@Martposting "The Faustian soul -whose being consists in the overcoming of presence, whose feeling is loneliness and whose yearning is infinity- puts its need of solitude, distance and abstraction into all its actualities, into its public life, its spiritual and artistic form-worlds alike".

@denisyurchak If you ever visited Amsterdam before the 2010's you would realize this was the right move. Amsterdam is a gorgeous city but was infested with cheap filthy tourism that depreciated its value. Now it aims for the quality it deserves. If you can't afford it, good for AMS.

Planning an Amsterdam trip with gf Airbnbs are mostly banned so you get subpar and expensive hotels (min 200€ per night for 2 stars, and under 20 variants left for the whole city at this price) The Netherlands has an extremely high airport tax, so no low-costers as well Flight prices from other cities in Europe start at 300€ So a weekend trip now costs 500€ min Thanks to leftist policies, you need to be a millionaire in Europe to afford life here

@GroovySciFi Great example of "Good Intentions through Terrible Ideas".

Non-EU passport holders should have to pay €300 to enter Italy. Would filter out the cheapo travelers who take up space and barely buy anything.

@binyaameengori @PaulSkallas This is spot on. When everyone has the same photo at the same place doing the same gesture is no longer a status experience but a sign of very low IQ. Absolute devaluation.

What happens when everyone starts posting receipts of their experiences? High supply of experience receipts ruins the value of it. High coded now is countering those receipts through authenticity. Displaying receipts of competence and agency rather than little country flag circles on IG. Men moving like women. Hilarious.

Money people always had one advantage over pleasure people, numbers. You can show money. You can’t show experience. So they could always say you wasted your life. Then cameras and Instagram arrived. Now experience has reciepts. Photos became currency. You can show them and say here look I didn't waste anything. And the public ended up recognizing it.

@eugyppius1 Same as in France. Some think-tanks blame the mismanagement on the Euro, as it stimulated total irresponsibility, turning politicians into kids with the money-printing machine. As the pension weight grows due demog and the deficit looks grim, their only answer is more taxes.

Germany is succumbing to tax death spirals in multiple areas. The government raises taxes, businesses leave, revenues fall, they respond by raising taxes still further, and still further businesses leave, and so they raise taxes even more, only to have more businesses leave.

@PaulSkallas It would spark a giga inflation spike and everyone would be in the same situation after a year. Good intentions through bad ideas.

If the EU seized Norwegian oil and used it to give every citizen 1k euros a month. It would probably just make everyone happy and they'd stop complaining

Europeans are fine. They could maybe have 1,500 more euros a month and it'd be perfect. Just need a little bit more money. Not much though.

@UBERSOY1 Respect to his mom. You can see her parental pride in watching the boy being the best in the world at something.

Grisha's mom came to congratulate him over his TOTAL and HISTORIC victory against 7 powerful nafoids

@IterIntellectus I have 3 girls and a boy. Totally different experience. Instinctively I'm tougher with the boy (I also play with him more physical games that I don't with the girls). My duty is to prepare and toughen him for an unforgiving world, but I don't get the same reflex with the girls.

this is what happens when you live in a matriarchy and women have much more privilege then men

@kunley_drukpa In Sao Paulo you will end up meeting some girl named like Adriana Kawaski, who's half Japanese half Lebanese but with brazilian attitude and flair. 20 years will pass and you'll still remember that night after an argument with your wife.

RIO DE JANEIRO VS SÃO PAULO AND THE SOUL OF BRAZIL 🇧🇷 Multiple people from São Paulo made versions of this complaint to me - “foreigners equate the culture of Rio de Janeiro with the culture of the entirety of Brazil - this needs to stop this makes us look unserious.” São Paulo and Rio de Janeiro are the two main cultural and economic hubs of Brazil - their rivalry is interesting because it gets at the kinds of visions competing to define Brazil’s future “Carioca [term for people from Rio] culture is frivolous, it’s conceited, it’s vain, it’s people who try to scam you all the time, who turn up to meetings an hour late (provided they don’t just flake,) who can’t go two days without cheating on their partner” “Brazilian culture isn’t just beach volleyball, mais que nada boppy bossa nova and shaking your ass or groping people at carnival, we have to pull ourselves out from this neverending masturbatory self-indulgence over faded glories from the 60s. Rio is a dump nowadays, let’s get a grip - we could be so much more than performing monkeys for the gringos” Then you might get; “we Paulistas [term for people from São Paulo] are far more serious, we carry this country economically. Brazil as a state wouldn’t be able to function on the level it does without this city, it would otherwise be just another Latin American shithole. Not to mention our ‘high culture’ is better, we’re more literate, more articulate, more worldly” Kind of buy this though also have to say sorry but there is a reason why foreigners think of Brazil as just Rio and the Amazon. Big boobed women on the beach is very attractive vision for a country. São Paulo is the biggest metropolis in Latin America but (the Carioca criticism goes) it’s so boring and nondescript the rest of the world barely even knows it exists Response from Cariocas is something like;“how can a city that large be so uninteresting, São Paulo puts you to sleep. Nice bars and restaurants but that’s it. Not a place to build any sense of national identity from, there’s no energy there, the cultural vision is very boring and people are never really going to care about you, sorry” “You go to clubs and take acid and you think you’re New York or Berlin but you’re not you’re a boring, downstream, second-rate concrete jungle. You’re not a beautiful city, not effortlessly cool like us. Also people there turn up late all the time they’re not as serious as they think they are don’t kid yourselves!” Both make good points actually, very ‘Apollonian and Dionysian’! You have to assume more thirdworldification doesn’t just win out here though

@KILLTOPARTY I had a gf like that in my 20's. Dumb as fuck but hot, kind and sweet. Lasted 4 years mostly because sex was insane, but as I was reaching my 30's I really felt the need for some intellect-peer connection and pussy diversity so that was it.

Lobster too buttery, wine too refined

@Babygravy9 I seriously think that the only way Ukraine will be able to repay the loans and arms supplies from Europe after the war will be to take all the migroids to "repopulate" the country and "revitalize" the economy. A sad turn of events but nothing is for free in this world.

This will be Ukraine too, when the war is over, and Russia as well. A couple of years ago a Ukrainian government minister said the country would need 8 million migrants to make up for labour shortages as a result of the war. Grim.

@samisa You can blame the migroids for insecurity and general shitness in the big cities. But they did not shut down the nuclear plants nor put in place an absurd welfare (they just take advantage of it, as many locals). It was done by Germans.

the irony of this spineless cuck making a 37-minute "brutally honest review" on why Germany has become a shithole without once mentioning immigration and instead blaming it all on energy prices and high taxes tells you everything you need to know about why Germany is going to zero. they'll literally leave the country before they admit why.

@cljack Heterosexual Women with male-wired brains are insanely attractive as they shine among peers. They are commonly found among single-girl with a lot of brothers or as the daddy's girl of a gigachad.

My daughter is a more male-brained girl at an all-girls school and it’s very funny to watch her recreate all of men’s minor annoyances about women from first principles

@BrankoMilan I understand your point but this is basically attempting the Kentler Experiment on an international basis. The small chance of success is not worth the massive risks and long term consequences.

People totally misunderstand the point. The only way to bring Israel to sense and make it stop waging endless wars that eventually might become nuclear is to: 1 Accept it is a Great Power by virtue of its nuclear arsenal & constant use of war. 2 Negotiate reduction of that arsenal as part of the same negotiations that are going on with Iran. 3 Urge/oblige it to observe Geneva convention. 4 And thus make Israel accept a more responsible role in the world as quid pro quo for recognition of its de facto being a Great Power.

@eugyppius1 Great video btw. When you know that the Leopards 2's engine is somehow going to end up in uncle Laszlo's RV.

“invaluable contributions” lol

@BrankoMilan One of the aspects I really love from Tarkovsky's films is how he alternates monochrome and color, using pigmentation as another narrative layer, as the Master he was. Btw all of his soviet era films are available for free in YT, courtesy of the Mosfilm channel.

I cannot fully understand this. There is no doubt in my mind that black-and-white movies are more powerful than color movies. But while the film is going on, I simply do not notice it. It is only when it is over and I think of it that I realize that black-and-white is stronger. Yet why would less information be better than more?

@eugyppius1 What I find frustrating is the fact that if a Dem wins the next US election, Europaths will run in line to kiss ass again, as if nothing ever happened and all of this was just another misunderstanding. Like they did in 2021. Full on retards.

More than anything else, Trump hates countries in the NATO alliance, so to get on Trump's good side all anyone has to do is leave NATO, then he'll be fine with it. Spain denies airspace to US: huge problem because Spain is in NATO. Austria does same: nbd, not in NATO.

@BurrellInes @pegobry_en In order to be sold you need to be owned by someone before. I'm all in for you to be free and play Rambo by yourselves, just don't bring us into that retarded game.

@KallPvls @pegobry_en Attaboy! Feed others to the crocodile as long as you can have a croissant and coffee for breakfast. You do realise we will cut anybody's throat who will try to sell us to russians again, right? This time we will not go quietly. We paid for your 50 years of peace with our blood.

The irony with all this is that the reason there’s a rift between Europe and Russia is because of US policy. Europe-Russia is a much more natural alliance in many ways than Europe-US. This shit is so tiresome

@BurrellInes @pegobry_en In a way yes. Eastern Europe loyalties are absolutely transactional depending on who they perceive as an immediate threat. Western Europe's biggest blunder was to fall into Eastern parochialism and narrow foreign policy objectives instead of aiming for the Big Game.

@KallPvls @pegobry_en If only there was not that pesky little thing called Eastern Europe that refuses to spread itself under the russian boot.

@BrankoMilan 1998 France and 2006 Italy are missed there.
