Before learning to become a man, you need to learn how to write, and form coherent sentences - because I can barely understand what you wrote here. You also need to learn how to read, because: 1) Nowhere did I say that I wanted to get women easily or wanted an easy way out 2) Nowhere did I say how much of a man I am, where the fuck are you getting all this from? These are your own projections 3) I wrote that I live in an Eastern country and am from there, so you can't say that I escaped the west, etc. 4) The point of traveling is to expand your awareness and worldview, to understand what's out there. It also expands your dating pool, when you KNOW what you want.

If you want to find a feminine and beautiful woman, your chances will increase tenfold in an eastern european country. You probably have never traveled outside of the US, thus you can't comprehend any of what we are saying here. I am speaking as someone who is from an eastern country and lives there, but who also have lived in the west. US is far from being the best place to live, yet alone to find a woman. Once you travel and even live somewhere else for extended period of time, your opinion will most likely change.

Why are you so obsessed with race? I said nothing regarding their skin color here. On the video more than 70% of the women are white.

LOL, this is what you consider attractive? You clearly have never been to countries in eastern Europe. I wouldn't give these more than a 6. You need to clearly travel more.

It is not relevant to narcissism. If it happens to be true, it doesn't make you any less of a narcissist is my point. Funny you say that, when a lot of the time you expect others to see the world that you do or to hold your standards.

This proves my point. Weather if it's true or not - is not actually relevant. People who are not narcissists and happen to also be very wise, don't need to do so. Something to consider.

There are actually 7 to 10 forms of narcissism out there (depending on how you want to group them). The way that you speak and what you have said over the years, clearly shows otherwise. Why do you so often tell others that you have intellectual superiority over them?

Typical narcissistic response of yours - " You don't understand X, you don't understand Y, but I do". You keep denying that you are a narcissist - but you clearly are one. We clearly have different values in this case and instead of agreeing to disagree, you insist that I don't understand, because in your mind you can't be wrong.

I do understand what is survival and it is not relevant to what we are talking about here. I find it hilarious how you use these meta-justifications to excuse censorship. I bet 3-4 years back though when it was happening, you probably denied that there was any censorship from the government going on in the first place. Your bias is way too obvious, I expect you to be way more balanced and neutral when it comes to these topics.

Such "harmful info" included the idea that the virus came from a lab, how ineffective the masks actually were (proven later), and any other questions that people had, that did not go along with the narrative that was being pushed.

I 100% agree - the quality of women in both USA and UK is as low as it gets. The guys who say otherwise clearly have not traveled much outside of US. Not to mention that living in US would be 2-5x more expensive.

The problem here is that there are only 2 candidates available to choose from for the election day. The 2 party system is just so fucked, that some people don't have a choice but to vote for Trump, simply because the other choice is just not any better either in their eyes. Would be much better if there was like 4-5 candidates available from 4-5 different parties, similar to how you have it in Europe.

https://www.reuters.com/world/europe/telegram-messaging-app-ceo-pavel-durov-arrested-france-tf1-tv-says-2024-08-24/ The charges are rumored to be support for terrorism, drug trafficking, complicity in crimes, mass fraud, money laundering, concealment, pedophile content, and more. He refused the demands on French government and didn't censor his platform - now they got him. Funny enough he left Russia as government also wanted access to all users but he refused, but ironically now the Western government has arrested him. Looks like they are really targeting those who stand up for free speech and privacy. Is Elon Musk next? Edit: The French Prosecutors had a press release today: https://www.tribunal-de-paris.justice.fr/sites/default/files/2024-08/2024-08-26 - CP TELEGRAM .pdf Pavel Durov is facing these 12 charges: 1)Complicity in the administration of an online platform to enable illegal transactions. 2)Refusal to provide information upon requests from authorized bodies. 3)Complicity in possession of pornographic images of minors. 4)Complicity in the distribution of pornographic images of minors by an organized group. 5)Complicity in drug distribution. 6)Complicity in the distribution of hacker programs. 7)Complicity in fraud committed by an organized group. 8)Creation of an organized group for the purpose of committing crimes punishable by imprisonment for a term of at least five years. 9)Laundering of money obtained as a result of the activities of an organized criminal group. 10)Provision of cryptographic services aimed at ensuring confidentiality, without mandatory declaration. 11)Illegal provision of cryptography beyond what is necessary to ensure confidentiality. 12)Illegal import of cryptographic tools beyond those necessary to ensure confidentiality.

@Leo Gura i was not comparing France to China - it was a response to Nemra. The Durov case is a very absurd one that can set a major precedent. I think out of all the people you should understand this. @Nemra No, the point is that there they decide who has it and who doesn't.

If you rather live in a country like China, that is your choice. There it's not a given.

Who are you to decide who needs or it who doesn't? Same goes for privacy. As Durov said, Telegram is either secure or not secure for everyone - you can't have the app secure for certain people and not for others.

Wow, even the progressives in this video like Krystal Ball here mentioned that this is concerning if you care about privacy/free speech. What I don't understand, is why do so many left leaning people stopped caring about this issue? It shouldn't be left/right issue, it should be a common value that we all care about, no matter the political spectrum that you belong on.

I have explored - you cannot expect to have everything removed instantly at the tip of the finger. No, it's important for every person who values privacy, freedom of speech and doesn't take it for granted . I don't think you understand the seriousness of this.

The public stuff is already being moderated, Telegram has already deleted a lot of the stuff upon requests. What authorities are demanding, is access to private messages/chats of certain users, which Durov is not willing to give. He refused to give in to the same demands of Russian government with VK and Telegram, that's why he had to leave Russia. In the big picture this is a battle of privacy/free speech and will be a huge precedent going forward.

This case will be a huge precedent with how other governments will act in the future. The logic is also beyond absurd as well with these charges - Those same criminals also use phones, cars, etc. Should they then arrest the CEOs of Apple, Google, of BMW, etc as well?

Here is what Snowden said: "The arrest of Durov is an assault on the basic human rights of speech and association. I am surprised and deeply saddened that Macron has descended to the level of taking hostages as a means for gaining access to private communications. It lowers not only France, but the world.." https://x.com/Snowden/status/1827695836832334169

@Moutushi Using the word fool is not named calling, this word is used quite often on this forum. Don't try to play the victim or the rule card with me, it won't work.

For those that don't know, In 2018 Russia started to block Telegram, after Durov refused to give access to encrypted private messages to FSB. (federal security service) Their reasoning for getting access was exactly the same -it is being used by terrorists, etc. In actuality, they needed it so they could crack down on opposition and liberal leaning people. The guy could have stayed in Russia, worked with the authorities and been even richer - but he out of principle decided not to. In the West though, you got fools (or idiots) who call themselves "liberals", who don't understand how good they have it, that are ready to voluntarily give up their rights and freedoms - for which true liberals in countries like Russia fight for.

Obviously not
