Lex Fridman's Analysis of Putin and Ukraine

Mass disinformation going on. Anyone who says there's no propaganda, or says only one side does it is mind numbingly unaware. Or... being factious on purpose and acting stupid.

Americans are far more brainwashed than the average Russian. Especially left leaning Americans. They uncritically accept everything on MSM.

as an american i can for sure say we are definitely under heavy propaganda all the time

it's because our population is indoctrinated to believe that "private enterprise = freedom". so nobody views the media here as propaganda because they think "oh its a private company why would they lie for the government". People don't realize that those private companies are beholden to the industries that manufacture weapons, pharmaceuticals, the finance industry, etc through advertising contracts. the same people who have bought the government, which turns them into essentially a mouthpiece for those fascistic interests. it's the insidiousness of capitalism, large-scale oppression masked by the illusion of "freedom"

As a russian myself writing this comment straight from Moscow I totally agree. Every single person I know is aware of propaganda. Still I can assume that the only kind of people who thinks that they are out of the scope of propaganda he could have talked to are people who don't watch TV mostly consuming news from youtube and such. For some reason they tend to think that if they are not watching federal channels and news they won't get brainwashed. The other interesting thing is the definition of propaganda itself. I've met full grown up and well-educated individuals saying something like " I know better cause I watch BBC / CNN / some random youtube blogger and they / he is telling the real truth "

Imagine thinking something that has been done forever to populations everywhere isn’t being done to you.

kzhead.info/sun/lK-BdbCimaN4pJHK/bejne.html is finally here

Americans are the most brainwashed and propagandized population on the planet

Lex: “The Russians think Russia has no propaganda.” (Then immediately begins to parrot US propaganda)

To play devil's advocate... All of American and European media has been insisting this entire time that Russia is losing horribly and Ukraine is winning fantastically. Russian media has said that Russia is winning. Now, over the past several days, European and American media have become much more dire with their outlook of Ukrainian victory, and they are admitting that the Russian military is making significant gains and winning significant victories. There are plenty of journalists, including some stationed in Eastern Ukraine, who went from mocking Russian forces to panic and gloom and doom in just 24 hours. So... Which media sources were closer to the truth there? Edit- Russian media also maintained that there were biolabs funded by the Pentagon operating in Ukraine. Western media denied that. But then American government officials admitted it.

🤣 Indeed

Lol

This....

I find it very amusing that even Lex is finding it hard to not overanalyse something he has absolutely no information on which is the actual mental state of putin and his inner circle. 🤡 The civil war with some russian involvement had been going on since around 2014, did Putin seriously have that little info on how they would respond? With how easy it is to insert spies in Ukraine? I appreciate that Lex is an academic mind who is an expert in many fields but the nuances, pros and cons of certain ways of waging war in the midst of a full on global disinformation campaign probably eludes him.

Props-aganda…the BS Hollywood tells itself

Typical Murican mumbling propaganda. He literally came on JRE and said a whole lot of NOTHING. what a tool.

@E a quick example is when Joe asks about the factions within Ukraine, Lex talks about the pro-European element to the West and pro-Russian element to the East. No mention of Azov who are in the East and are very strongly pro-Ukraine (amongst potentially other ideologies). No mention of the Crimean Tatars who were displaced by the Russians during the USSR and again after the 2014 annexation.

Yeah Joe is adding that when people can't find their own meaning they look for a strong man to provide them the vision.

Elon Musk today is providing a vision of going to mars, maybe it will not be appreciated today , but in 1000 years his idea or him directly will be regarded as a GOD. And there will be a mythical story told to raise him even beyond the mere human that he was. Giving people a vision and a meaning which can last them for thousands of years very few people can do something like that. Him managing to create Tesla and Space X will serve as the real foundation that if you put your mind to it and work really really hard you can achieve it. That's what people want and need. We just need a good compelling story and if it's based on reality even better. Elon Musk could have failed his third launch could have crashed and destroyed both his companies that day , he would be regarded as nobody today as a charlatan.

@@Fluxion11 Exactly. But to be fair he is a part of the establishment / elites

Not well. I doubt Lex even knows what BRICS stands for, yet he's talking about a miscalculation by Putin. In two-years' time we'll be talking about the end of the petrodollar and dollar hegemony. And the worst part will be we did NOTHING to stop it because everyone in the West was too wrapped up in the anti-Russia propaganda to notice what was happening.

Yeah, Ukraine leans towards "democracy"! What a joke. The opposition is literally BANNED in Ukraine, current regime came into power in a COUP, country is being ran by executive orders- a real democracy indeed! They literally don't have sovereignty or anything. Poroshenko was INSTALLED. This Lex guy smirking when mentioning what Russia is (if not democracy) should maybe explain how is democracy functioning in America. 6 January was considered A COUP and people are being arrested and sentenced to years in prison.

Lex, please explain the geopolitics of Ukraine without mentioning Christianity, western liberalism, or Jewish oligarchs. "Sure. It's pro-Ukraine vs pro-Russia."

Entirely agree. They know nothing about Ukraine. All their knowledge about Ukraine is based on information from English language media or based on Russian propaganda starting even from the beginning of the last century. Like ruzzia told there were no hunger in Ukraine in 1930s and all countries believed ruzzia. And once Ukraine wanted to tell the world about the hunger which was caused by ruzzia, a few countries believed and support Ukraine in that. I can tell that ruzzia did a very good job in terms of presenting Ukraine from abad perspective.

Nice input. 👍

How many are there for non violent drug offenses? I wonder if the war on drugs made it this way.

The USA is a lot more violent society than European countries, and although the rate of incarceration is higher there are many violent criminals who are not ending up in prison but should because of left-wing DAs. Ethnicity does play an enormous role in violence in society - European countries are becoming much more violent and one day may reach the USA's levels due to immigration. For example in Sweden, where 8 out of 10 convictions for rapes by strangers were by people born outside Europe and unheard of gun crime and explosions are becoming a daily event in immigrant communities. In the UK the levels of knife murders are rocketing in ethnic communities. If you separate prison rates out by ethnicity the US/European levels should be closer. To the person who says people should be executed - people are not executed in Europe. To the person mentioning imprisonment for non-violent drug offences, drug overdoses (legal and illegal) killed 107,000 people in USA, mostly young people, in 2020 or 2021 (can't remember which) - fighting drugs is essential to save an entire generation from addiction, but I suppose the war will be inevitably lost because not enough will to combat it ruthlessly enough.

@@adameaszy7879 they lock you up for years in Russia if you have a bit of weed. And I’d hate to say it but we lock more people up because we just have more crime here. I’d feel a lot safer in these other countries (even china) than a lot of places in the US.

Right?

@Nick Phelan yeah I was about to correct you but I read the entire message. I'm not even putting North Korea on the list because if we didn't interfere I believe North Korea and South Korea would work out a working relationship but we are there to always divide people from their people and we are number one. Do we actually vote for president or we vote for a figurehead? It appears like if we are interfering with Somalia for decades yet we don't have the same president for decades and that can go towards Afghanistan but yet the presidents change and things stay the same. They feed us rhetoric and they divide us just like they do with Thailand and China and Korea and even in Ukraine. More countries are telling us to stay away and we are looked at as the enemy with the path of ending up in a corner but hey we still have NATO.

He said western propaganda in Ukraine, what do you think he is talking about? Does he really have to spell it out for you?

Don't forget the Russian owner of Etherium gave India a billion US dollars to help when India was in the middle of the pandemic too

I don't know about Lex, but he seems like he has some facts. In this area, he's like an intellectual 15-year-old.

That was the 1970s and it was the Soviet Union (Of which Ukraine was a member). Putin's Russia has a defence cooperaton agreement with Pakistan and is a major ally of China. Do you think the average European Russian sees brown faced Indians as equals? While Ireland has already had an Indian heritage PM and Britain is likely to get one in September.

Still, if you support Russia, you are scum.

why is he a legend? He gas fake MIT credentials and hardly knows what he is talking about?

@@mkballer4502 It's a joke

Totally agree

thats about the level lex is at due to his naivety

@@workemail5429 this is what happens when you get your news form cnn and NYT

“Some high school kid” lmaooooo lex has way more going on up there than your beloved host

@@KM-bn7dg no he doesn't lol. Gave the most Luke warm CNN take. Ukraine's internal struggle sounded like a mild disagreement lol. No mention of their Nazis. No purpose to Ukraine? 8 years of bombing Russian people wasn't enough?

US propaganda machine is no doubt the strongest.

Yup

Depleted uranium in Iraq which is forbidden. Illegal treatment war prisoners, torture etc. Etc etc

@@daniel_960_ Most effective probably in the history of humanity

The list goes on and on... sadly... and still, people buy into that crap, and always will, it's just what people are like, everywhere..

Propaganda exists, the difference is that in some places you have multiple competing propagandas which (ideally) provide information for people to make an informed decision, while in others there is only one voice. As a designer you should know the difference.

It's a funny thing. In my native language we don't have different words for advertising, marketing and (political) propaganda. There's only "propaganda", meaning all three of those things.

do you think that Zelensky united the nation to the greater degree than before? or do you think that image is part of his messaging to the world?

@@kaaajeee yeah he's part of it. Though it's more about the nation itself, the army, not just one person. It helps to have that one person, though, since we need to create the brand so the governments of other countries help us. I don't think this kind of unity would be possible without this invasion. Now we even have our own "2nd amendment" coming in (today there was a national survey launched if we should have it).

Couple questions? If that’s okay, I’ve Just been wondering actual Ukrainian takes(and even if you are a “nationalist”, just speaking objectively as possible): do you believe this was inevitable & how much do you personally place the west’s influence at blame? This is unverified & I couldn’t get a reply from the person (they were also VERY pro-Russia so likely regurgitating their state media’s talking points) but they seem to feel Nationalists there both have heavily pressured Zalenskyy & also were equal or greater aggressors concerning the fighting in Crimea & the Donbas w/pro-Russian groups… guess what I’m asking is do you think zalenskyy is compromised by the west or nationalists at all? And how much would you say the in-fighting has played into this outside of just the NATO move? *oh and lastly, do you think maintaining Eurasian ties instead of having the move towards European/western ties in 2014 could’ve kept Ukraine independent? As in could Ukrainians-Rus ties have been kept in good standing without Putin attempting to assimilate your country back into his control/made it a Vassal government ?

We Slavs do have that in common. That is why, while living in Germany, I smelled bullshit even back in my school days (even back then they called me a Putin-lover) and particularly during the covid pandemic. Now people say that I am a "Schwurbler", a tinfoil-hat-wearing weirdo for not getting my shots, but I have the mistrust of the government ingrained in my Russo-ukrainian DNA.

Russia's fighting NATO in Ukraine 😉❇ aka kazarian mafia

I understand from Canada light as well! Minnesota 🙂

Canadians living in Canada are some of the most brainwashed people on Earth currently. Trudeau has done an amazing job of becoming a dictator and beating down the will of all freedom loving Canadians. The good news is that he is evil, corrupt and seems to believe all his lies - in other words, a psychopath. Psychopaths eventually mess up enough and get found out, even by the dumbest segments of a population.

fellow cdn in the same boat.

LOL! Sit down Klownvoy Karen.

Nobody asked you

Hear me out. You're right. General statements like that atent good. However, there are clearly a good chunk of the russian population, possibly majority? Idunno. Anyway, plenty of Russians do not believe there is any propaganda going on.

russian here too, our propaganda is on level fox or CNN can only dream of

​​​@Leon B yeah i laughed at that part.. wtf

Lex is full of crap. Since the start of Operation he got emotional and promised that he would meet Putin. This is the same Lex that had the Head of Pfizer and made him out to be a great man saving humanity. Zelensky is balls deep into the WEF, he will rebuild Ukraine as a digital surveillance state that is his plan.

What parts?

@@davidsbgr the answers in general are very vague. i would be more impressed if someone came on and brought facts from both sides... like for instance to mention that the Azov battalion were neo-nazis. Or that Ukraine banned Russian from being taught as the primary language in school. I mean, those things are pretty big, it's obvious you would lose a lot of support from Russian speaking areas if you banned their language from being taught...

@@Writeous0ne hahahah don't tell me you still believe that neo nazi bullshit. Meanwhile, Russia is full of Wagner members, even Putin's close people are tattooed SS members. Russia is there to steal oil, gas and food and literally nothing else. In 2012 Ukraine has found massive amounts of oil and gas, how conveniently, it's FuLL oF NAzIs and it needs to be DeNAziFIed hahahah...

Every Eddie bravo episode

With a far less important question.

Wasn't Joe's best interview. Wanted to hear Lex's explanation of the difference between corruption in Ukraine and Russia.

He was a communist.

I don't think he'd have served for four terms if he hadn't done them. One could imply those chats were propaganda too, no? 🤔

I mean it wasn't even revealed he was wheelchair bound until after his death, that's a pretty big ommison right there.

@@javimiami92 Why is that of anyone's business?

@@ricomajestic WE MUST KNOW IF OUR PRESIDENT WALKS!

Exactly, they're talking like a 70+ year old man should be looking like them at 40. Putin looks as great for his age as he could be.

"The Double standards and the hypocrisy of this clip is unbelievable." Enlighten us on what reality is then please, don't just pout and not provide a solution.

@Ouchwitz Summer Camp LLC I've heard quite a few perspectives, it doesn't mean I automatically know what someone else does. Don't be simple.

@Ouchwitz Summer Camp LLC For you to assume I'm only on youtube makes you the simpleton. Stop arguing with imaginary people in your head. There are dozens of people complaining about Lex's "analysis, and they offer nothing in return of value. I guess that is too hard to do. I don't know why that is difficult for you, but okay. Actually, why are you even talking?

@@davidreese6519 I'm not here to enlighten you because i'm not enlightened myself, Just don't be biased and look at things outside of the box, if you don't see the double standards and the hypocrisy then it's your problem.

@Ouchwitz Summer Camp LLC You should change your name because you seem like the product of a bigger propaganda.

Still I think it's amazing that Lex can have a platform as big as his even with his Asperger's. He really puts himself out there even though it's apparent he has difficulty communicating normally. I love that guy

What's left to say after the Blood of Every Notable Army has been spilt on this Soil? Dead Fathers make Angry Sons. They can point in any direction and lay Rightful Blame for the situation there. Aside from Northeast, any direction of the Compass points to a group of people interested in it's control. London or Baghdad. Moskow, St Pete, Konigsberg or New Delhi, Beijing, Tokyo Washington DC, New York, Salt Lake City, Houston, Chicago....all for different reasons. Ukraine is stuck in the middle of a See Saw that has a seat for every Idiology History has Produced. Organized Religions and Governments have hated this place because it's people refuse to buy the propaganda. It's really easy to tell what is B.S. when you are privy to All the Narratives. How can Lex look at us all, and say that his parents or their parents were Lucky enough to Leave that Situation Behind? Smart Enough? Available to the CIA for debriefing? And not offend Aunts, Uncles, and cousins? Not disgrace the proud memory of those buried and gone. How do you tell the World not to pull the string again? How about we ask ourselves... how this man got his last name, then look back at the History written by all the propagandists, and be honest with ourselves.

That's the problem

Did you see his comment above?

What is he sugar coating?

That's why their called martyrs. At least he's alive. Can't say that for MLK, Ghandi or Jesus.

@@josephgriffin2388 Martyrs and Saints I believe I'm familiar with those terms couldn't agree more.

Lex is a little 🐍

What happend?

He has friends and family in Ukraine and Russia and is in contact with them. Lex says it is really getting to him in the full podcast. He said he is planning on traveling to Ukraine in the near future.

The urge to mother Lex is real.

Well said Sir!

Absolutely 100% spot on! As an Eastern European myself I feel the exact same way

What do you mean? Do you recommend any legitimate sources from where to get the real picture?

Have you seen Ukraine on Fire on KZhead by Burning tree production? If so how accurate is it?

@usuckcocklol it’s nothing but complex, especially given the geopolitical history of the region and it’s relationship with Europe. Putin is neither Hitler nor Mugabe. Anyway, at the end of the day it’s the innocent who die while the powerful play their games. God help them.
