  • Idk about “leftist” as it’s outside of the Western framework but Shahid Bolsen’s rants/lectures are very informative and revitalising! He’s a loud spoken anti-imperialist political analyst like many others, the difference being that he takes God into account in his analysis. Just don’t look too deep into his past and certainly take any video regarding the UAE with a grain of salt, lol, as he might be a bit biased (compromised might be a better word, but nobody’s perfect 🤷).

    You can find him on YT, the channel’s called “Middle Nation”.




  • Since ATLA was already posted (what a show, truly a pearl of Western animation), I’ll say YuYu Hakusho. Yeah, it’s a bit slow and repetitive but the emotional highs and lows still hit, and the animation and writing is still much better than much of what we have today. Also, seeing Yusuke’s very real struggle (broken home, missing dad, alcoholic mom, feeling utterly pointless) still makes me feel strong feelings…



  • First of all, sorry for the long, rambling reply!

    I agree that most people worldwide will probably not transgress in heinous ways but there’s certainly a “collapse” to happen on the Day of Judgment, and we will find out which threshold we crossed with our acts (this is the framework at least a quarter of the world is working on, more or less, and mine too ofc)… evidently, we’re not God so we cannot fully account for everyone’s deeds or even fully comprehend the scale on which to place them but in our day to day lives we usually understand some people are lovely to be around and boons for everyone and others are selfish and immoral to wicked and despicable and we spend our time with them/avoid them accordingly. We can avoid the hard categories “good” and “bad”, but IRL we do classify people in groups of “good enough to have in your life” and “bad enough to avoid” and, whilst some people are just difficult and mentally not ok/intellectually challenged but spiritually/ethically ‘on the right track’, others just show complete disregard for everyone else and are aware of it, they just simply don’t care…

    TLDR: There is such a thing as a “good” and “bad” people, even accounting for ignorance, stupidity and mental instability, and we can tell them apart by their objectively good and bad decisions and takes on those decisions (ethically speaking, ofc)… we just can’t make a final judgment on it. We know the direction these things go but we don’t know the equation on the scales nor have the computing power to figure it out. 🤷







  • America is fighting too many wars globally to fully commit to arming Ukraine and biting a chunk out of Russia before/so things calm down. How are they gonna stand without the country that props them up? European leaders (speaking for European weapon manufacturers and related industries) know this too and are already preparing their population to consent to war with Russia and to fight it as well. I think Europe will become a bigger warzone than it is today by 2035 tops, probably 2030…
