Pepe reposted an article to his tgram channel with some comments:
That article's analysis is that the British elite hate Russia because the Putin government displaced Rothchild-aligned Jewish oligarchs who took control of post-soviet Russia, and that "the Rothchilds are as British as 5 o'clock tea". Laughable tripe if you ask me. So in addition to being sensational, he seems to also some combination of an uncritical dupe, an actual moron, or a reactionary.

Also I don't mean to say pepe should be dismissed out of hand. He travels a lot and seems to talk to lots of ppl and so surfaces interesting stuff from time to time.

Would be interesting to get an understanding of the income distribution at Huawei, or at least the median comp. Without it, it's hard to say whether Huawei is better than a company like Amazon with an aristocratic techbro echelon and a huge number of warehouse slaves, which still may work out to have a high average comp.
The Will to Change by bell hooks. I'm bringing it to a book club.
If a person has good geopolitical analysis and shitty takes on domestic politics and trans issues, does that invalidate their geopolitical analysis?
In my experience, few people (if any) have the correct positions on everything. This used to really bother me. I try now to just pick and choose sources according to how their opinions in their domain of expertise aligns with my values and knowledge. For example, I've gotten a lot of useful info and analysis out of the Duran people--a lot of their analysis and predictions regarding their us/Russia Ukraine proxy war has turned out to be correct despite them being paleocons and having bad takes on social issues.

Rugrats holds up, I swear. It's super creative and funny. One of my favorite parts is that the babies, being babies, don't understand what a lot of words mean, misuse them, and mispronounce them. Really cute and hilarious.
