Funnier than discussion of the geopolitics of the Society for Worldwide Interbank Financial Telecommunications?

Binary & Tweed
No that was about asset manager capitalism. This is SWIFT, which has been a focus of the recent news on sanctions.

So Davos is pretty much a dolled up Dissensus, then?

I imagine they have much worse music, but also much better food and drink and a far less sausage-heavy sex ratio.

@luka do you know this guy who is mates with Lewis and some of that lot,... fuck I can't remember his name, I think he's a bit of a wanker to be honest. But there was quite a funny story when he was walking down the canal in Hackney and some hipster rode past on his bike beeping and stuff so this guy really for no reason did this huge flying kick and booted him off his bike into the canal.
Edit: apologies for interjecting with utter shit on what should be a more serious thread. Sorry I really don't have too much to say on this and I should probably just keep my mouth shut. I know that for Liza it's a nightmare that people keep wanting to talk to her about it, or worse just assume that she is some sort of proxy for Russia whose allegiances they can predict and then criticise. In fact she is far from pro-Putin and even if she were, I get the impression that this particular act has actually caused a few to question their faith.

what's the gist of it?

There's a poster outside my house that someone has put up that says 'save Ukraine'. There's something uncomfortable about all of this for me - I think it's the vague sense that at some point it will look like everyone has backed one side in what might become an insurgency. I know the sentiment doesn't necessarily come from a militaristic place. But there's at least the possibilty that europe and the west could soon enough be funneling resources to one side in that war.

Also the fact that this support will last about five minutes and then will fade away

I never watch videos that people put up on threads like that one but for some reason I thought that it was time for me to make a change and that I should start to improve myself and begin to learn something from all the knowledgeable people that congregate here. So I watched that video... or a few minutes of it, sadly it was so fucking boring I had to give up. At first I was thinking "Why is this video being shared here, what am i expected to learn?" and then after a while I thought "Why is he talking? Why are they listening? What is the point of this video at all?" and then I thought "Why am I watching?" and then I wasn't.
