The difference is that most of Europe have no balls. All those anti-lockdown protests did nothing, only protests that matter are BLM protests and pro-feminism, anti-right wing.
They will end up paying 7 times as much on heating but they will not do anything about it. Europeans will complain about gas prices and they will elect slightly different elites that are in fact no different then previous elites.
The West has an insanely powerful media. If anybody questioned the lockdown or theft of their freedoms they were instantly smeared by ALL news organizations as “ultra far right racist hitlers killing grandma”
Perhaps it is not just the government that needs to be afraid for there to be liberty, but also the media. They certainly act as an arm of the government at this point.
Any institution that elevates a human big toe like Brian Stelter to a place of power/influence is a corrupted institution.
The biggest reservoir of hope that I have is that these institutions are rotten and hollow, and will collapse under their own weight sooner rather than later.
They are 100% propped up by the billionaire globalist class and/or our corrupt governments. If our media were susceptible to market forces, virtually all of these outlets would already be gone.
Just wait until all the old people stop watching cable news. Right now you can find many political YouTubers that get more views than MSM cable TV shows.
It’s exceedingly effective. When someone calls you an alt right nazi reply, “ya so I guess I am. Now what are going to do about it?”. Then watch as their programming short circuits as they do not expect anyone to embrace it. They expect people to recoil in horror and submit.
Now it helps to be rich enough that they can’t really threaten you because usually the next retort is “where do you work I’ll call your boss…”
That doesn’t work with me at least because I can retort that rice and soybeans don’t give a fuck about your politics.
That’s why I got more involved in the last year in county politics and school board meetings, etc.. Many can’t stand up. I can.
I feel this way when i see people say the words "I'm not antivax but I don't want the vaccine because".
I'm antivax, this whole situation woke me the fuck up to the reality of all vaccines not working. If they worked they wouldn't need to be immune from liability.
Back in the "pre-culture war" days the good ol' MRAs learned the hard way that you either capitulate to their labels (and then lose) or you own it and they are left completely unable to comprehend someone doing that. There is a reason why "misogynist" really fell off despite Feminism still going.
I mean, most of the MRAs didn't learn that lesson and that's why they failed at everything but for a lot of us it was a solid awakening to carry into the new political climate.
Kazakhstan is ranked 155 out of 180 countries on the World Press Freedom Index, their authoritarian government has nothing to envy from the media in the West.
A protest in a non-violent demonstration to the government of violence to follow if the mob is not appeased. If they know no violence will follow, the protests are meaningless. They miss the entire point.
Meanwhile Putin has Europe by the balls as he extends Russia's natural gas network west through France. France and Germany have been shutting down nuclear plants and ceding energy independence to a hostile foreign power. I cannot conceive of more feckless governance than to fail to provide basic energy security for your people. It's literally more important than healthcare.
They'll do nothing. They have hundreds of billions of dollars worth of LNG infrastructure built to funnel natural gas from the arctic and Siberia throughout all of Europe. They have decades-long deals in place that contractually obligate them to Russian energy. They've pushed themselves into a corner with insane renewables-based energy policies, and left the Russians as their only source of baseload energy for the foreseeable future. They fucked themselves.
France too, really? We negotiate with them to build us nuclear plants and I know they've been selling power to Germany since Germans got retarded and closed theirs.
Both governments have absolutely retarded energy policies. France has been slowly winding down its aging fleet of reactors for some time now, and trying to replace them with renewables. There's a certain logic to it if you're not forward-thinking. Nuclear plants are huge investments, and renewables are comparably cheap and fast to get up and running. The trade off is, of course, that they aren't reliable and don't fucking work.
The Germans increased their carbon footprint a few years ago because their renewables were faultering and they had to bring coal plants back online to make up the difference.
Huh. Kazakhstan was supposed to be a Central Asian success story.
At the main square, vodka was being distributed and some people were discussing whether to head towards the city bazaar or a wealthy residential area for possible looting, the resident said.
At one point, Europeans (mostly Russians, Germans, Ukrainians) were more than half the population of Kazakhstan.
I believe that after the fall of the Soviet Union the population was well more than 40% European. That percentage has shrunk every year.
Additionally, "radical" Islam has traditionally not been very big in Kazakhstan and Russian atheism was a bigger deal than in some of the neighboring countries.
Across Central Asia (Uzbekistan, Turkmenistan, Tajikistan, Uzbekistanm Kyrgyzstan, and Kazakhstan), political Islam has been growing for many years, often as a reaction against the Soviet-aligned, the corrupt leaders, etc.
They are all pretty much led by authoritarian strongman types, there's a lot of corruption, and political Islam is becoming a bigger deal. Kazakhstan, I think, has generally been in better shape, but who knows what happens next.
Side note, say what you will about the Soviet Union, and there's a lot to say, it's very interesting how many of their leaders, and the leaders in the post-Soviet Republics, were trained engineers.
Although the igniter are energy prices, Kazakhstan is a pseudo-democracy of limited free press and limited free speech, they can even arrest you for practising religion outside of state control, that is why people are so angry, while in Europe or USA people can protest some other way, the chances of doing it peacefully in Kazakhstan are very small.
In what kind of country do you think the government takes down the Internet because of protests? Only in an authoritarian regime like Kazakhstan, it would be unthinkable doing that in the US or EU.
In Turkey, the censorship is so noticeable that there are some things you just can’t search the internet for… They just come up blank. Like Kurdish artists and musicians, for example…
But that’s thanks to direct government pressure, rather than in the West where it’s, uhh, tech giants not even waiting for government permission to “do their dirty work”… 😑
So is this a good news or bad one? I do know much about Kazakh government. EU could definitely use some fireworks for fuck sake. Either on Parliament or police stations, pick your poison. But everyone is still lying to themselves that it could be achievable without violence and blood.

I'd drop the qualifier of "capitalist", but yes.
Nothing says "capitalist" like strangling competition in the crib, right?
In the immortal words of the serial mass shooter Sam Hyde: Don't worry so much about money. Worry about if people start deciding to kill reporters.
Mainstream media are the propaganda arm of the globalist cabal. It's that simple. What are patriots supposed to do with that information?
there needs to be a second january 6, to remind them of their place.
"Why yes, I am far right, and don't care if grandma dies. What are you going to do about it?"

It's frustrating that there aren't more people in this situation, and even fewer who have the presence of mind that you do.

Its amusing how forgotten about this tactic was.

It does not help if you fear for your job and have kids while those in their 20s are brainwashed

Translation: The only protests that matter are the ones that are violent.
A protest in a non-violent demonstration to the government of violence to follow if the mob is not appeased. If they know no violence will follow, the protests are meaningless. They miss the entire point.
Non-violent protests only accomplish things if the opposition has a heart and will turn on the government for their evils.
No part of the Left or most Governments give a single shit about any Right type protesters getting hurt, they'd champion it even.

He does until late spring. Then we'll see what the corrupt globohomo that rule Europe will do.

Winter barely started. There's still 2.5 months left for a winter storm to fuck them up.

Had you trained them in the 90’s on their home turf like some of us did, you would know there’s zero truth to that theory.
Elaborate?
I don’t see them as any kind of central Asian success story
Pro-Russia military strongman installed in 3, 2, 1...

That has to happen before you build back better
This was a government supported by the Russians, so this coup d'etat will be portrayed by the media as a glorious revolution.
Coup? It's just chaos: https://twitter.com/ragipsoylu/status/1478833505794768898 (thread)
It looked like one of the 'color revolutions' sponsored by NGO faux 'democracy' advocates.
Nah, these are orderly.
Rusha warning Germini about fucking with them? Or is this actually a new story from China's mouth piece?
Rusha
Where is the source for the rest of your title, fagot?

Posting images of twitter posts instead of actual links should be a punishable offense.

Change Nur-Sultan city’s name back (to Akmoly, Akmola or Astana), when? 🤔
Hell, if you wanna fix Kazakhstan, move the capital back to Almaty, where it should have stayed, and where the people are…
Won’t happen, but still. One can but dream!
