My anger is replaced by gratitude when I listen voices such as yours. thankyou.

the subtlety of these conversations is inspiring

Ece is right. We need to tease out the exact right words in order to communicate to people what is important about this moment and the urgency of where we are. To stop people just throwing up their hands and giving up. To rally them.

I’m SO relieved and happy to see (hear) Ece Temelkuran… it’s been a while, and I’m steadily thinking of her. I read her book a long while ago, and yes - it WAS life changing. Love from a 4-year DiEM’er and the fresh Oslo Collective to all of you - and a little extra for Ece…! ❤️👍

I love the reflective nature of this particular episode, facilitated by a deep humility. This conversation will sit with me for a long time I hope.

Don't defeat the enemy, overcome the Enmity.

Finally..getting to the heart and soul of these issues

She is emotionally brilliant! Thx you Ms. Ece

I really enjoyed listening to all three of you. I appreciate your slow delivery and very precise use of language. In a world of babbled slogans it was very calm and thought provoking and gave me time to reflect on all the important notions you touched on. Thank you.

The best “iron dome” is love for your neighbor.

Thank you Yanis for your channel in sharing all these wonderful discussions with us. X

Thank you for this podcast - an oasis in the desert! ... Each and every one of us has to realize what our common ideals mean to us personally. Only then can we live up to those ideals collectively.

Thank you. A big hug for the 3 of you all the way from Mexico

Incredible conversation about faith.

I love listening to this channel. I learn a lot about our history which can be very hard to face and acknowledge. But we must if we wish for a better world for all. We have accept the darkness of our country's own doing and stop pointing the finger at others.

I'm a social Leper. I'm a Communist trying to survive in England the home of Empire and almost engulfed by idiocy and ignorance and a prejudice to my celibacy and refusal also to violence. After three attempts on my life, twice sexually assaulted and numerous death threats I travelled to Belguim last year to seek euthanasia. I live with my dog and an anger which lays within me unabated. It gives me tremendous hope that because of solid people like these two campaigners that common sense can prevail. My endearing vision is to see Russia before I'm gone and I send my deepest regards to all those 'Bolshevics' out there because we seem to be a rare species now dealing with an automated media that discriminates as easy as taking candy. The only beneficiaries to suffering seem to be the rich and ugly who batter my door demanding things I do not possess. I miss my father and mother who survived the second world war to raise me as a honourable man. My saviour is Christ who awaits my arrival. For you dear friends may the days be long and the water bright upon your face every morning. Das Vadanya.

What a trio

I am so grateful, and the world owes a lot to you for bringing the actual state of the world and the countries perpetrating, such unimaginable crimes, act's of genocide, warmongering, gun running, money laundering, and sending people into poverty, sickness, and death.

Immensely nourishing conversation. Thank you!

I am thankful y'all are sharing these discussions.

What a brilliant response to the first question about experience about exile. And such an inspiring discussion. Very good to know Ece

Optimism for me means that the path I've chosen is good and honorable.

Bravo Raul, Ace & Yanks. Magnificent conversation. Now is the time to place one’s fidelity in their Interior Guiance System (IGS)!

She said it is difficult to commodify attention and determination. Interestingly, Instagram now gives you rewards, depending on how often you post and how often your posts are liked. My teens are fully engaged now to get those rewards.

Thank you! I love birh of you, for your courage, genuine caring, and doing something, about it.

So much of this discussion touches on so many of my thoughts lately & then builds on them. Thank you.

Danke Y,Varoufakis for Peace work.

What a contribution for all to hear, and I want to thank all of you and embrace your hearts to be able to be dailey to walk through fear with courage with faithful steps with attention high and low to be able to see with a new perception of the importance of what it means to be alive. Furthermore, for those lives of Palestinians who have endured years of wars and greed by governments who are blinded, as in many other countries and indigenous cultures everywhere. 🙏❤️🌍🌿🕊🎵🎶🎵

The story about the Canadian mining company is amazing.

When future generations look back…….they will look at Yanis as the greatest modern philosopher economist.

Good job

Şimdi ben buraya bir atasözü yazıyorum. sonuna kadar izledikten sonra gelip tekrar okuyasınız diye: Umut fakirin ekmeğidir. (sömürücü sınıfların yol açtığı şeyin adı da yoksulluktur) & WE WANT MORE of Ece & Yanis recordings. The fragile hope needs that. More more more...

To all vagabonds: the need to get away from fear, doubt and hate. At our core must be truth, courage and love.

Love Both of You!❤

Hope is what gives us the courage to struggle. Hope is seeing that dim light at the end of the tunnel.

Inhumanity thrives on diving our humanity against ourselves and against each other. Come together for a better human world that is not sold out, that we create with each other.

Great discussion

Brilliant

I have always believed in he essential good nature of people while understanding that what people experience can overlay this essence and lead them to act in ways that are selfish and harmful to others. This also relates to free speech in that nothing that is said truly from the heart should be censored even though it may hurt some. The task is not to condemn but to understand why they would feel so strongly that what they had to say was more important than the feelings of others. We are, in a sense, all refugees from our past looking for a better life. Those that are unable to confront their own past want to close the door to those that come knocking lest they be drawn into that awareness and experience the fear of what they may suffer. Fear is the key. Banish that and we can all make the journey.

She's speaking about Anger as one who is viewing it where she is living.

The power of anger is needed to start the wheels of resistance turning. Once the wheels are in motion more sophisticated emotions and skills are needed to keep them turning for people.

I think anger as an emotion is not sustainable because it’s not meant to be: The function of anger is as a signal; it tells us “Something isn’t right.” So we must heed the signal and look to identify what it was that sparked the anger, and what, if anything, can be done about it. Anger is quelled by understanding and action. We must heed the signal and, one might say, turn our *attention* to what we want to do, need to do, have to do about it. Anger is a signal. Rage is a passion. Rage sometimes burns and sometimes smolders, and helps to power our struggle against what has enraged us.

Add daniel schmachtenberger to these conversations...

The way our countries and governments are structured has to be changed and improved. Our social values has to be improved. Without it we will just keep running circles. As it stands today the more powerful your country is the more evil it is. The way we treat each other is pathetic and our laws and rules are insufficient and our culture is out of order

Thank you again for these interesting discussions. I would like to understand better why some progressives defend and support regimes such as those in Venezuela which claim to be "socialists" and a government to and for the people when they are not, when they do not allow international monitors to be there for elections, when they silence the opposition, and when they torture and sometimes kill protesters. I am more of the line of thought of socialism than capitalism, but when I see how ideologies are manipulated for the benefit of the few, I lose faith and hope in any of it and can not see myself supporting people like Corbyn, or the Tories, or US politics. Also, another question is how to avoid authoritarian regimes with Socialism. Thank you. E

My anger runneth over I’m afraid.

44:15 Not surprisingly, we use the same expression in Turkiye as well. “İyilik yap denize at.” However, I believe we don’t mean your good deed will hopefully float to where it must. The meaning has probably changed a little by time. We mean do good without expecting a reward in return. We also mean don’t brag about your good deeds. Throw them in the sea and forget about them.

Greeks and Turks make for a great alliance

People are not ready to withstand this terrorism.

Apathetic Anger is poison to the collective conscieousness

The link to your documentary please ?

Be of good cheer, lovely Ece! 🤔( "Green Fire", geoff nelson hill ) 🌈🦉 ( PS: Have you seen "Zuhal" ?)

Another brother in arms, Tom Morello aka The Night Watchman and lead guitarist from Rage Against the Machine ! I recommend making his acquaintance and exploring any synergy between his projects and yours 🙏

Informational Isolation as a Modern Slavery platform

Ece🎉

Left is best

39:00 so true. I am really losing hope in humanity since I am constantly exposed to the worst of our nature.

thank you optimists piss me off too

One cant forget that Atlantic Utopia once existed and that anger was commodified by the supression of languages who once utilized tihe Utopia. I agree with the Lady ftom Turkey. Italian was a forced language used to commodify facism..it worked in the Ribbentrof Pact...rather useful and mysitifying of Nazis. The point of using Arabic language that would commodify a Jerusalem in America would be abounding on two continents if the widespread use of Arabic was less topical in Europe. Unfortunately it is not the converse.

... "faith in humanity" ... I can see how that would motivate a person like Ece. For me I feel our species is aligned with self destruction ... spectacular self destruction. I do have faith that there are solutions, a way through - if you like, but we are too blind to see it. Because of the fundamental way we live life. Change in that sphere is required, without it we continue to decline. Connection; what we hold in our heart; what we place in our minds - these will provide that path, Nothing else will. To overcome the 'forces' Yanis speaks of seems impossible because it is difficult; because we have not chosen to do what is necessary ... because that path seems absurd. We will suffer for making the right choices. But it is required.

✌🏾✌🏾

Raoul you are an excellent interviewer! What about the portraits of the spanish royal family on your bibliothek....not very progressive lefty thing .... at least

Of course we must focus on Palestine and militarism which is intimately connected with Israelism. But I wish someone would stand up for the forgotten "other" victim of the Holocaust: the Roma who continue to be oppressed everywhere.

I don't know how to say it in a few (and perhaps not even in many) words ... First, for Ms. Temelkuran: our valiant free press has never told us (it's my innocent curiosity) how your native country tells its children about its drive to civilize Eastern Europe for a few good centuries ... Was it in order to teach religious tolerance to the infidels ? Was it to teach them the secrets of haute cuisine (lockum, baklava, saray[gli?], nougat, halva etc.) ? (I can't think of anything else, whence Prince/King Charles III preferred ... Transylvania!) Democracy hasn't told us yet. But I must say I was thrilled to see us represented in this chat by the homeless lady Maria - yes, for some strange reason, we do understand Italian easily - something which did not prevent others from discovering a certain „Moldavian language”. And 35 years of Democracy, plus 45 (or so) years of socialism, plus the Democracy that preceded it have not clarified this to us. Secondly, Professor Varoufakis: what are the academic/curricular standards in the schools for the masses in Democracy, sir ? How far down the list of priorities of the ”genuine Left” lies this detail ? Should I keep the faith and keep asking it (of you!) ? Your Diem newsletter seemed to ignore it too. In any case, I allow myself to tell you why you (in my view, obviously) are privileged: because you can (have the mental ability to) talk back to authorities, when they try to „sell” you/us something; the average people in the street (the overwhelmingly huge majority!) cannot - and this no longer has anything to do with (access to) the means of mass communication! Perhaps it has much to do with the academic standards in the schools for the masses, sir ? (As you know, the valiant free press blames it on pure ”brainwashing”!) Thanks.

Der Sternenhimmel über mir und das moralisch Gesetz in mir...frei nach Kant

maybe we need to erect Churches of Humanity- community centers where we can meet w the people who r seeking ways to help but cannot do so from online - we can design the counterweight to the mega Church’s where evangelicals went from the forefront of socialism to the guardians of the neoliberal order - the tax free banner of religion would allow us to raise $$$ to support the future mobilisation of society & instead of pastors or priests we have authors journalists historians scholars great thinkers & artists & so on - the power of social change is in the building of community & unlike the far right we don’t have this at all

I can't be the only progressive that doesn't trust Assange.

How about the Armenians cause? History repeats itself.

That's a big one for ya Bro 😊 Love ya Yanis my Greek Brother 🙏

Under the global colonial cult lore of sovereignty there are three main grades of servant. Honorable Leader, Sir, and Mister. All three are titles of chattel. That is, natural persons as property of a fictional sovereign. The trinity is Master, Servant, and their union as a single corporate fiction. Monopoly is the manifestation of sovereignty. Is the Israeli Shekel legal tender in Gaza and the WestBank? Are all diplomats paid with Dollars? Do almost all people accept being addressed as the title of a so-called sovereign state banker? Publish, _ARAB and JEW # CHATTEL,_ on so-called sovereign monopoly money. Remember that monopoly is slavery.

The UK and Europe both need to get out of the US Empire before they can do anything constructive, Yanis. 😟

Since when Ece Temelkuran became leftist

She is certainly not exiled. She is living out of Turkey as a choice. Using this incorrectly is like a con artist.

Is Ece as much of a socialist as she is a radical individualist - in her evocation of faith … ?

Since 2008, we have been living in a system of "Socialism for the rich, and harsh austerity for everyone else". This is not my opinion, this is an empirical fact. It cannot be argued, hairs cannot be split. Deal with it. We're already in socialism, just not the kind that actually helps society

Two things make me worry: people like you, fighters for the common good are very vulnerable. When people in power will think you are danger for them you will be attacked and will disappear as they did to Assange. The second thing is what can we do to make your opinion (and mine, as I totally agree with you )matter. People who fight for common good are most of the time ignored. Robert Reich in US always talks about the roots of evil but nothing good is coming out of this. Most of the people are uneducated and last thing in their minds is ethics. They love trump because he embodies everything wrong against common sense, religious rules, any society rules. Plus he offers hot dogs for free at his rallies and tarnish everybody who doesn’t like in the most despicable way. Despite this a big chunk of US population admire him, sent him money and gladly go to his rallies. How can your ideas can appeal to people like this? My point is if you rely on votes it is no chance to get them.

"Your Majesty, please tell Erdoğan ‘enough’ when he pops in for tea" - Ece Temelkuran in her letter to the Queen Elizabeth of GB which was published in the Guardian. This is a person who pleaded to a literal monarch that the Queen of England scolds the democratically elected leader of her own country. Now here she is talking about exile. I am someone who is being pulled towards socialism from time to time but socialists like Yanis always let me down when they give platform to the likes of Ece Temelkuran. This is not the way to fix the world as Yanis claims to be working towards. Go take a look at her "achievements" and where she was featured as a journalist/political commentator. Der Spiegel lmao. Might as well write for Jerusalem Post and call yourself a respected journalist. There is nothing to be gained from interacting with people like these. I am disappointed beyond words with this episode. Shameful honestly. And sad too because I know both Yanis and Raoul are good people at heart. Her career is built around bashing the enemies of the west, let's see her denounce Israel and Germany's support of their recent "operations".

genocide has always been there

Omg Zagreb mentioned ❤

Socialist Intellectuals in Türkiye would not take E. Temelkuran seriously for a moment. You have levelled down your youtube programme with her.

Living in Australia I've always found Turkish people have a certain determination and inner strength. I've only ever worked with them. They were hard worker's the one's I've worked with anyway. Yanis last week David Rockefeller joined my Facebook account. I allowed him to follow me then instantly blocked him. He's there when I need him. Today the Rothchilds family appeared on there. It's them on both cases no one is allowed to impersonate David Rockefeller. You no what Bro? I understand things about these people... Negative things. I find myself wanting to show them respect for there standing in this world... See I understand that you or myself could of been born into their Families. With love and compassion is going to be my approach I'm going to be representing We the People I intend to be as smart as yourself Yanis God bless you Bro Maori 🚼 Jeebus 🙏
