YouTube video by VU TSPMI Daniel Vaarik - I protest. The rise and fall of United Estonia

In 2010 we created a fake political party in Estonia. Today I found an old video on Youtube - me explaining our playbook for Lithuanians. I think our populism engine, starting at 11:22 explains Trump. youtu.be/FbIB3yB1C5o?...

I have some unverifiable but plausible hypotheses, like:

The total amount of animals in the world remains the same, if you count in all the toys.

Vanarahvas ütles lihtsalt "särtsakas" v "pauk". Ikka sai asjad aetud.

Koerte nimed meenutavad lahkuvat Tallinna linnavalitsust, kasside omad seda, mis peale tulemas on.

Palu kõigil kingitusi tuua.

Üks tüüp tegi just trammis sellise chemtraili, et rahvas läks Norde Centrumi juures maha. Tavaliselt seal ei lähe keegi maha.

See kui Grünthal suuga sireeni teeb, on sohk.

Possibly the best line to describe the economy today appeared in Politico.eu: “On Reddit’s r/beer, a forum of nearly half a million brewing nerds, the mood was bleak.”

Hyper reality.

Kiu ma tahan, et minu potsitsui edsapidi rohkne jgataksn, siis kritjangi nii, riaks;

Kuidas sa saaksidki ennast sealt leida, kui sul pole tiktokki.

Võib olla tõi vabatahtlikult tagasi.

Russia has been turning ex-famous people into information mules for a long time. Actors like Gerard Depardieu and Steven Seagal, journalists like Larry King, intellectuals like Noam Chomsky and economists like Jeffrey Sachs have all blindly supported Putin's regime at some point. What's the catch?

We created this object to visualise the fact that Estonian women do signicantly more work at home than men, such unpaid tasks also make it difficult to develop a career. This kettlebar will travel around events and locations in Estonia this week. #womensday

Europe needs to step up its defence. Meanwhile you can enjoy this video about the best German mountain biker.

Time to learn Estonian.
What the fuck! = Mida perset!.

Ah, lihtsalt ära sõida neile nii palju otsa, siis pohh.

Massive Loan A Strategic Win For Russia Reports that Russia is considering offering a four-year, 4 billion-euro loan to Iceland hardly made ripples in the ocean of news coming out about the expanding global financial crisis.

I am not sure that everyone remembers, but about 17 years ago, Russia wanted to lure Iceland into its financial realm. The geopolitical background hum of melting Arctics has been there for a while. #greenland #arctics #geopolitics www.rferl.org/a/Iceland_Lo...

Minu nipp konverentsi vaheajal puhvetijärjekorra vältimiseks: söö esimesena magustoit ja teisena soolane. Ülejäänud lollid seisavad samal ajal pikemas sabas.

Ma ütlesin ka, et "much of". Midagi toimus ka Eestis, kuid ehk mitte sellel tasemel nagu USA-s. Osaliselt oli see lihtsalt algoritmiline ning näiteks teatud teema puudutamine võis lihtsalt valla päästa mingid sanktsioonid, kuid see pole ju fact checking. Samuti ilmselt massiline reportimine mõjus.

East European dudes celebrating the termination of FB fact checking, although FB in East Europe never did much of fact checking.

Jah, nõus, ei tasu olla üleolev.

Oh these glory days of Soviet childhood.

Playbook: Kelmuste lahtimuukija - Levila Levila Playbook on sari inimestest, kes teevad asju teisiti. Eelmisel aastal kaotasid Eesti inimesed kelmidele umbes 20 miljonit eurot. „Iga päev jääb kaks inimest oma säästudest ilma,” ütles politsei...

A graph depicting brand worth of Nike, Tesla, Estonia, Audi, Paypal and IKEA. Nike is the biggest, Tesla commes second, and then Estonia.

Estonia's brand, not exactly Nike, but over 3x more valuable than Ikea? (This according to Global Soft Power Index and some Estonian public officials).

Dude calls himself shadow president, proposes ski lifts instead of trams in Tallinn.

Estonia's leading business newspaper recommends to raise money by playing "responsibly and systematically in casino". Although it appears with "content marketing" label, studies have shown that more than 60% of people may not make a distinction between this and real stories.
