abusing the Minsk agreements, a constant expanding, and furthermore even the terrorist attacks in Moscow Crocus (Kiev orchestrated this with the help of USA), the terrorist attacks on Crimea, the sanctions, the Nordstream sabotage, and last but not least: the internal war in Ukraine, in which Kiev is in a war with Donetsk / Donbass, and Ukrainians (!!!) are killed, attacked and live in a constant fear. Ukraine/Kiev dehumanizes the people in that area that they want to keep, while they have attacked the area as one attacks a deeply hated enemy. Why? Washington orders to do so. USA wants its missiles next to the border with Russia and intensify the war with Russia, Russia is rich of resources, as Donetsk is also. But the mainstream media have silenced all the facts and you are clearly a victim of their lies.
If you agree with a NATO immediately next to the border with Russia, then you should wonder why Washington forbids Mexico to have an alliance with China. Think.
The crimes carried out by Ukraine against innocent civilians, including its own citizens, is state policy. Since 2014, the number and types of such crimes have been so egregious, that only a mindless woke leftist could try to gaslight everyone by pretending they don't exist.
About the children's hospital, the Okhmatdet (short for “protection of motherhood and childhood”) medical facility in Kiev: that what happened is analysed as a by Kiev/USA/NATO manipulated "explanation" by keeping essential details away from their news articles or briefings, in order to be able to use it as psychological ammunition in their ideology to continue demonizing Russia, brainwashing the naive audience in the west with this disinformation, fuel their hatred, and to make the NATO summit (9-11 July 2024) a success for NATO, to make the audience believe that sending more weapons to Ukraine is necessary. The by NATO ruled Kiev Regime is a Regime of the Wicked.
Question 1 : Which insane Ukrainian government has agreed with the plans, back in time, to build a military industry factory in a city, in areas, where civilians live, even near to a hospital? Who in Ukraine is responsbile and accountable for THAT?
In the Netherlands it is not even allowed to have a depot for fireworks in an area where civilians live. Do you want to join Europe? At least follow up the human rights rules about locations of war weapon factories.
Question 2 : Which insane Ukrainian government has agreed with building labs for biological war weapons in Ukraine? Is the Ukrainian people informed about this?
The warhead in the AMRAAM which is the missile in the NASAMS is not at all large enough to cause that much damage. It is designed to destroy vulnerable aircraft.
The Patriot Pak3 is even better, it has something like 20 kilo of explosives despite being huge. It probably unfolds some rods with the help of the explosive, and then the whole thing hits the missile they are aiming at.
I think it has 8kg of explosives in it, while also having a self-destruct mechanism. You had to have at least 10 of them hitting at exactly the same time to have received anything close to those injuries. It had barely blown out the panes of the building.
The Russian missile hittlng the children hospital has 400 kilo explosives.
A. You "forgot" to react on the Kiev responsibility, to have a war target in an area where people live. A hospital is not a target. But when the Kiev government agrees to build a war target next to a hospital then Kiev is guilty of exposing danger to their civilians, and those of course in the hospital. The case will be investigated further, but there was material found from Ukrainian air defense. To use air defense in an area where civilians live is exposing their own people to the possible effects of air defense.
Russia’s permanent representative to the UN, Vasily Nebenzia, has accused Ukrainian forces of hitting a children’s hospital with an air defense missile, declaring that if a Russian missile had struck the building, “there would be nothing left.”
B. You write a lot about the details of that what has been used. That is not relevant. Relevant is that Ukraine has participated in endlessly provoking the war (admitted by Stoltenberg), together with his western friends. How many have been killed in Crocus Moscow is forgotten by the west, and you, but there were many more killed than now in Kiev, while it was Kiev itself that has created the effects of using air defense in an area where people live. In a city. This is illegal, using airdefense there is creating exactly that what has happened and if that is not scandalous enough Kiev points to the one that hey have BEGGED factually to start the war, and to do what has happened. The location of the factory is illegal. Russia did not build it there. And since Russia is under severe attack by Kiev, it has the right to stop Ukraine creating what is used by Ukraine to attack targets deep inside Russia. Russia has been patient, since the 90s. IF Kiev would not have been shelling Donetsk, its OWN people, though Russian speaking, there would not have been a damaged hospital. If one teases a bear, and one ignores the warning roaring of the bear, then do not complain when the bear finally attacks you and eventually kills you. Big Boys take their accountability.
C. If Zelensky would not have been forced by Boris Johnson to delete the signed draft of the peace papers in Istanbul, in 2022, the special operation would have been finished in 2022 and would not have escalated in a war, and all who died after, would be still alive. Also Russians died, because defending their country. Kiev is guilty of that. Also: the hospital would not have been damaged, by Ukraine itself, because it seemingly misses the intelligence to think about the consequences of using air defense in an area where people live. Kiev is accountable. Not Russia. Russia has the right AND the DUTY to defend itself. It was agreed: Ukraine neutral. I have explained that in earlier comments.
In that chapter 11 is also a comment that Professor Glenn Diesen has published on Twitter X. The link to the map is to be found there as well. The area that was not really against NATO is the area where Bandera is the most popular. That is of course not a coincidence.
A. The first step to truth is learning the alphabet in order to read words well. Mexico is not allowed to sign any paper to join an alliance, I wrote: with China. Not Russia. But even Russia is not allowed, not any nation is allowed, because the deal is that Mexico will stay neutral. N e u t r a l.
B. Russia has never been and will never be a nazi state, but has been in a war with the German nazis and have lost in that battle 27,000,000 Russians. It was the Red Army that has liberated Europe from Hitler's Nazism. https://backups.blog/photos/
C. Why do you use the children's hospital: your words are a lie. there have been more targets in Ukraine because Kiev was using a school for instance for the military. Russians know and are not to be fooled.
Kiev itself shelled Ukrainians, in Donbass, Donetsk, since 2014, till the present. Ukraine, Kiev, is not Ukraine anymore but American soil to misuse Ukrainians to fight the US war against Russia. You are all misused, Victims of NATO, of Washington. USA celebrated it: "Good: no American bloodshed Great!" All is on the record. Proven.
The 'hundreds of thousands' were Ukrainian nazis, the progenitors of the mindless hatred against Russia we see today. Your historical delusions are the result of absurd narratives floating around in your tiny mind. They effectively comprise a filter that prevents 99% of reality from getting through.
Lex Fridman is a Russian-American computer scientist and podcaster. He is not a historian, he has not studied anything else than computer science. Since I do not consider a podcast, created by an amateur in history as a reliable source, I do not listen. I offered you the historical facts about Ukraine. Evidence based. All reliable sources, because empirically proven reliable.
How about an alliance between Mexico and China? For all realistic intents and purposes, such an alliance already exists. China regularly ships chemicals to Mexico which are the precursors to fentanyl. The drug gangs in Mexico buy the chemicals, make the fentanyl, then smuggle it into the US across an open border, while the Mexican government looks the other way.
For any US administration that actually cared about it's citizens, that stealthy alliance is an existential threat, and deserves invasion of Mexico to stop the drug flow. But the woke leftist government of the US is so filled with hatred against traditional white Americans, that it will just continue its agenda to destroy them.
You are living in fantasyland. Russia decides what NATO provocations are an existential threat, and they don't use whatever rules you feel inclined to offer, as they make such decisions. For example, based upon Russia's criteria, NATO in Ukraine is a threat, but not the three Baltic Chihuahuas. Conversely, since Belarus never left Russia's sphere of influence, it could never realistically be considered an existential threat by NATO, regardless of your fantasy criteria.
The bottom line concerns the well-published remarks of western leaders such as insane Senator Graham. They've repeatedly advertised the west's intentions of splitting up Russia, whereas the Russian Federation has never stated any such intentions toward Europe or America. To anyone not living in fantasyland, the west's mindless utterances certainly constitute an existential threat against a benign foreign power.
The "idealism" Glenn talks about is a fake idealism that serves as pretext for imperial expansion of Western hegemony.

C. Why do you use the children's hospital: your words are a lie. there have been more targets in Ukraine because Kiev was using a school for instance for the military. Russians know and are not to be fooled.
Kiev itself shelled Ukrainians, in Donbass, Donetsk, since 2014, till the present. Ukraine, Kiev, is not Ukraine anymore but American soil to misuse Ukrainians to fight the US war against Russia. You are all misused, Victims of NATO, of Washington. USA celebrated it: "Good: no American bloodshed Great!" All is on the record. Proven.

One of Putin's own early explanations,

Russia is a nazi state and during WW2 hundreds of thousand Russians fought with Hitler and their flag was the Russian tricolor.

The 'hundreds of thousands' were Ukrainian nazis, the progenitors of the mindless hatred against Russia we see today. Your historical delusions are the result of absurd narratives floating around in your tiny mind. They effectively comprise a filter that prevents 99% of reality from getting through.
If you wanna learn Ukrainian history you should listen to Lex Fridman podcast https://youtu.be/qa-wl8_wpZA?si=3oMTfQGSWAFlIRqT
Lex Fridman is a Russian-American computer scientist and podcaster. He is not a historian, he has not studied anything else than computer science. Since I do not consider a podcast, created by an amateur in history as a reliable source, I do not listen. I offered you the historical facts about Ukraine. Evidence based. All reliable sources, because empirically proven reliable.
How about an alliance between Mexico and China? For all realistic intents and purposes, such an alliance already exists. China regularly ships chemicals to Mexico which are the precursors to fentanyl. The drug gangs in Mexico buy the chemicals, make the fentanyl, then smuggle it into the US across an open border, while the Mexican government looks the other way.
For any US administration that actually cared about it's citizens, that stealthy alliance is an existential threat, and deserves invasion of Mexico to stop the drug flow. But the woke leftist government of the US is so filled with hatred against traditional white Americans, that it will just continue its agenda to destroy them.
You are living in fantasyland. Russia decides what NATO provocations are an existential threat, and they don't use whatever rules you feel inclined to offer, as they make such decisions. For example, based upon Russia's criteria, NATO in Ukraine is a threat, but not the three Baltic Chihuahuas. Conversely, since Belarus never left Russia's sphere of influence, it could never realistically be considered an existential threat by NATO, regardless of your fantasy criteria.
The bottom line concerns the well-published remarks of western leaders such as insane Senator Graham. They've repeatedly advertised the west's intentions of splitting up Russia, whereas the Russian Federation has never stated any such intentions toward Europe or America. To anyone not living in fantasyland, the west's mindless utterances certainly constitute an existential threat against a benign foreign power.
