Your news diet is, apparently, salt free!

Navalny gots a "scholarship" (Skull and Bones?) from Yale.

He's a tool of the NED.

Honestly, I don't know how you do it.  I got tired of trying to counter tungsten nonsensical shit a long time ago.  Now I mostly just ignore.

I know I am never going to convince either of them of a goddamn thing but I like knowing what they are thinking.  So many of the fringe views leak into regular politics (Capitol attack) so I like to up to speed on their theories.  Having Shogun on here is a window into MAGA and makes a lot of their craziness predictable.  And obviously I love arguing.

I didn't spend a quarter of my life living in Russia so I don't have an opinion on this.

That's no excuse when you have access to counterpunch.

I hope you can come to terms with the Uyghurs some day.

Canadians are almost as bad to our indigenous.  How we are dealing with it today is so much better.

What it comes down to is not celebrating despot rulers.

2 - I got it from the linky I quoted on prior page. You should read it. Sober, nuanced, even in his consideration of Putin.

3 - National Endowment for Democracy. They do what the CIA used to do. You know, soft power, colour revolutions and such.

He has appeared as a speaker alongside neo-Nazis and skinheads, and once starred in a video that compares dark-skinned Caucasus militants to cockroaches. While cockroaches can be killed with a slipper, he says that in the case of humans, “I recommend a pistol.”

Why do you believe that the robber-baron oligarchs of Russia, who stole from their people so they could spend billions on boats and sports teams, are richer than Putin?

What's a few billion here and a few billion there? They all off the charts. Avarice equivilent of the owning classes everwhere. 

At least Putin's a nationalist. Coulda' been a lot worse. Like Mulroney, say.

To recap, if the billionaire has a Russian accent, "Super!", but if they don't, "French Revolution!"

I hope if I get this fucked in my accelerated years, the people close to me will call me on my bullshit.
