    Der Typ ist extrem gefährlich. Er ist ein absoluter Libertärer Geist. Einer Indologie, die ehemalige russischen Adlige ( Die übelste Lebensform des Planten ever) aus einer theoretischen Funktion der Volkswirtschaftslehre (eine Art Gegen Position in einer Spieltheorie)
    übernommen haben, um ihre widerliche Menschenverachtung in eine ideologische Hülle zu gießen, die zur neuen Stellung in der Welt passte (Extremes Vermögen, keinen Wert für die Welt, keine relevante Aufgabe , aber das Maximum an Hass auf alle normalen Menschen). 
    Die neue Mafia Elite in Russland ist sozusagen der Eiter, der Post Zaren Time .

    western democracies are a joke and hypocrisy, the alleged lands of free speech and freedom can't even have one App which is not under its control.
    is there anyone who still believe that the west is a huge dictatorship?

    The good old pathetic soviet trick 😂
    Make a social media app urself , fire and exile the CEO from ur country , now everybody think the app doesnt have anything with u !

    This trick is so famous that i can say with 100% certainty, the "libertarian" guy of our story , sends all users data to rrussia every day.

    Let's be real if I had abs like that I would also never wear a shirt. People need a way to communicate without the government having access. It may facilitate crime but it also is the only way for people to rise up against dictatorships like Russia.

    Another great video really good job WSM.

    Unfortunately for him, he's not American, because if he was American, he'd have access to the stock market.
    Where discipline is gone and every company's valuation is insane

    Free speech absolutist?

    We know what that means. It means people like Alex Jones (Infowars).

    "Speech is free, but lies you have to pay for" – lawyer representing families in class action law suit against him, which he lost, and is now facing bankruptcy.
