On the one hand, people such as yourself say that Putin is “bad” man, a dictator who opposes the "democratic values" of the EU because he wants to hack our elections, poison OAPs in Salisbury and do horrendous things such as promote traditional Christian values instead of child drag queens and butt sex. <br /><br />But on the other hand, I see openly without any sort of spin the Russian government stepping in to help a population of men and women desperate to escape what appears to be their looming racial genocide.<br /><br />https://www.rt.com/business/433772-boers-sa-russia-resettlement/<br /><br />Refugees who I might add, have been repeatedly turned away from “democratic” Western nations left, right, and centre. <br /><br />I really can’t decide which stance to take.<br />Robnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-891289711377156224.post-23108177846589936572018-07-21T01:15:21.300+03:002018-07-21T01:15:21.300+03:00Idealism and coercion don't mix well.

The quest for hegemony always looks the same, no matter what moral labels some choose to give it.</em><br /><br />Of course it is. Gottfried is absolutely correct.<br /><br /><em>The neo-cons had idealistic motives for wanting to export their values to the world</em><br /><br />The neo-cons had idealistic motives for wanting to export their values to the world in the same way that Hitler, Stalin and Trotsky had idealistic motives for wanting to do such things. Almost all the real full-blown evil in the world is caused by idealists.dfordoomhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02306293859869179118noreply@blogger.com
