I'm here yet again to remind people that Brian Berletic is a far right source.

I'll not even defending the Nepal protests. But it can't be hard to find a source that isn't a chud if it's legit.

Regarding Brian Berletic - and why you should be sceptical of anything he claims

however Brian tries to portray Otpor as much more influential than it was... but it wasn't the entire movement, nor was it the majority, nor was it the driving force... Otpor had 1 seat in the parliament ( out of 250), and in the subsequent elections held in 2003 where they went independent, they had 0 seats and dissolved shortly after in 2004

I have to say, this has been my experience with Berletic, where he portrays the (possibly) most Western controlled NGO as the leading org, and thus the whole movement as Western led..

I got to the point where you questioned whether or not Otpor was a Color REvolution Op

That's not how I read OP's text.

BTW, I can't insist enough how I know feck all about Serbia. Maybe it is a colour revolution. I just don't trust Berletic's analysis on anything.

Ya I don't know anything about Nepal either, but I'm much more inclined to believe actual leftists. I've been beating the drum against Berletic for years. A few people in the news thread love him too hard and are beyond reason.

In situations like Ukraine where many people here have a lot of background knowledge, he's probably less bad as people can critique him. But when he drops opinions on places like Indonesia, Myanmar, Nepal, and Serbia, places where nearly all of us have very little local understanding, he can do real harm. Clearly this one YouTuber can't be experts in all these places, so he's very much talking out of his ass much of the time.

You're not the first local I've met who's found his "colour revolution" spiel to be overly simplistic, with them also raging that "Western backed NGOs fully creating a coup out of thin air" is spurious. I'm friends with a few Myanmar refugees, and his defense of the junta there is just comically bad if gives it just a critical read.

I've never known Berletic to have a good opinion on any issue or even show a wiff of social justice or leftism. The attraction Westerners have for him is so weird.

Sorry to keep reposting this, but he's a massive fucking reactionary. It upsets me to no end when leftists cite him.

I know fuck all about the Serbian situation though. But I'm still way more inclined to believe OP than a guy who wrote for Infowars.

Yes, US funded groups are involved in Indonesia unrest

Why Are People Wearing Masks in 2025?

The Haitian Revolution - Novo General Megathread for the 22nd to 24th of August 2025

discussion of addiction

I knew this guy in 2005 who was my enemy. Just a guy from rich parents who was a drunken dickhead his whole life. We fell out hard. But later he became a super alcoholic, and just couldn't hold down a job. Eventually just lived with his rich parents from 2010 onward.

I got back in touch with him since I felt bad and I guess life humbled him a bit. He's still a rich dickhead, just with more obscure beliefs.

Why Are People Wearing Masks in 2025?

I can see you point. As a dude, I'm not gonna argue it. But I do fell hella uncomfortable being around visibly respiratory illness sick people. Like, why do I get compelled to get your germs? But it someone else argues it's too far, I'm not gonna push back.

I have very immune compromised friends. For them it's a much bigger deal, and they probably have stronger opinions on this than me.

True. I can't say enough that the cultural power of capital has been pushing the anti maskers as the real heroes, and the maskers as the sheep. And god, imagine the worst oppression one felt in their life is being asked to mask.

Why Are People Wearing Masks in 2025?

Well said. I hate to whinge, but I can't get over the amount of (always white) people that need to stir shit about my masking. Like I don't want to get sick, and I don't want my family to get sick.

Even if long covid wasn't a thing, this would still be valid.

What do you do when your book club is reading liberal revisionist slop

Just say that he's on the Council of Foreign Relations. Basically he's being paid to be a cheerleader for Amerikan empire. That's enough for most libs to understand, especially with everything going on right now.

Bit idea: A cis man with a small dick asking a trans man how to pack.

I'm honestly unsure if this is body shaming.

My school managers don't like it that I don't attend (not mandatory but highly suggested) work social events. I don't drink alcohol, I hate the sight and smell of meat, I'm the only one masking. I DO NOT care about people's holiday stories. I'd literally rather just play video games at home.

I don't want to post too much doomer shit in the mega. But ya comrade, it's hard as fuck, and doesn't feel worth it. It's definitely not you're fault that you're unemployed, especially especially if you're under 30.

"it will be better trust me"

Ya you're being gaslit.
