    Congrats to Sweden on their ever increasing austerity measures so they can keep up with NATO's increasing demands for bigger military budgets🥰

      Didn’t someone else post a headline here just today that Sweden is cutting science spending to spend more on the military? Love to lose my job when my grant gets cancelled to pay for one part of one wing of a fighter jet that can’t fly in the rain.

      As if the government needed an excuse to continue austerity. Military budget will get a mild increase and they'll cut funding for arts in order to finance lowering taxes for the higher tax brackets.

    Every country that joins NATO is going to make the inevitable next intra-continental European war that much funnier.

    Chinese scholars are going to be writing enormous multi-volume texts about how white people are incapable of learning from history and building whole theories around the propensity to self-immolate due to these ill-conceived military confederacies.

      I like him when he’s making fun of car-brains or Elon Musk but imagine saying “Yay more NATO” and considering yourself on the left

        It's especially obnoxious because he obviously has some city planning / civil-engineering knowledge and has made good content about that, but he's spun out from that into this self-styled geo-politics / war expert, and his content on that has been the absolute drizzling shits.

          city planning / civil-engineering knowledge

          I read somewhere (possibly here on hexbear, don't remember) that all that "knowledge" was basically just copy/pasted from a couple of other smaller creators. There was apparently a pattern of all his takes mysteriously appearing a week or two after they made the exact same takes lol

      I'm still baffled by Contra calling Mao a "strongman", but I think it's just that I'm familiar with Contra and not with AN besides what gets posted here.

        I haven't watch many of his videos since his guest appearance on Well there's your problem where he did the "Soviets were red fash" for large portions of the episode with barely any pushback. I'm pretty sure there were a few posts on here from his Twitter where he was defending/propping up Azov and other right wing paramilitaries of the past.

        He thinks nuclear war is good actually, and that while it would be unfortunate and result in a lot of innocent deaths, humanity would ultimately survive and liberal democracies would flourish while Bad Countries were destroyed, making the world a better place in the end.

        Well for one he has said that the Soviets were worse than the Nazis, which is a form of Holocaust denial. That's when I unsubscribed from his channel and realized he was a huge piece of shit.

    It’s one thing to want to be part of NATO, but it’s another thing to be so cocky about it lol. It’s like a kid who brags about his brother being able to beat you up or his daddy will sue you. Like, great, but can YOU do anything?

    more control of the Baltic Sea

    Azov Something thinks this is a good result in exchange for hundreds of thousands of dead Ukrainians... yet what is the actual material benefit unless they are willing to enforce a naval blockade against a nuclear power

    Euro liberals hate when I call them America worshippers but this guy was posting US memes like "You'll see why we don't have Universal Healthcare" in response to Russia. Absolute clown who thinks he's smarter than he actually is because he picked on the low-hanging fruits of Elon Musk and Dubai during a time when they were already getting pushback. Truly a revolutionary of the times. Such courage.
