What a shame that it had to end like this...

The difference between you and Gonzalo is that he has the balls to say what he thinks.

He has 2 children in Ukraine and currently going through a divorce. Maybe that's why he didn't leave

I'm from Afghanistan and my country was once invaded by both Russians and the USA. I gotta tell you that what Gonzalo Lira was reporting about the war and Russian invasion in Ukraine, was EXACTLY how Russians invaded Afghanistan. In the same way, what Americans did in Afghanistan was EXACTLY how they did in Iraq. He was telling the TRUTH and the West didn't like it.

the lazer pig debate was an utter disaster

I personally met gonzalo lira in the red light district of Amsterdam several year ago.

"Not even intelligence can save one from their delusions." Very strong words of advice. Thank you.

His opinions might've been valid, (everyone is entitled to their opinions), but he failed to "read the room" and assess the situation at hand, (massively!). And that was to his demise.

His ego got him killed. For how smart he was,he failed to realise the wolves were at the gate.

I don’t know if this is true or not but I heard a rumor that CRP/Gonzalo Lira had some heart condition and had a few years max to live. This would sort of explain it maybe he just had an end life crisis and wanted to die a martyr or something crazy. This makes more sense to me then anything else. Whatever happened to him it was pretty brutal he looks 20 years older. His actions seem like someone desperate for some sort of meaning in life. I think he was hoping that this war would give him a last sense of fulfillment

Haters gonna hate...

His fault was that someone killd him?

К сожалению за правду СБУ Украины убило Гонсало… он просидел в тюрьме 8 месяцев где над ним издевались и в конце убили… Гонсало, спасибо тебе за смелость, за правду…😔мои соболезнования близким и светлая память честному журналисту, вы на вес золота…

I found his channel in a middle of a depression of divorce . I found that all his videos about women nature to be true and it helped a lot to overcome my dark night thru correcting my wrong beliefs about female nature . Some of his videos were so rich in knowledge that I shared the to my teen daughters. Then he started to talk about politics and lost interest. I don't follow politics, but I know he speaks truth and if he is in jail because his speech I am not surprised. Jesus did the same thing and ended up dead in a cross. All people who are awaking other are being silenced by the one who governs this planet. We all know this fact . Since we all know there is no need to awake people in public . They can not control what we talk with our relatives and friends

He had his opinions and he stuck with them. That's respectable. Such people eventually become legends. That's not a downfall. However, if that's the case, one should conclude that there is a downfall waiting for everyone in the end. The only difference is that most people don't have a video(s) made about them, but he did.

Gonzalo's Roundtable discussions on geopolitics using his contacts were some of the best on the internet. No one since has picked up this banner. I find it pretty audacious that some progressives find Gonzalo to be amoral, as it's abit of the pot calling the kettle black. I do agree that he should've tried a "Sound of Music" escape, instead of using an Ukraine/ Hungary checkpoint.

I don't disagree with some of what you say. I for sure would have picked up my family and got out of Ukrain asap. That was his responsibility to do and he didnt do it. But your take away that journalists "should keep their mouths shut" makes absolutely no sense.

Gonzalo's story is genuinely tragic.

His wife divorsed him a few years ago. This might be why he was playing with fire in the end. His great lovers advice didnt work for him. His preference for russian type women slapped him in the face.

If he had lost touch with reality, why was he persecuted/prosecuted? and eventually killed...?

I dont care what people think about him but CRP had a huge positive impact in my life. I listen and watched all of his vidoes and He helped me grow a lot as a man, possibly more than I would ever had grown on my own. He will always have a big influence on me

Coach Red Pill helped a lot of young gentleman become men. I'm sorry but that is a win in my eyes. It wasn't a downfall, even if he is no longer around (Nothing is confirmed btw). Its a legacy...

Gonzalo Lyra and the character Cicero portrayed in HBO "Rome" remind me of the same archetype, although I know he couldn't stay quiet to save his life, I thank the guy he never allowed them to silence him, his sacrifice exposed the disgraced corruption of Joe Biden administration and the Threat to democracy it poses,the echo of his demise will move others to do something about this.

Look: my two cents on this. The war changed us all. As did the pan de mic. These great global conflicts change everybody’s life. This is just an extreme case. But I could mention a lot of KZfaqrs that totally changed their narrative. I even saw people on the right and left come together for or against a position on this war. Every political/social related KZfaq channel took a position on this. I will tell you my case, which is not important, but may help. I befriended a lot of right-wing liberals (neocons) during the vi rus. But then, when this all happened I took distance from them and became far more conservative and “warmonger”. My reason: I loved Russian culture since very young and their country had close historical relationships with mine (Argentina). So, this is not the exception, this is more like the rule. It’s a history’s turning point, as they call them, and it changes us all, whether we like it or not, whether we’re conscious thereof or not. Great video. R I P Gonzalo. And also R I P people from the other side. Good manners don’t take bravery away, as we here say.

Save this and watch it again when you develop your brain.

is he alive? I pray he is free from all this. and have another opportunity to start over.

Rest in peace! Gonzalo Lira has impacted many through his brutally honest videos. In essence, he is a hero for standing in what he believed in. The person who did this video in critics of Coach Red Pill is a hater and gossiper at best.

R.i.p gonzallo lira .

He has the same view as most Americans, why are we paying for a war in Ukraine. Joe.

He grew up in Chile, where there was this Pinochet regime. Coming from a wealthy family, he could move to the States easily. I guess he believed in the right of free speech as an American. Since the West supports Ukraine for their "freedom" and "Western values" he did not shut his mouth and showed how false and delusory the West's agenda is. I think, he is totally in touch with reality and it's a shame, that the States do not interfere at all. It also shows that free speech as a Western value does not exist anymore.

I have watched this man for a long time and I saw his decent into madness. It was really sad, cause before he became a conspiracy theory nut, his videos on women and how to get girls and other things were something that pulled me out of my depression.

This guy was a narcissist simpleton whose philosophy on life was about as sound as a carbon fiber submarine.

This man was imprisoned simply for having an opinion. Nevermind who he is or what his past may have been. He was an objective reporter on the conflict in the Ukraine.

Coach red pill is a genius/saint and i understand why you dont get what he was saying.

Gonzalo has always been as transparent and straigh-forward as the best journalists. Frankly, an outstanding character from a myriad of perspectives. The oversimplification and arrogance shown here are beyond arrogant pathetic. I would strongly suggest studying the source (it Will be worth your while!), and considering THIS source objectively, for what it is.

Ukraine has had a very difficult history. Millions starved or were deleted during the 1930s & 40s. Ukrainians are tough & resilient. So, when Coach Red Pill, who resided in Ukraine, actively criticized both the presidents of Ukraine & the United States as a journalist, what could possibly go wrong? Unfortunately, plenty for him

Gonzalo an inteligent person, lol

He passed away in Ukraine

Homie went off the reservation

I wish all journalists would just be reporting the events and not take sides and let the audience choose where to stand, but here we are another dude trying to think on behalf of us all

Fact of the matter is that Lira managed to make contact with John Mark Dugan who offered to get Lira out of Ukraine. Dugan knew people who had successfully smuggled people out of Ukraine before. Firstly, Lira was told that his motorcycle would have to be left behind. Lira refused. Secondly, Lira was told to keep the details a secret. Lira didn't. Lira went and communicated with other people that Dugan was helping him to get out. Dugan found out that the person Lira was speaking to was known to be untrustworthy and unreliable. Dugan had no choice but to back out or risk having people he knew get in trouble with the authorities. Of course it doesn't help that Lira smoked despite the fact that he had known for some years that he had a heart condition.... but I suppose it's easier to blame Ukraine instead.

... because his views differ from yours doesn't make it incorrect

You're missing out A LOT of details here and I think it's giving you a somewhat skewed impression of the situation.I'll fill it with what I know. He owns three apartments in Ukraine, one of these now belongs to his ex-wife and family. He had traveled to Ukraine as a sex tourist, would later meet his second wife, who then divorced him over quite serious domestic abuse allegations. He was arrested the first time for taking pictures of Ukranian defensive positions around Kherson, the police seized his cameras and laptop and found he had been communicating with either pro-Russian, or actual Russian (unclear which) individuals who had advertised money in exchange for locations and pictures of UA defensive positions. During interrogation he allegedly gave up the names of several others who were involved and was given the option of remaining in Ukraine under house arrest to face trial at a later date, or be deported. According to local police he originally chose house arrest, but became paranoid that RU forces were coming to assassinate him for giving up those names so asked to be deported. He was put on a train to Poland. Sometime after he started to claim he was *still* in Ukraine but refused to offer any evidence of this. During a different situation, a girl who ran a podcast interviewing various Pro-Russian voices in the Ukraine war, who claimed to be a Jewish girl living in Donbass, was found to actully be an American national living in Washington state. She was indentified as being part of a group which had leaked classified intel to Russia Today and was arrested. During interigation she allegedly gave-up the location of Gonzalo Lira, proving that he was infact still living in Ukraine. He was arrested again and this time charged with illegal immigration, intent to disrupt the war effort, and to provide intelligence to a forgin power at the risk to national security. He was later released on bail awaiting trail and was told not to leave the region, but would later live stream himself cycling to the Hungarian border with the intent to seek asylum. He was arrested as the border crossing, handed back to Ukranian police, and currently resides in an open air prison just outside of Lviv.

Powerful end note

I’m not rejoicing in Gonzalo Lira’s death, but I don’t feel sorry for him either. What was he thinking staying in a war zone? When he was alive he had a bit a reputation for being a grifter, and he gave awful dating advice.

He's no "war reporter" whatsoever! He's a youtuber and pundit. Period. He did absolutely no war reporting 🤦🤦‍♂️

He died from pneumonia in Ukraine.

There was no downfall he just got captured

Gonzalo is a legend. Great man 👑

So you know, he's now confirmed dead as of 12.01.2024.

never heard of him before but it sounds interesting

I miss him

Very sensible observations, but i personally would not rule out that he was recruited by the russians.

Yap, yap, yap ...I'd like to see you accomplish ONE day of the accomplishments of Gonzalo Lira's life.

You don't know what you are talking about. Coach Red Pill was/is a solid, sane, and well-grounded man.

Better than your feet delivered on your knees if he died for what he believed, it’s OK

He openly admitted to his faults which is not usual for someone who is amoral and so i challenge your thesis. He liked the tough/brave guy stance but that is who he was.Not false. He was free spirit and pushed boundaries.People like that will clash with authorities almost always. He might well have had some sort of martyr complex brought on by ill health or midlife divorce crisis

Tú también eres chileno??

So "he could not keep his mouth shut".....this comment says a little about Coach, and says a lot about you. He has beliefs, and the balls to support his beliefs! A rare breed of human nowadays... R.I.P. Gonzalo Lira!!!

RIP Coach

RIP

Can you do Lord Miles? He also went to Ukraine, as well as Afghanistan

0% correct

He's in prison, if anyone cares.

He can show his face in every video. He’s not a coward.

Why do people think he was a dating coach? He never gave advice on dating.

You should do a comparison with Earnest Hemingway in WWII. He seemed to be going through a similar phase, and he ran around in an American military uniform, with an entourage, trying to be a sort of war reporter and celebrity hero. I heard he wanted to carry a sidearm, but the military wouldn't let him. Real soldiers thought it was nutty, but he was indulged.

Is he alive after his eacape attempt?

Gonzalo has done much service to us all by reporting the truth. this video is just a stupid hit piece. To the authors I wish all the worst upon them and their loveones.

All in all, I think in the end Gonzalo wanted to die. He probably couldn’t find anything that gave him a sense of purpose and meaning anymore, which is common in older men.and the internet fame went to his head the wrong way. Wartime is no joke and people don’t fuck around with disloyalty/dissent when their friends and loved ones have been killed behind all this shit.. I enjoyed most of his content though and they did help me out in numerous ways

Strange video. Contrary to what you are saying about Gonzalo I think u are the one loosing touch with reality. The guy made fantastic content. He gave Excellent advice for young men on many life topics that are relevant to them. He specifically stated that he made those videos basically for his kids cause he didn’t think he would be around when they would need this advice. He was also a believer of free speech. He couldn’t leave Ukraine cause he got arrested for what he said. Then he tried to flea and he got arrested and imprisoned and so on and so forth. You should show this man some respect. He produced fabulous content and was way more entertaining than yourself. I only listened to your video because of his name. Only writing a comment cause your narrative makes me react. Like I said show the man some respect , get your facts straight and make the correct and logical conclusions

👍 he just wouldn't shut up and hide away to leave Ukraine. . I think he wanted to die. Very strage character CRP was.

He should have left Ukraine early on. I wish he did. I liked listening to him, he was funny, he had interesting takes on things. But now, his children don't have a father. And that sucks.

What an elaborate piece of apology for killing journalists

I didn’t agree with most of what Gonzalo said. However, he was a charismatic figure, and he never said anything that should’ve resulted in him being arrested and certainly didn’t deserve what the end result was.

GONZALO IS A MY HERO ❤

Rest in Peace. He was too brave in criticising and exposing Western bullshit

CRP made better videos then what you’re trying to do here

He’s a goofball, and truly is an internet character. He’s not smashing models like he used to brag about in his videos. He’s not some dating expert. He’s just a good videographer which helps the presentation of his content to look more legitimate. That’s about it. He knew there were bitter older men burned by divorce, and he got into red pill. Then realized there are young men who get no action, and made content about dating for them. Eventually he had nothing going for him, and went down this rabbit hole of “the west is doomed” and moved to Ukraine (literally nobody cared about his videos at this point). He looks like a film professor trying to play as some Casanova, that’s the only credit he gets.

It surprises me how wholly CRP's stint rubbing elbows with the alt-right seems to have disappeared, but linking him with pro-Russian sentiment connects many dots for me in that regard

15:25 - Very good point. Elon Musk is an example of that, and there are many other too. Power corrupts.

"he could not keep his mouth shut"... and your other words and the tones of your words are not nice.

You’re making sense in all❤

What qualifications, research, and life experiences does the creator of this video have to make any sort of valid character assessment of any person? The video should be re-titled “My Very Subjective OPINION About a Person I Know Almost Nothing About From a Gen Zers Feelings Before Facts Perspective”

R.I.P. He was a good guy with a good heart although a bit extravagant and controversial ... He was honest about his shortcomings and even joked about himself that he was an @-hole.... So he never claimed to be a saint, but he was brutally honest and spoke his mind. Dude was quite intelligent as well and had interesting takes on life and geopolitics. So tragic the way it happened. Condolences to his family and loved ones.

What I learnt from his downfall is that supporting Ukraine for "freedom" is a big joke.

I don't think Ukraine was purely contrarian - although you are right that is a big trap for the right. I remember when the Trump hearing started I - as an European - was kind of flabberghasted that they were arguing about an insignificant and probably highly corrupt eastern European nation. I guess had I paid attention to such politics, which generally don't interest me, it wouldn't be that surprising. In retrospect I think it is indeed kind of like in the video game Victoria 2. As a big nation you can pour influence a small nation to get it as an ally. So in the case of say Java it could be both Britain and Japan trying to win and, well, the loser of that race might just try to invade. And I think that kind of happened here. Except that the US seems to be split between two different houses who are infighting. And I've come to understand that my countries government will always be on the side of the Democrats. Well ... coincidentally of course. So, yeah, I'm not happy about it, being dragged into a proxy war for people who certainly do not have my best interests at heart. Does that make me pro-russian? No, but of course I would not mention my opinion in public. So that's a nice red pill, I guess, the world is a video game and we are the npcs. Colonialism v2. Anyway, as for CRP, I agree, he was very unhinged in that time. We can only speculate what brought him there. But I guess we can say it in the words of that one musician. Perhaps he thought it is better to burn out than to fade away. Did it work? I think not. Still an interesting piece of internet history.

Is coach red pill dead?

Nice hit piece dude

I think he got adicted to the fame and attention. To stay relevant he started doing crazy things

Now he’s dead as of three days ago confirmed by his father

Loved watching his MGTOW content. A damn shame all those videos are gone. I wonder if I can find his original content somewhere 🤔

Maybe he didn’t leave because his assets were frozen. Maybe he was broke. Why would anyone wealthy want to live there? He never took care of himself. He was subsiding on cigarettes and coffee. He looked unkempt and dirty. He probably had health issues, knew he was on his way out of here so he stayed put.

RIP Gonzalo , he was on thier list and thye got him finally

Interessanter Beitrag zum Fall Lira. Der größte Teil der Charakteranalyse überzeugt mich. Allerdings denke ich, dass der Teil bezüglich der redpill bzw. Mgtow (es gibt Unterschiede, aber die sind gar nicht so leicht zu erklären und jeder sieht sie etwas unterschiedlich) Teile etwas undifferenziert sind. Ohne zu nahe treten zu wollen, halte ich es für wahrscheinlich, dass das aufgrund der mangelnden Lebenserfahrung herrührt. Ein junger Mann Mitte bis Ende 20 hat sicherlich auch bereits so manche Enttäuschung und so manchen Schmerz durch die Frauenwelt erleiden müssen, um mitsprechen zu können und sich eine Meinung zu bilden, aber dieser Erkenntnisprozess erweitert sich mitunter mit den Jahrzehnten. In manchen Fällen in einer sehr negativen Art und Weise. Jedenfalls bezweifle ich, dass die meisten 20-jährigen Männer bereits die "Gelegenheit" hatten, beobachten zu können, dass es systemische Dynamiken sind, welche die modernen Beziehungen/Ehen/Familien plagen, destabilisieren oder geradezu zum Scheitern verurteilen. Im Westen werden 80% aller Trennungen von Frauen initiiert. Manchmal schlichtweg, weil ihnen "die Schmetterlinge im Bauch" fehlen, also eine völlig normale gewisse Langeweile und Ernüchterung eingekehrt ist, die in früheren Generationen völlig natürlich gewesen ist und eben kein Trennungsgrund darstellte. Und wenn man dann mal 40-50 geworden ist und mitbekommt, wie eine Partnerschaft/Ehe/Familie neben der Anderen zerbricht und von den Frauen aufgelöst wird, weil eine gewisse Konsumhaltung ggü. Partnern an den Tag gelegt wird (Stichwort: lieber ersetzen als auch nur zu versuchen die Entität zu reparieren), dann kann man schon an einen Punkt geraten, wo man sich die Frage stellen muss, was das Ganze eigentlich noch überhaupt soll? Eine Partnerin zu finden ist heute schon schwierig genug (z.B. werden Männer mit 5.7'' inch Körpergröße und kleiner auf Datingplatformen von 90% aller Benutzerinnen bereits vorab per Suchfilter entfernt, völlig unabhängig davon, was für Fotos oder Informationen auf ihrem Profil präsentiert werden), dann aber mit hoher Wahrscheinlichkeit (fifty-fifty im Westen) mit ansehen zu müssen, wie der Partner die langjährige Beziehung einfach aufbricht, ohne auch nur mit einem Wort je formuliert zu haben, dass ihn etwas stört, vielleicht noch gemeinsame Kinder zu haben, bei der die Mutter (sollte sie auf die Idee kommen) dank einseitiger Trennungsjuristik ohne allzu große Schwierigkeiten sogar ein Kontaktverbot erwirken könnte? Im angloamerikanischen Raum sagt man "the juice ain't worth the squeeze anymore". Was wir gerade bewundern können ist das Wiederaufkommen von Polygamie im großen Stil: die durchschnittliche Frau würde sich lieber einen Top-Mann mit anderen Frauen teilen, als einen durchschnittlichen Otto-Normalmann ganz für sich alleine haben. Man muss kein großer Analyst sein, um zu erkennen, dass das im großen Stile unsere Gesellschaft(en) destabilisieren wird. Denn junge Männer deren Leben sinnlos geworden sind, stellen eine der gefährlichsten Kreaturen auf dem Planeten dar, wenn sie sich versammeln und zurückschlagen, sollte die Betäubung durch Konsum, Pornographie und Videospiele eines Tages nicht mehr fruchten. Es gibt ein Sprichwort, scheinbar aus Afrika, welches mir dazu passend erscheint: "The boy who has not been embraced by society, will burn down the village to feel it's warmth." Ich selbst habe Lira nur am Rande gesehen, obwohl er regelmäßig von anderen Kanälen erwähnt wurde (und mitunter auch einmal interviewed), kann daher nicht im Detail zu seinem red pill Content Stellung beziehen, aber ich hoffe, ich konnte deutlich machen, warum ich Dein Resumee über die PHILOSOPHIE (nicht das richtige Wort, aber es ist ganz sicher auch keine Bewegung, daher erscheint mir das dennoch passender) als etwas zu einseitig abwertend empfand. PS: Es haben ja im Kommentarbereich Einige darauf hingewiesen, dass Lira (IIRC) darauf hinwies, dass er schwer krank sei (und seine Tage wohl tendenziell gezählt seien). Da erscheint sein riskantes Verhalten zum Ende hin doch weniger unsinnig, als wenn er noch Jahrzehnte vor sich gehabt hätte. "It's better to burn out than to fade away." (Neil Young)

He was just murdered by Ukraine for trying to leave

I,M AT 10 mins, i hava a suggestion/request. analyze his cheersquad supporters, what percentage of these might be bots, ruzzians paid comments etc. it would certainly be very interesting. i think the best word to describe him is unhinged (which you also used)or deranged. i refer to him as gonzo peso..... (maybe he ABSOLUTELY loathed his ex wife, to such a degree he became what he did!??ie anti ukrainian)

If you find CRP unpalletbl but are interested in the dating advice maby Coach Corey Wayn is more for you.

Rest in Pepperoni

Maybe you don't have as many life experience as CRP, but you're clearly smart by default.
