i gather that Y.V., seen speaking in this video, is not a favourite figure in this sub.

to expabd beyond echo chambers and raise cognitive flexibility it is important to engage critically with every side, especially since we’re all european in this sub and are entering world-wide war. so i wanna read some critique on Yanis Varoufakir from here, if you who read this would find it in your interest to share reflections from hearing this video

    I don’t waste my time anymore to listen to this pseudo-intellectual. There is much to criticize about this person, but the most obvious comes from withing his own organization. In 2022, soon after Russia invaded Ukraine, the Polish left-wing party Razem had left Varoufakis’ so-called Progressive International and ‘Democracy in Europe 2025 Movement’ (DIEM25), the reason being very revealing:

    In the absence of an unequivocal declaration recognising Ukraine’s sovereignty and an absolute condemnation of Russian imperialism by the Progressive International and the Democracy in Europe 2025 Movement, Lewica Razem ends its cooperation with these organizations.

    This person has nothing to do with democracy or anything like that. His organizations are just cultivating a personality cult around Yanis and some others that appeal to specific anti-democratic groups of which some are also here on Lemmy.
