@@Badookum "Modern Russia". You mean St Petersburg and Moscow. Look at places like Nizhny Novgorod, Chelyabinsk and Omsk.

Yes the quality of life has improved since the fall of the USSR but that's not a particularly high bar to clear.
@therealspeedwagon1451 I'm on just about every pro-Ukraine chanell there is every day and never.. (ehm, i think once at the very start of the fullscale war seen someone questioned) have seen such accusations. Who knows Z-patriots knows how their Z-logos (or names) look like. For activists this matters, because you want to know who you're looking at sometimes. Accusing someone of being Zombie (one way to translate it) just because their name starts with Z is just low IQ or paranoia though. However asking why someone wears a giant Z pendant is legit if that person doesn't make their views clear or worse (i forgot which pop-star had it done after 2022, but apparently did not know the new symbolism so it's cool), while i myself would not ask about that (maybe their geo/political views if i was curious). Just got to admit that if you have an intricately designed logo or pfp with Z in it, you should understand why someone might be curious why its there, depending what circles you interact with online. Like if you'd go to a FreePalestine rally with a David star or Bar Mitzva with a HAMAS bandana or watermelon sign.. well, tbh for most "Eastern" Europeans it is already equal to a full swastica in the right context, but most likely reaction to an unmistakeable Z will be ridicule. If it's a genuine Z-patriot, you can tell just about all the political opinions of that person before asking, funny how that works. After all, before 1930's Swastica was one of the most popular ancient sacred pictograms for countless cultures (especially in Baltics, all the way to India and beyond) symbolising anything from luck, fertility, longevity, protection, fire, Thunder God and Sun. Russian state propaganda still remotely finds examples of it (mostly other variants like Sauwastica and complex branching crosses) in our pagan decorations and make a "Nazi" furor out of it. As one of the most popular and "powerful" symbols ever, it has been forever corrupted by Hitler whichever way the arms point. Meanwhile beyond Zorro and some gangs, Z also has a new, corrupt and often misunderstood meaning, so someone is bound to be curious. I still subliminally notice the Z's after seeing them too many times in the worst possible moments in Europe since WW2, but judge people by what they say or do and never been confused by simple signs. Especially if the sign says "ZOV" burning on a black background..😅
He was never good, and he was always a bit weird but over the last 10ish years he's definitely gotten MORE weird. Because at this point he's made up so many lies the only people who will take him seriously are those people in those very weird bubbles.
What did he think was likely to happen, especially given his pro-Russian stance on the conflict already being an iffy subject considering where he was? I didn’t know all these details about what led to his demise previously, which is why I’m a lot less sympathetic towards him now after finding all this out given he was basically asking for trouble at that point.

@Silver_Prussian Yea, i see what you did here, genocidal fascistbot. It's called a false equivalence, actually a whole load of them jumbled together. _*Account i'm replying to^^ is in digital "Mossad" files pending an investigation wether it's a real "western" person - similar to the first one in this video - or another very active, paid kremlinbot._ Sometime ago i bet on the latter, but now it doesn't matter anymore to me, they do the same job with the same consequences (breakdown for everyone interested on request). For anyone who doesn't get why this predictability equivalence is false - see, Gonzalo has not been murdered from none of the evidence and pure logic, he had a full autopsy and report on his death, which his own family who screamed and cried at the time accepted and doesn't challange anymore. Unlike just about all 'oppositioners', who were actually murdered by professionals, with the most cynical taking piss of Navalny by attributing a "sudden death syndrome" and hiding his body from family. Nobody - and i mean nobody with over a few brain neurons, especially in Rusdia - doesn't doubt that he and hundreds of others (not only political opposition like Nemtsov but journalists and all inconvenient figures) were murdered by Kremlin's long hands. We even know their units and operatives. Not only they don't hide it, they want all opposition to know it (with sham public international deniability for fools), to fear stepping out of line or staying in Russia. Meanwhile in Ukraine the only opposition made illegal is that fronted by other Kremlin's puppets and directed from Russia, who are one of the main root causes of this war, ask any Ukrainian why. And none of them are plausibly murdered. Many showed their full hand by literaly running to their master and arch enemy in Kremlin both in 2014 and 2022 because it started the war. Treason is still a crime, even if not punished by death by Ukraine. Other thing is, none of the murdered or jailed Putin's 'opposition' heads have done literal military espionage for the attacking enemy at war or pumped out agressor-manufactured disinformation informational warfare (like Kremlin's black-propaganda) on Russia's territory. They did not have the chance, because they don't have to justify the war. Unlike Gonzo who is not only a dirty fascist propagandist, but an actual combattant snitch who tried (and likely succeeded) to get Ukrainian forces killed and defeated. That's actual physical participation in genocide against Ukrainians in the most stupid public display to date. I say "are", because we'll never forget what that scum did and he will forever remain a war criminal for all to curse and spit on, otherwise the deaths of his master's victims will never be redeemed. That will happen to everyone like him, we'll make sure they don't go unpunished. Hiwever physically neither him nor other juvenile idiots who receive FSB/GRU grooming trough social media to set fire to AFU vehicles and other sabotages (still less heinous crimes that what Gonzo was doing) have been killed or tortured for informarion or pleasure, a thing that Russian AF are systematically experts on. Not only Gonzo was let off with a curfew house arrest, he kept actively fighting on Russia's behalf and apparently breaking the law in wartime, repeatedly, publically, showinistically, on purpose. If he was done like russian propagandist baselessly claim, it would be just sauf for making him a disgusting false martyr, which he certainly was not. Still, he and likes of him better not come across me or anyone else from the region who knows what's up. He is a war criminal complicit in genocide and i'll be on them for the rest of my life, still hoping for a karma to do its job just like with this specimen. Don't want to be condescendent, but judging by majority of comments audience of this chanell is too naïve about the topics of hybrid warfare and evidently barely have a clue what's going on. There is no two sides if one side is both very similar and in some ways worse than ex.g. most Na Cs ever were (for many reasons this subjective comparison fits better than the original attempt). Includes the author of question i somehow got bited in replying to.
@Silver_PrussianThat’s just not the same scenario at all. If you ACTIVELY filmed positions of Russian soldiers in the Donbas no shit you’d get arrested. And if you do that expecting to not get arrested then for once; Russia would actually have a reasonable reason to arrest you.
Like all people with large or lots of tattoos, especially face obviously but same deal with full sleeves etc. It just becomes like being covered in camo paint, looks like living equivalent of scribbled public toilet wall. I can't wait for this dumb trend to finally end, but entire society is in denial because of sunk cost fallacy - nobody wants to be first to admit they regret what they did to their bodies.
One other thing about Gonzalo is that he rebanded to a pro russian podcast called the Roundtable. One day he hosted a debate with streamer Destiny and a small youtuber (at the time) called LazerPig. Destiny left after an hour due to Gonzalo acting in bad faith but Lazerpig stayed there and debated him for another 2 hours while gradually getting drunk and Gonzalo slowly losing his shit and insulting him until he kicked Lazerpig out of the stream. His weekly viewers tanked after the debate and never recovered.

Just so you’re aware, the Iron Cross isn’t a not-see symbol. It was used by Germany even before WWI. The country still uses it today because of this fact. Just wanted to point that out because you had sort of insinuated that it was a not-see symbol at that part of the video. 4:30
thats technically true, but still it is viewed with suspicion in Germany when used outside its military context, and if I saw someone with an iron cross tattoo I would immediately assume they were extreme right
@@galador8089You mean like all the guys in the AFU with those exact tattoos? How about the sun wheels and death heads? I mean, if you’re going to be so strict on these symbols, apply it equally.
@@chrisporter9397 And who says he doesn't? Being German, the guy is spot on. Yes, it's a current military symbol, but only right-wing extremists and neonazis run around showing it off in an idolizing fashion in Germany.
That’s the thing. It’s got meaning for both types of people. But looking at that guy I doubt he’s a fan of German military insignia history, except for a certain time period.
@@galador8089 agreed. Which is unfortunate. But it’s still an important distinction to make that officially it is a military symbol, but unofficially it is misused by hateful people.
Depends on what he wants to "conserve". The majority of Russia has been Orthodox (or at least culturally Orthodox) for the past 1000 years. Maybe he wants to "conserve"/restore Slavic paganism from before the baptism of Kievan Rus'?
Bold of you to assume he HAS beliefs. He gets uncomfortable when he sees a person who isn't white and straight, and calls that a political ideology. Or at least he would if he knew what ideology meant
@CzarLazar1389 This is a man who's so utterly useless, the Russians couldn't figure out what to do with him other than giving him a set of clippers and having him shave heads. You're giving him too much credit by assuming he knows literally any history
24:43 About Bald and Bankrupt, he seems like a cool guy on the surface but once you realise he only goes to impoverished countries and has made numerous posts on dating websites you realise what kind of a person he really is...
He's a predator and, I'm pretty sure, a Russian asset too. I watched some of his videos when he visited my country. The lines between "appreciating" Soviet architecture and way of life and buying into the tales of Soviet utopia are so blurred they're almost nonexistent.
Seems like he doesnt really know wtf he is talking about but hey I am not gonna blame everyone wants to get piece of the sweet algorithm pie made out of the delicious ,, russia bad" fruit. He is little late to the party though cause the time for that was 2 years ago, man has he missed the train.
I find it ironic how the dude with all kinds of tattoos on every part of his body is calling anyone who doesn’t fall in line with his warped right-wing ideology a “degenerate” but what do I know I’m a left leaning person so my opinion probably doesn’t matter to him.
I don't even consider myself a left leaning person and I genuinely don't know how that guy can get up every morning, look at himself in the mirror, and go "yeah, I'm the picturesque right winger, the perfect specimen of all things righteous and holy in this world!" and not realize the irony in his ideas
The worst people on any side of politics also tend to be the biggest hypocrites because deep down inside they really hate themselves and this is their way of coping.
As right winger idk why a guy with full body tattoos and percings is judging others as degenerate. Like Jesus Christ talk about throwing stones from a glass house
I think the fact it has 1939 on the ring he's wearing is funny for that reason, like he has deniability without that date but he needs to specify it's that year

I'm surprised you missed Gonzalo Lira's Roundtable, where he would just spout lies about Ukraine and Russia with other Vatniks. There's a great one where he debated Lazerpig and literally lost half his followers afterwards. It's such a great trainwreck that I'm genuinly surprised it wasn't mentioned here.
He also tried to doxx journalists, if I remember correctly. And then one of those journalists, Sarah Ashton-Cirillo, testified against him and got him convicted. She also visited him in prison and said he was fine.
@@DavidNaval The drunk scotsman casually getting drunk on 7 bottles whilst Lira frantically smokes 2 packs worth of ciggarettes because he can't deal with the sheer power of the pig.
That was such a hilarious trainwreck. Lazerpig tries to actually debate but once Gonzalo keeps being belligerent and rude and not wanting to debate but win the argument, Lazer just gets drunk and trolls him to the end until he ragequits.
They don't do that for a reason. If they truly let steven segal unleash his power there would be no Ukraine left to conquer. I don't mean like just the people and cities either, he would leave a fucking lake where the country was

what about that texan who moved to russia called russell bentley, he went to go fight in the war for russia and ended up getting tortured and killed by Russian soldiers who thought he was a spy
The reason why putin prefers clowns like Seagal over people who genuinely love Russia is that the entire putin’s regime is built on the fear of smart and initiative personalities. Initiative often goes along with intelligence and critical thinking. Such people will ask questions and criticize the existing order of things. Take a look at Prigozhin’s story - hardcore Russian patriot and, moreover, self-proclaimed putin’s loyal ally. He started a coup because of his initiative and sincere love for the homeland. People like putin, a man who worked most of his life as a petty official for the KGB, don't like that. They like to control everything and everyone, to be the biggest fish in the tank. That's why he surrounds himself with idiots whose desires are limited to a hearty lunch at a fancy restaurant and a nice villa in Italy. Initiative people are strong people. And putin is afraid of strong people. Russia does not like to shoot itself at its own foot. It is putin who shoots Russia at its foot so that it would be submissive and obediently do his bidding.
Great point. Putin has basically purged Russia of genuine patriots that are willing to risk their lives to better their nation. He is an entirely parasitic entity, enriching himself off of the blood, sweat, and tears of the Russian populace. The cult of personality built up around him is like a form of widespread Stockholm Syndrome, like prisoners coming to deify their warden. It is perplexing to me why no fans of Putin ever seem to ask themselves how a KGB and FSB agent entered office a reasonably well-off but not extravagantly rich man in 1999, but then rapidly became a billionaire who rivals the West's most notable banking, media, and tech moguls in wealthiness. I suppose the true purpose of a cult of personality is to block thoughts like that and replace them with a sort of parasocial relationship, whereby the masses can attribute whatever qualities they want an ideal leader to have to the autocrat in question. The subject of a cult of personality is not the man himself, nor his traits and actions as leader, but rather an idealized figure who is imagined in place of the actual ruler. If fans of Putin were forced to recognize the genuine track record of that murderous little gremlin, they would almost certainly detest him, but vatniks never think about Putin in a critical manner like that, instead he's more of a symbol, a messianic figure who, in their minds, stands as the champion of Christian values, making Russia a bulwark against the degenerate Satanism of the postmodern West. The irony surrounding such a concept is thick enough to cut with a knife. Imagine believing that a former KGB agent conveniently found God right when the USSR collapsed and his career took a turn towards politics in a country where Eastern Orthodoxy was making a comeback. Putin only ever shows up for church on Christmas and Easter for press junkets, and even then there's a good chance it's a body double, as we've seen how paranoid the real Putin is about meeting with people even inside the Kremlin, so I doubt he actually goes out in public to meet with the plebs. The naivety of the fans of Putin and his invasion of Ukraine never ceases to amaze me.

He wasn't leaking any military info. Coach was just talking shit about Ukrainians within ukraine. He used the term media pig, and if you know about Ukraine, the word Pig is a big deal there. His pro russia stance is also literally illegal there. This is a really disappointing video to see because it shows that GhostGum has barely bothered to do any research.

@@BackPalSA "He wasn't leaking any military info. Coach was just talking shit about Ukrainians within ukraine." You got anything to back up that claim?
@@AckReikTheGreatest07 How about the charge he was arrested for? He was charged for “spreading Russian disinformation”, not leaking any information.

In Grad school in 2015, I knew a 5'10" Russian model. She escaped from there and moved to the US with her young daughter and got citizenship and was working on getting her undergrad degree. She had nothing but negative things to say about Russia and praised the US as the greatest country in the world, even with all its political stupidity. She was more of an American patriot than most left-leaning Americans. So hearing it from a Russian, I don't think its a good country.

I hope one day there can be peace. Russia is failing its people because their government care more about imperial conquest of other countries such as Ukraine and Georgia than the safety and prosperity of their own citizens.

It may not have been invented by them, but they used it at great length. They didn't invent the swastika either, but show a Westerner it and ask them what they think of.

It's called Ehrenkreuz (honor cross) today, but it's the same shape. And it is still the symbol of our military, together with the more modern Balkenkreuz. It has nothing to do with NS ideology.

@BlaineCraner , Merry Christmas to you too, ya filthy animal. And a Happy New Year.
Now you can’t even be named Zack on the internet with a default pfp without people accusing you of being pro Russian.
@therealspeedwagon1451
I'm on just about every pro-Ukraine chanell there is every day and never.. (ehm, i think once at the very start of the fullscale war seen someone questioned) have seen such accusations. Who knows Z-patriots knows how their Z-logos (or names) look like. For activists this matters, because you want to know who you're looking at sometimes. Accusing someone of being Zombie (one way to translate it) just because their name starts with Z is just low IQ or paranoia though. However asking why someone wears a giant Z pendant is legit if that person doesn't make their views clear or worse (i forgot which pop-star had it done after 2022, but apparently did not know the new symbolism so it's cool), while i myself would not ask about that (maybe their geo/political views if i was curious).
Just got to admit that if you have an intricately designed logo or pfp with Z in it, you should understand why someone might be curious why its there, depending what circles you interact with online. Like if you'd go to a FreePalestine rally with a David star or Bar Mitzva with a HAMAS bandana or watermelon sign.. well, tbh for most "Eastern" Europeans it is already equal to a full swastica in the right context, but most likely reaction to an unmistakeable Z will be ridicule. If it's a genuine Z-patriot, you can tell just about all the political opinions of that person before asking, funny how that works.
After all, before 1930's Swastica was one of the most popular ancient sacred pictograms for countless cultures (especially in Baltics, all the way to India and beyond) symbolising anything from luck, fertility, longevity, protection, fire, Thunder God and Sun. Russian state propaganda still remotely finds examples of it (mostly other variants like Sauwastica and complex branching crosses) in our pagan decorations and make a "Nazi" furor out of it. As one of the most popular and "powerful" symbols ever, it has been forever corrupted by Hitler whichever way the arms point. Meanwhile beyond Zorro and some gangs, Z also has a new, corrupt and often misunderstood meaning, so someone is bound to be curious. I still subliminally notice the Z's after seeing them too many times in the worst possible moments in Europe since WW2, but judge people by what they say or do and never been confused by simple signs. Especially if the sign says "ZOV" burning on a black background..😅

He was never good, and he was always a bit weird but over the last 10ish years he's definitely gotten MORE weird. Because at this point he's made up so many lies the only people who will take him seriously are those people in those very weird bubbles.

the thing was he was just involved with better movies which in turn made people he was actually an actor when in fact he is not. like at all
You kind of let it slide by. Gonzalo's last arrest happened because while on parole he LIVESTREAMED his attempt to escape the country.
What did he think was likely to happen, especially given his pro-Russian stance on the conflict already being an iffy subject considering where he was?

@Silver_Prussian
Yea, i see what you did here, genocidal fascistbot. It's called a false equivalence, actually a whole load of them jumbled together.
_*Account i'm replying to^^ is in digital "Mossad" files pending an investigation wether it's a real "western" person - similar to the first one in this video - or another very active, paid kremlinbot._ Sometime ago i bet on the latter, but now it doesn't matter anymore to me, they do the same job with the same consequences (breakdown for everyone interested on request).
For anyone who doesn't get why this predictability equivalence is false - see, Gonzalo has not been murdered from none of the evidence and pure logic, he had a full autopsy and report on his death, which his own family who screamed and cried at the time accepted and doesn't challange anymore. Unlike just about all 'oppositioners', who were actually murdered by professionals, with the most cynical taking piss of Navalny by attributing a "sudden death syndrome" and hiding his body from family. Nobody - and i mean nobody with over a few brain neurons, especially in Rusdia - doesn't doubt that he and hundreds of others (not only political opposition like Nemtsov but journalists and all inconvenient figures) were murdered by Kremlin's long hands. We even know their units and operatives. Not only they don't hide it, they want all opposition to know it (with sham public international deniability for fools), to fear stepping out of line or staying in Russia.
Meanwhile in Ukraine the only opposition made illegal is that fronted by other Kremlin's puppets and directed from Russia, who are one of the main root causes of this war, ask any Ukrainian why. And none of them are plausibly murdered. Many showed their full hand by literaly running to their master and arch enemy in Kremlin both in 2014 and 2022 because it started the war. Treason is still a crime, even if not punished by death by Ukraine.
Other thing is, none of the murdered or jailed Putin's 'opposition' heads have done literal military espionage for the attacking enemy at war or pumped out agressor-manufactured disinformation informational warfare (like Kremlin's black-propaganda) on Russia's territory. They did not have the chance, because they don't have to justify the war.
Unlike Gonzo who is not only a dirty fascist propagandist, but an actual combattant snitch who tried (and likely succeeded) to get Ukrainian forces killed and defeated. That's actual physical participation in genocide against Ukrainians in the most stupid public display to date. I say "are", because we'll never forget what that scum did and he will forever remain a war criminal for all to curse and spit on, otherwise the deaths of his master's victims will never be redeemed. That will happen to everyone like him, we'll make sure they don't go unpunished. Hiwever physically neither him nor other juvenile idiots who receive FSB/GRU grooming trough social media to set fire to AFU vehicles and other sabotages (still less heinous crimes that what Gonzo was doing) have been killed or tortured for informarion or pleasure, a thing that Russian AF are systematically experts on. Not only Gonzo was let off with a curfew house arrest, he kept actively fighting on Russia's behalf and apparently breaking the law in wartime, repeatedly, publically, showinistically, on purpose. If he was done like russian propagandist baselessly claim, it would be just sauf for making him a disgusting false martyr, which he certainly was not. Still, he and likes of him better not come across me or anyone else from the region who knows what's up. He is a war criminal complicit in genocide and i'll be on them for the rest of my life, still hoping for a karma to do its job just like with this specimen.
Don't want to be condescendent, but judging by majority of comments audience of this chanell is too naïve about the topics of hybrid warfare and evidently barely have a clue what's going on. There is no two sides if one side is both very similar and in some ways worse than ex.g. most Na Cs ever were (for many reasons this subjective comparison fits better than the original attempt). Includes the author of question i somehow got bited in replying to.
@Silver_PrussianThat’s just not the same scenario at all. If you ACTIVELY filmed positions of Russian soldiers in the Donbas no shit you’d get arrested. And if you do that expecting to not get arrested then for once; Russia would actually have a reasonable reason to arrest you.

One other thing about Gonzalo is that he rebanded to a pro russian podcast called the Roundtable. One day he hosted a debate with streamer Destiny and a small youtuber (at the time) called LazerPig.
Destiny left after an hour due to Gonzalo acting in bad faith but Lazerpig stayed there and debated him for another 2 hours while gradually getting drunk and Gonzalo slowly losing his shit and insulting him until he kicked Lazerpig out of the stream.
His weekly viewers tanked after the debate and never recovered.

I’m surprised Ghost Gum. Wouldn’t expect you to know about The New Order. Burgundian Lullaby is a good choice though.
The reason why putin prefers clowns like Seagal over people who genuinely love Russia is that the entire putin’s regime is built on the fear of smart and initiative personalities. Initiative often goes along with intelligence and critical thinking. Such people will ask questions and criticize the existing order of things. Take a look at Prigozhin’s story - hardcore Russian patriot and, moreover, self-proclaimed putin’s loyal ally. He started a coup because of his initiative and sincere love for the homeland. People like putin, a man who worked most of his life as a petty official for the KGB, don't like that. They like to control everything and everyone, to be the biggest fish in the tank. That's why he surrounds himself with idiots whose desires are limited to a hearty lunch at a fancy restaurant and a nice villa in Italy. Initiative people are strong people. And putin is afraid of strong people. Russia does not like to shoot itself at its own foot. It is putin who shoots Russia at its foot so that it would be submissive and obediently do his bidding.
Great point. Putin has basically purged Russia of genuine patriots that are willing to risk their lives to better their nation. He is an entirely parasitic entity, enriching himself off of the blood, sweat, and tears of the Russian populace. The cult of personality built up around him is like a form of widespread Stockholm Syndrome, like prisoners coming to deify their warden. It is perplexing to me why no fans of Putin ever seem to ask themselves how a KGB and FSB agent entered office a reasonably well-off but not extravagantly rich man in 1999, but then rapidly became a billionaire who rivals the West's most notable banking, media, and tech moguls in wealthiness. I suppose the true purpose of a cult of personality is to block thoughts like that and replace them with a sort of parasocial relationship, whereby the masses can attribute whatever qualities they want an ideal leader to have to the autocrat in question. The subject of a cult of personality is not the man himself, nor his traits and actions as leader, but rather an idealized figure who is imagined in place of the actual ruler. If fans of Putin were forced to recognize the genuine track record of that murderous little gremlin, they would almost certainly detest him, but vatniks never think about Putin in a critical manner like that, instead he's more of a symbol, a messianic figure who, in their minds, stands as the champion of Christian values, making Russia a bulwark against the degenerate Satanism of the postmodern West. The irony surrounding such a concept is thick enough to cut with a knife. Imagine believing that a former KGB agent conveniently found God right when the USSR collapsed and his career took a turn towards politics in a country where Eastern Orthodoxy was making a comeback. Putin only ever shows up for church on Christmas and Easter for press junkets, and even then there's a good chance it's a body double, as we've seen how paranoid the real Putin is about meeting with people even inside the Kremlin, so I doubt he actually goes out in public to meet with the plebs. The naivety of the fans of Putin and his invasion of Ukraine never ceases to amaze me.

No joke my uncles friend who is from Missouri is in Russia making Russian propaganda, this all happened after they had a weird alien experience while fishing
Man you gotta tell this story!
@ apparently there was a weird green flash that covered the lake while they were fishing in the boat, and when my uncle tried to bring it up his friend got really weird about it and tried to change the subject
@@Mtv-get-off-thee-air man that’s crazy! I hope your uncle’s friend is alive and well!
Saying your family is from Vladivostok and Belarus is like saying your family is from Alaska and Florida
The Iron Cross is not a n@zi symbol, it has been used to honor war heroes and great achievements even before WW1. The bad guys in fancy uniforms made it more popular during the time but now it sadly is associated with them
Well, yes. But combine that with confederate flag.
It may not have been invented by them, but they used it at great length. They didn't invent the swastika either, but show a Westerner it and ask them what they think of.
@@Pancasilaist8752that’s like saying the usa flag symbolises the Iraq war 😂
@@noecarrier5035don’t use the USA flag it symbolises the illegal war in Iraq

5:52 thank you for including the footage of Putin kissing the child’s stomach. Back when that happened in 2006, Putin came under a lot of scrutiny and criticism in Russia because it’s such a bizarre and creepy thing to do to a random kid on the street, and allegations were made about his inappropriate interest in children. The incident and the allegations have kind of been memory-holed, so I’m glad the footage is still making the rounds.
Some say this is what got Litvinenko poisoned
So to the people pointing out the iron cross existed before WW2 and still used today you are correct but we know why these guys wear it.
@@derigel7662 That's not what bigot means...
@@derigel7662 Bigotry is against a nationality/ethnicity or a group. someone making a generalization about a symbol is not bigoted unless he's using it to attack all Germans.
I have a feeling you have not actually read any textbooks about this...
@@derigel7662he is wearing a neonazi patch and an Iron Cross ring. He might be a fan of Prussia but my guess is WW2
@@derigel7662 Oh nooo won't someone stand up for the Germans! They've only tried to ruin Europe 4 times in the last 100ish years, they're really the victims!
@@derigel7662 he’s not making sweeping generalizations about the people who use the iron cross. He’s making an educated guess about this person’s use of the iron cross.
Who would actually want to spend money on tim "bald" poole?
Got to love Tim Drool making a fool out of himself by being hypocrite
I mean he was in hot water long before this stuff came out.
You always choose the best subjects man I love your videos so much . Gets me through my work shifts
Appreciate it man!
4:38 For tanks and other vehicles, they used the Balkenkreuz.
Also the Eisernes Kreuz has been used by Germans for centuries before the Nazis used it, and it's still being used by the Bundeswehr to this day as a military emblem.
Well yes it's being used by neo-nazis as a hate symbol, but saying it's a nazi symbol is plain out wrong
as a person from russia, I'm glad there's finally a dude who doesn't just shit on all russians and call everything pro-russia propaganda, you've outdone adam something on this one ♥
Adam something is not a high bar to pass 🤣
As a russian myself, i wouldn't say it's all that hard to find someone who doesn't shit on russians nor calls everything pro-russian?? I check up on the war quite often and a lot of my sources are western but i haven't seen anyone 'shit on all russians'. Basically my point being not everyone hates russian people as you're painting it out to be, stop playing a victim.
I feel for my friend in Russia, I hope everything will be ok one day
Of course brother, honestly I feel for the regular Russians who have to put up with all this
to be fair, it's hard for people from eastern europe to look at russia objectively.
I myself struggle with it sometimes. But I try my best not to blame regular ppl.
why do you never cite any sources ever? even when you say something was "difficult to find...anywhere" (23:14)
"Source? I MADE IT THE FUCK UP!"
6:12 bro tried to sneak in the rizzler 💀💀💀
0:40 bro looks like a school table 💀
Thank you man 🙏🏾 love the videos
This whole video perfectly exemplifies the typical American. They're smart enough to realize their media lies to them about everything. Yet they are totally convinced about Russia and that they aren't sending hundreds of billions of tax dollars to national socialists. 😅
This was a good video, now do one on the celebrities who have sold themselves to Israel
What about Celebrities that sold themselves to Israel?
Antisemitic, cannot talk about that.
Most of them are J people,some of them even were part of the military like gal gadot, is not the same as paid propaganda,is more 🧠💀 nationalism
no need. the media and entertainment is already owned
Except Israel is actually based and epic unlike Russia.
You guys are getting payed? I do that shit for free!
Did u just use Burgundian luilby??
The reason Seagull’s war movies are so bad is to show Putin why they shouldnt draft him to Ukraine.
here is the google for Iron Cross, , Prussian military decoration instituted in 1813 by Frederick William III for distinguished service in the Prussian War of Liberation
yes, but its still associated with nazis today (depending on context). the nazis also didnt invent the swastika, doesnt mean you can just use it nowadays.
@@galador8089 iron cros end the swastika are not the same
Dont get me wrong stupid neo nazi en comies she em as the same
@@galador8089 No, it isn't. The Nazis did invent their form of the swastika as it was used. The Iron Cross is associated with THE GERMAN MILITARY, as a holdover from the Prussians. People are so dumb now.
@@galador8089 the are not the same tho
@@kiradead666 yeah but when someone is wearing neonazi patches and an Iron Cross Ring I'm guessing he isn't referencing Prussia
Thanks for making this! It's exactly what I've been fighting against since 2016.
Tommykay mentioned
The biggest crime Gonzoboi did was in his rented Ukrainian apartment... Did you see the state of the mans toilet? Sickening.
4:32 to be fair, the iron cross has it's origin in the napoleonic era
Yeah and swastika shows up in the bronze age, are we really giving this guy credit?
@@forodinssake9570hes just saying that the iron cross isint a hate symbol. it was made a hate symbol
but again with this guy its obvious that he is wearing a iron cross as....you know...neo-'notsee' propaganda
@@forodinssake9570hes saying that the iron cross isint a hate symbol but made one. but in this context its obvious what is happening here.
This is a well-researched and well-presented video. Well done.
Coach Red Pill ending his run on earth in ukraine because he couldnt take the L will never not be hilarious to me.
@@Nick-ue7iw absolutely ghoulish
Thanks for the song at the end of an excellent video!
Saying the iron cross is a not see symbol is disingenuous as it was a award before the second world war and is still used today by the German army
The iron cross is a very old german symbol and still in use today. It was first avarded to soldiers fighting napoleon over 200 years ago. I got mine 15 years ago after serving in the Bundeswehr. It's called Ehrenkreuz (honor cross) today, but it's the same shape. And it is still the symbol of our military, together with the more modern Balkenkreuz. It has nothing to do with NS ideology.
I'm not saying he isn't one, I just wanted to clear that misconception up.
i haven't watched the video yet but i believe that it will be awesome
Probably not a great idea to end this video with a quote from one of the most notorious sex tourists of all time
What's wrong with sex tourism?
@@JohnDaubSuperfan369 nothing, he's just attempting to shame men who refuse to date western women
Good to know my favorite youtuber is talking about my homies
Dude legit has so much ink on his face I thought at first glance he was in blackface... Wouldn't be out of character for someone like that obviously lol
22:40 An Activate Windows notification on the bottom right? That's how you KNOW this is a high-quality documentary...
Ivans should deploy Steven to frontlines. That man (according to Steven) is a WMD
I have to give it to them. They put their money where their mouth is and actually moved to Russia. Unlike all the celebrities that said they would move when trump got elected.
Did not expect the Tommykay clip. Also are you familiar with grishaputin? He might be a good subject for a video.
Grisha😂 Yea, it was funny. But does he have enough lore behind him for a full video?
2:07 not only larger than the world GDP, but actually thousands of times larger than the square of the world GDP ^^

It's larger than the amount sand on earth, and the amount of atoms in a human body

Tucker Carlson is getting there
He has been there for years
Tucker Carlson is Russian?
@@cheifrazors1299 no but he did an interview with putin and then a second with another russian dude where it seemed very...idk. putin not so much for me but when i saw the other one with some super old guy it felt off. Like hes getting paid to ask certain questions
@@Dubyahh Well no shit. He had to be careful or it would be game over. I wouldn’t say he got paid to ask certain questions since if it was 100% propaganda then he would’ve never brought up the American Journalists stuck in Russia and suggesting that maybe a war with Ukraine would be a horrible idea for the Russian economy/currency. The Russian Ruble dropped heavily when Swift Bank dropped all transactions with Russia so I guess he was right.
Trump and Elon should be on this list
Big ups to the war analyst who are russian asset too. Like history legends
Zorro didn't die for this
Alright 25 min thats crazy, now imagine if he did this about all the celebrities who sold themselves to the US and woke stuff, the video would be one year long 😂
Fair point, but he already talked about China's monkeys, it's only fair to talk about Russia's monkeys
2:34 "lets send a nuke and wipe it off the map in my opinion" bro you have a confederate flag, which comes from America???
Watching creepy Depardieu become miserable there has been a small piece of enjoyment for me over the years.
Good video. Next can you do celebrities who sold themselves to Israel?
7:24 Matt Christiansen also was russain funded, cant believe I ever watched that joke. His moderators were insane as well. Not ban happy, but they would freeze all convo if you said something they didn't like
Is that the TNO burgundian lulliby in the background at 12:20
Yep
Ghost Gum might be a TNO fan. If he is, a TNO lore video made by him would be peak
👀
I know this nerdy but at 4:31 the iron cross doesn’t look like it has a swastika, making it an imperial German iron cross from WW1, which is very different from the WW2 nazi German iron cross. Although I dont think teddy would notice the difference
I'm surprised you made a video specifically about this before Gattsu
I'm so glad you're not in the vast majority of creators to not disawow the Russian regime
1 thing though, the iron cross has been a medal for a longer while now than nazis used its, it has no connection to nazism but just the german military
