To be honest, he seems to be mostly a provocateur who says outrageous things to get attention and then monetize that attention. In that regard, he is not unlike people in the Katie Hopkins or Piers Morgan category. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

However I was not referring to that in my original post And your last point pretty much sums it up. Everyone is feeding into his agenda. Ok, I better stop now before I get shit on for defending him Also, to be clear not condoning pedophilia Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Military power by itself is a poor guaranteer of political stabliity. Otherwise Gorbachev wouldnt have dissolved the Soviet Union I'm not sure as to what you're getting at. The Russian security state is large (also historically) partially because it's the biggest country in the world and has massive borders. Also, there are internal opponents to Moscow as Russia is multi-cultural. Russia has political corruption similar to what poli sci academia call the "resource curse". I would say that Texas has historically had similar issues as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jj3 Posted May 31, 2017 Share Posted May 31, 2017 Interesting ... >> https://www.nytimes.com/2017/05/30/world/europe/emmanuel-macron-france.html?smid=fb-nytimes&smtyp=cur&_r=0 Quote In an interview two years ago, Mr. Macron made a statement about France’s absent king that is still the subject of shocked commentary. “In the process and function of democracy there is something missing, the figure of the king, whose death, I believe, fundamentally, the people did not want,” Mr. Macron told the weekly newspaper Le 1, saying it “created an emotional void.” In France, no politician outside the circle of fringe far-right royalists is supposed to talk about missing the king. That form of nostalgia is taboo for anybody who professes attachment to Republican values. Yet the view encapsulates both his regal view of power — offset somewhat by the slight youthful figure he presents — and his love of paradox, combining the concepts of monarchy and democracy.

They become junkies for the outrage their statements cause and most addictions, when left unchecked, will escalate into a point of self-destruction. With that in mind, the tactic of "keep them talking until they say something really, really stupid" is mostly a safe bet. Until that happens though, being no-platformed is quite often what they thrive on, because none of them are especially articulate or particularly bright. It serves their narrative without the prospect of being subjected to real critical scrutiny. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Instead I was only pointing out the one shortcoming that has prevented Russia from attaining global power status The power of the Soviet Union was centered around their armed forces and forced industrialization by Soviet communists during Stalin's reign. This stimulated economic activity and before WW2, lead to fast economic growth. During the 1930s, with the Great Depression and 25% unemployment crippling the US, some far left in the US even admired the Soviet model and used it as examples in their political rhetoric. This was when the Soviet Union was insular and not prone to much in international trade. (and thus not vulnerable to sanctions by foreign nations) I suspect that the rejection of consumerist culture that remains in modern Russia properly come from themselves, and not from any one factor. Not all people want to frame their lives in the western capitalistic manner. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BTW, when West intellectuals say we should cut ties with "states" like Quatar etc ... it's horrible fascist words. And when some Arab States like Egypts and Saudi Arabia does the same today, it's awesome ... Overal it's a good news, but the fact is that these same states are targeting Iran in backgroud, the whole movement supported by the new US admistration, well it's actually a bad news. That world is decidely complicated. Hey USA, are you ready to host the World Cup 2022 ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Qatar should've never been chosen in the first place, but we all know what happened. I can't believe the European football federations signed off on it in the first place with their domestic leagues schedule being heavily disrupted. Give it to England or Australia.
