@@waterisbased The thing with that kind of propaganda is that you have a handful of groups, be it adversarial governments like Russia and China are to most western nations, homegrown extermist groups, or even a mix of both working together when their goals coincide, purposefully propagating ideas to create further divison within a nation's population and destabilize their current government, impeding on their ability to follow with their current foreign policies, weakening their position within the nation's political horizon, etc... Nowadays it often takes the form of waves of social media posts, using bots or actual humans, which is then, unknowingly or not, parroted by people influenced by them, which, akin to dominos, results in even more people being influenced by that propaganda campaign and doing the same. In the end, the talking points made for that propaganda campaign end up so entangled in the public perception that you need to go through painstaking efforts, lasting years if not decades, to clear out the misconceptions on a wide enough scale for these talking points to die out. But, unfortunately, the people who benefit from these propaganda campaigns don't just wait for the previous talking points to die out before putting new ones out, making for an impossible battle to win. All that to say, we shouldn't underestimate the sheer amount of actual humans who fall victim to the waves of bots and unknowingly spread all that nonsense further. We may have seen a recrudescence of Russian bots in the last decade, but they, despite being instigators, still only make up a small portion of the overall discussion. In the end, resuming it all to them mostly being bots only reinforces the position victims of these propaganda campaigns hold, as they inevitably feel attacked whenever someone says that "most people", which is mostly interpreted as "all" rather than "big subset" by the human brain, who hold similar views to them are all bots. The goal shouldn't be to indirectly reinforce the propaganda, but to weaken it.

You are right about that the west definitely hasn’t fallen and that a lot of the people on the internet are making it seem way worse than it actually is.

[@addygreen8919]

Gattsu sees himself as political liberal in the US-American sense, maybe because of his strong dislike against Russian propaganda ("the west is so bad everything is better here") and the corruption and double standards of "non-bureaucratic right wing" politicians. Therefore he often does not want to take the existence of problems, that are often brought up by conservative or right leaning people, serious. Here is the thing: He could see gender obsession (hormones for children, gender-affirming surgery payed by health insurance, everyone can choose their pronoun...) as problematic and still not fall for Russian propaganda against gay people. He could see the problems of de-industrialization and still be for a greener planet. He could see the problems with different VISA systems, but also see why VISAs are necessary. He could acknowledge problems with Islamism in France and Belgium imported through migration and still be for religious freedom. But his videos are sadly always very one sided ("I made vacation in Paris and there were no big problems for me. Andrew Tate is a sex offender. The west has not fallen.").

6:28 While I'm pretty sure Andrew Tate only said this in order to cast doubt on the allegations, this is an actual problem I've seen here in the United States. While I'm not sure how it is in Georgia, in the United States it's possible to hear about women who falsely accused men of rape and for that man be arrested and/or have their social life ruined because of it. Only in the end for the women to reveal that she was lying the entire time, but at that point the damage is already done. If you look "false rape accusations" in google or KZbin, you'll find plenty of examples. While I'm not sure how common it is, I know that it's extremely damaging to the victim and there is barely a punishment for the woman besides a legal slap of the wrist.

[@tristanband4003]

Seems fine to me. There ought to be severe consequences even with accusations. I speak as someone who has experienced it.

[@LordKasadoad]

@@tristanband4003 No, it's not fine. Too many innocent men have had their lives ruined or changed negatively from how people treat these accusations. Rape accusations should always be treated seriously of course, but people need to remember the idea of "Innocent until proven guilty." An accusation alone should not be the basis for considering a man a rapist, especially when you consider the fact that anyone can make such accusations without evidence. Actual evidence that proves or suggests the validity of the accusation should be the determining factor in whether or not a man is guilty. While I don't want to assume your experiences, I highly doubt that you been accused of rape, been through the humiliating process of being seen as a monster, have lost friends, family, work, and possible schooling due to the accusation, have experienced the aftermath of such an event where even after it has all happened and you've been proven innocent, people still see you as a monster due to stubbornness and/or ignorance, only for you to come out of that horrible experience believing that people should assume that a man is guilty of rape based on an accusation alone. It's possible, but I doubt it.

[@FirstnameLastname-zq8oy]

False rape allegations are still very uncommon in the US, I definitely wouldnt say it happens commonly enough to be considered a problem. Yes of course if you google false rape accusations, you can find examples of it happening, nobody is saying that false rape accusations never happen. But the point is, statistically, false rape accusations are very rare compared to real rape accusations, it is just typically pretty difficult to prosecute rape compared to many other crimes unfortunately, so many rape cases dont end in conviction. Yes, false rape accusations are very damaging in the cases where they do happen, and the people who make false accusations definitely should false legal consequences for it if the accusations can be proven to be intentional lies, but a lot of incel / "red pill" type people online like to make false rape accusations seem like a big widespread problem in countries with more gender equality where the actual reality is that the amount of people who rape / SA someone and get away with it without legal consequences is FAR higher than the amount of people who falsely accuse someone of rape, and you are FAR more likely to know someone who has been victim to SA / rape than someone who has been victim to false allegations. That does not make false allegations ok, but like I said, a lot of misogynists online intentionally try to make it seem that it is way more common than it actually is in order to manipulate others into immediately disbelieving alleged victims whenever they come out about their experience with SA / rape.

I grew up in the hood in London and I totally agree. Despite what you hear about the stabbings London is a safe city. It’s not exactly the cleanest city but it doesn’t smell like piss all the time. And the people you’ll meet are great. A lot of negativity is hyped up by the media for attention and for political fear-mongering. A lot of it is pretty racially charged as well. Most of the gang violence stays within the gangs themselves (even though civilians are sometimes sadly accidental victims) The only problem for London is how it’s becoming very expensive and mass gentrification is taking place. Normal working people can’t afford to live here anymore and are moving out. There’s now an exodus of working class former Londoners living outside of London in places like Essex and Kent. There are entire towns on the border of London built just to house these people and they are depressing AF. This also brings the drugs and gangs over to these regions as well. Meanwhile there are entire council estates in central London that are completely empty and are basically run by the gangs. That’s something that the media doesn’t really talk about.

Gattsu, I like some of your content, but if your idea of having "boots on the ground" is being a tourist in a certain country for a couple days, I have to burst your bubble. Tourism, like you clearly mentioned in another one of your videos, is meant to portray the best image of your country, kinda like North Korean tour guides do by explicitly telling you not to dig up all the dirt there is. This video is full of anecdotes so let's ground ourselves with some facts: birthrates are falling in the west, communities are disappearing, trust is falling, the increase in suicide is higher, the average young adult has no hopes for the future, in part because of the culture and in large part because it has become impossible for new generations to even dream about owning a house of their own. I have lived in both the west and in third world. In the third world, I could buy a house without a mortgage, and while it is not much, it is something I could call my own. I have cousins who are in their 20s, already have children and live in their own house. And that is statistically still the average over there. In the west however, me AND my girlfriend both cannot get a mortgage of 200k Euros (which is not nearly enough to even buy a small apartment) even when both employed on a decent job. There are several valid reasons why one would go live outside of the west today. One thing I agree with you is that women™ is not a valid excuse to escape the west.

@Gattsu I love your videos and agree with what you say on most of your videos, but I got to be honest with you. The West hasn't fallen, but it's far from the paradise you make out to be, especially if you live in the U.S. and aren't rich. Right now, inflation is stupidly high, and the cost of living is pretty bad to the point where you'll either be homeless or be unable to find the shittest apartment to rent unless you can find roommates or just live with family. Corruption is high, and crime is getting worse in the big cities and some small towns due to the reasons above, with drugs adding to it. There's constant civil unrest, and the public is divided on many problems while our leadership ignores things like Maui and focuses on foreign affairs and putting millions or billions into that instead of the nation. So yeah, the West that you considered "great" isn't great and may not collapse today or tomorrow, but it will eventually, just not in the way envisioned that losers like Bald and Tate think it will.

It's not fallen completely, but the West is definitely declining. As someone who was born and raised in Britain (and still lives there), it has hit its peak. It's easier to get annoyed and sick of whqt you're familar with and I understand your grudges with Georgia. But here’s why some look at Eastern Europe, Central Asia and China with rose tinted glasses- the opportunity to improve is definitely a thing. Although I will say as someone with a Dad born and raised in China, how much such a place can improve in the next 30 years is very subjective. The opportunity for the West to improve is finished because everyone has become complacent. Instead it's everyone arguing over luxury beliefs and social programs. But of course, the West has questionable age demographics and some can't work out what a man or woman really is.
