    I’ve just never enjoyed his content tbh. He also encourages faith in American electoralism to an extent that makes me uncomfortable and participates in drama slop too much for me to enjoy.

    I know that last bit may seems strange considering what I have posted but I generally do not directly consume internet drama. I have never seen anything from the channels of either of these people. I just hear about it from other people and go, haha funny.

    Hasan (left) and Vaush (right). They are streamers and you kinda have to be terminally online to get the joke. Hasan was recently accused of electrocuting his dog on stream, though without much evidence, and Vaush is allegedly into zoophilia











  • Its a reference to how the balkan peninsula, specifically former yugoslavia, was broken into a multitude of weaker independant states primarily by exploiting ethnic tensions. This allowed western capital to exert significant influence on the political-economy of these countries in a way they could not when they were united. As these new states fought eachother and destroyed themselves foreign capitalist bought up their economies and to this day remain significant employers in the region; allowing them to extract wealth they couldn’t have without balkanization and the violence that came with it.

    It essentially boils down to the divide and conquer strategy. I honestly don’t believe the west is currently capable of accomplishing this in Russia no matter the outcome of the Ukraine war. The Balkans have a history of nationalist movements and a dense diversity of cultures that made them much more vulnerable to this strategy than modern Russia would be.
