GOOD MORNING FRIENDS AND ENEMIES

Evening.

Morning faggot

i just watched a talk by Yanis Varoufakis, he strikes me as someone who is against brexit, but believes the EU is to blame. Anyone have any opinions about him? I kinda liked his talk, though I'm for brexit

the oxford thing?

yes

ye watched that too, he seems like a rare intelligent leftie

all I got from it is its either EU-Fascism or National Fascism but I had it running in the background for a while might not have gotten everything

I found it interesting that Bannon wouldnt debate him

well he described a dystopia where the EU collapsed, and east europe unites under Germany, while the rest - including the UK - faces other problems like inflation due simply to proximity.

He doesnt seem to be a Soros-boi but I might be wrong on that

but it got me thinking a little about that, i wondered , even if brexit is good for the UK in 5-10 years, if the whole thing collapses later on then its gonna be a shit show for everyone. he says that everyone needs to unite to solve the problems with the EU itself via investments. but in my mind i feel that the EU collapsing is probably going to happen anyway, and his ideas might be wishful thinking

he also mentioned the Euro crisis was setup to happen from the beginning

yes, im not sure i understood his reason for why it was setup like that though

to gain the Federation

oh ye, for control

this feels like revelation to me, like something that was always in the back of my mind, but just recently realised

still, i liked his talk so, adding him to my watch list, for a while at least until i discover his secret agenda (if any)

lol the "collapse" and "uniting" are two sides of the same coin.

They're both the same game being played

:P a bit of chaos in europe might be healthy in the long run, booms typically follow strife. hopefully this time we can do it without a war

my favourite quote from the Joker "Introduce a little anarchy", a mantra i tend to live by when things in my world start to stagnate

That's not what anarchy means, but okay lol

Varoufakis was a fraud... he was supposed to save the Greek economy as the minister of Finance, but failed to meet any if his promises, failed to strike a repayment deal after the **third** Greek bailout, and generally pissed off everyone in Europe because he was pushing for a pardonning of the Greek debt

He was convinced that there was some sort of EU conspiracy against Greece

There isn't?

he tells about being assigned the post and first thing they said "sign here or we close all the banks in greece" or something along the lines and he talks about meeting obama, basically saying the same happened to him

No, the EU saved Greece three times from Bankruptcy and already pardonned one of their bailouts. The EU is simply pissed off now

Maybe socialism doesn't work?

Maybe not tying X nations to the same currency?

but that was the plan

i think he was saying he was prepared to or did use the debt as leverage

it shouldnt work

He was part of the radical left wing greek party

does that mean hes done a u-turn?

You should never borrow money

You kinda have to sometimes tho

he blamed germany in part (german banks) for lending to foreign countries, as opposed to investing in their own businesses, which allowed greece to accumulate so much debt. at least thats what i understood from it

@M4Gunner there's nothing wrong in running a deficit, as long as the borrowed money is used to finance growth

It's often the only way for most countries

what if it's spent on hookers and blow?
