Stereotypes

 

Not knowing anything about this dude, I nevertheless make some assumptions based on his presentation.

This is probably a kid who didn't get enough quality parenting. Or enough early intervention. A few hundred bucks in therapy sessions before it was too late would have saved the guy tens of thousands in ink and piercings.

I make a further assumption that, unless you're from a culture where facial tattoos are in some way relevant, folks who get face tattoos aren't too bright. I mean, there's plenty of ink options other than your face. Do you really want to be unemployable for the rest of your life?

So imagine my surprise when I discovered that the loser in that picture actually has some very intelligent things to say. His name is Tom Macdonald, and he's got a supposedly controversial video out called Fake Woke.

That's some crazy shit, eh? Billionaires using their media platforms to fan the flames of racial hatred? I think this guy is making hate speech against oligarchs. 

Watch him while you can!

Why Vladimir Putin is constantly vilified in the West

Everybody in Russia, especially the so-called oligarchs, knows who is in charge of the country.

Putin.

Everybody in America knows who is in charge of America. It's definitely not Obama.

It's the corporate oligarchy.

Scan down the list of who is in the G-8 and you'll see that for the most part it's big business that calls the shots. The exceptions are Russia and to a lesser extent Germany.

While it is not generally acknowledged and you don't run into his name very often, Karl Kautsky set the stage for the direction that Germany's society would take in the modern era.

Kautsky's take on social democracy has been a largely invisible guiding hand in the shaping of modern Germany. There is a general acceptance among the people that handing the reins to the corporate sector would not necessarily be a good thing for the rest of the country.

Contrast that to the American way, wherein bankers set banking regulations, oil industry executives establish oil industry regulations, and foreign policy is steered by a cabal of insiders who float effortlessly between government and the military-industrial complex that profits mightily from America's endless wars.

Putin governs in the tradition of Kautsky, even though Kautsky never governed anything. Russia certainly has a corporate sector, but every player therein knows who is in charge.

That is why Putin must constantly be vilified by the corporate media in the West.
