Ilia on JRE has surprised me big time for GOOD, but there's just one thing I don't get (and hate) about the guy

Some of you know I am (maybe "was" after that interview?) very biased against Ilia as a person. As a fighter, he's as exciting as it gets.
Probably, being from Spain, I'm overexposed and in his -too many- public appearances here he speaks like an AI trained with Coelho, Benedetti and McGregor.

Here I found a smart, interesting and likeable dude. Besides that, his English leap is HUGE so props to him.

But he lived in Georgia from 7 to 15, one of the poorest failed states in eastern Europe. He knows war and misery firsthand.
His family was humble, on the lower end of working-class, and he was too until the UFC contract.

And yet he has publicly and frequently shown his support to Spain's ultra-right party and even murky eviction* companies.
*Dunno if it's called like that. Getting someone out of an appartment for non-payment.

Obviously this alt-right stuff peeks out here and there talking with Rogan.

I’m dealing with an eviction right now and I’m definitely siding with evil eviction company at this point.

Nonpaying tenant accused me of racism, mistreating handicapped, harassment, tries not to pay because name is misspelled by one letter, the list goes on….

I just meet the lady ffs, a seemingly professional squatter, i can’t wait until trial
 
Sorry for you. No pun, for real. That's an unfair and shitty situation.

But if she's not a person at actual risk of social exclusion AND you do not own many, many real state properties... well, the police will get it done, and done fast.

At least, it works like that here in Spain.
These companies are kicking vulnerable people out of appartments property of owners of the whole building, when not by banks or investment funds.

you're surprised a fighter from the working class is right winged?

I wouldn’t go around telling people I was a landlord… that’s just me.

You must be one of those "PSOE until dead" people, huh?
How old are you?

Exactly. Look at what they do not what they say. Left wing politics literally kills the working class with taxes and syphoons it to bums and "minorities" (while taking their cut beforehand), all that while at the same time spitting them in the face and telling them how bad and privileged they are, and somehow leftards are surprised people are getting fed up with it.

I think you're deep into propaganda there. That's what they're selling to the working class, doesn't mean it is necessarily true. The left does a poor job at making the working class feel inclusive and looks down on them, but it doesn't necessarily mean the working class benefits from the right.

Also, he is from Spain, so his standards for what is considered heavy taxes is very different from yours (I'm assuming you're American). He is likely far right because he is originally from a country (Georgia) that is more socially conservative than Spain.


Spain got deep into poverty and still struggles economically because it was literally a fascist country for a very long time. Somewhat ironically, if it wasn't getting checks from the EU for being poor, it would basically be a developing country or something comparable to the Eastern European countries that are developed but stagnant. So, going ultra right probably isn't much of an economic decision, although everyone likes lower taxes.

So, you disagree with one opinion and get a vibe that he's guilty of wrongthink. Thanks, buddy.
 
Incoming tug of war between the poor lefty and the middle class / rich righty but very little mention of the people who manipulated this scam housing market in the 1st place that screwed us all. Or maybe the foreign interests tied to the central banking scam that plagues all democracies in the world through never ending money printing at interest which guarantees we will all be poor over time via their counterfeiting machine that generates infinite revenue by issuing debt out of thin air.

Wonder if certain leaders ever existed that took back control of their economy and made their countries for their people, ran by their people, with the interests of their people of prime importance?

King Ferdinand and Queen Isabella knew what was up 500 years ago. Muammar Gadaffi was another one. And of course, everyone's most hated fishing partner.
