Propaganda works.... assuming this is representing the average Russian, they seem fairly detached from reality

Isn't the broader picture things are going badly in the Donbas and this is Ukraine trying to establish a stronger position ahead of any talks?
Current reporting suggests they have taken troops from areas that were struggling to send them to Kursk and those areas are reporting zero let up from the Russians or signs they are withdrawing troops from those
They appear to be finding mainly conscripts in Kursk who appear to be as ill prepared and willing to fight as youd imagine

Thiel is historically illiterate
Don't think I've heard Thiel speak before and curiosity got the better of me when I saw he was on Rogan, couldn't make it all the way through but he just seemed a boring compilation of half thought through ideas and tropes. Always endearing when the billionaire oligarchs answer to how could you improve things is make access to social security harder

When people say education are they talking Chinese style "reducation" camps that they use against minority groups with dissenting views to teach them what a good citizen and right thought is or actual education giving people skills that hopefully lead them to a better future?
Given how hard it is to get a trades person and the plan to build 1.5m houses in the next 5 years, you'd think there is a massive opportunity to upskill people and set up an employment scheme to shift people to where the jobs are. Hopefully a proper industrial strategy that Labour are proposing will also help but that will take far longer to move investment to communities that need it.

I think there is a massive difference between being a ideologically driven (which is why terrorism charges haven't been seen yet) organiser and an ignorant and without hope individual venting your anger in a misguided way and punishment should be different. I think there is a third group who are wealthy and powerful individuals who are agitators and exploit the second group for thier own ends and so far, those individuals appear to be above the law unless they slip up on social media.
