Yeah, excellent question that's not at all loaded.

 

 

How so?

 

For example, there are loads of politicians in the US who I do not identify with.  

 

Do you back Mayor Ford in Toronto?

Everyone backs Rob Ford. Best mayor EVER.

He'll win again, too.  Question seems more like a dig than anything though.

We don't know anything about Oby other than the fact he is playing a nationalistic caricature, so if anything the question is too serious for someone who has shown no real inclination to be a member of this community.

He keeps posting, so that's all that is for one to be part of the "community" here.   He's like our application at work, just keeps on rolling no matter what gets thrown at it. :lol:

Its a reasonable question and definitely not "off limits". I also want to understand how far right his social and political allegiances are

Milonov is a religious nutjob. He also proposed to ban theory of evolution from schools, ban MTV for "immorality", and grant "citizenship rights" to human embryos.

 

I was frankly surprised he would allow himself to be recorded having a conversation in these terms with a foreign journalist (or whatever Fry is). "Let's discuss how retarded your political program is" is not exactly the kind of interview format I'm used to seeing, that's for sure.

 

But I'm going to assume that if he was elected, his ideas must resonate with some people, at least.

 

Disclaimer: I have no idea how elections work in Russia.

He's exactly like an application, he might as well be a part of the forum software.  He's not an actual person, which is what is required to be a part of a community.  There is no personality there, he has one function and he executes it tirelessly.

 

Anyways I'm sure I'll get in trouble for talking about posters.  :p

 

I should note that I enjoy Malcador's personality every day.  I'm not being facetious, I appreciate your skeptical look and your ability not to get caught up in things, it keeps many of us grounded here.  :)

"Histerion"?

 

This isn't even close to how non-English speakers mis-spell words.

I'm shocked that such a creature was elected to an office of responsibility.

That sort of child-like naivety is just adorable.

 

 

Really? I watch interviews with politicians all the time and that guy has one of the worst perspectives around gay rights I have ever seen.

 

I have seen worse, in Uganda they have just passed a law where they have criminalized homosexual acts. On CNN they interviewed the minister responsible for the legislation around this and during the interview they asked him " how can you pass a law that contradicts the human rights of people and what the African Charter for Human Rights stand for, especially considering the fact Uganda signed up to the AU charter"

 

He responded calmly " he doesn't think gay people have any rights "  :facepalm:

I could understand if it was somewhere in the hardocre fundie Islam or Christian countries, but for ****'s sake, St. Petersburg lies in Europe and Russia is (allegedly) within the European cultural circle.

It's easy to post here when all you do is google translate the Russian simple.wikipedia discussion forums. If I copied everything I posted I'd have a higher post count too.

You're aware that there are people like that in the United States aswell, right? He's on the same level as creationists.

Civilization, in fact, grows more and more maudlin and hysterical; especially under democracy it tends to degenerate into a mere combat of crazes; the whole aim of practical politics is to keep the populace alarmed (and hence clamorous to be led to safety) by menacing it with an endless series of hobgoblins, most of them imaginary. - H.L. Mencken

What never ceases to amaze me is just how aggressive people on both sides of the fence can be.

 

"Pacifist" that want to kill all "warmongers"

"Progressive" people that in the end, are just as much a slave of dogma (of a different kind) as the people they are "tearing down"

 

The only conclusion I can come to is that humanity itself is nothing more than a jumbled mess

The apocalypse can't come quick enough. Then I'll laugh at the people who think my collection of hunting rifles and tinned food is eccentric.

 

Have fun hiding in your basement in loneliness and terror until they run out. :) Unless, of course, the apocalypse happens while you're not at home.

Well, never said it was a high bar of entry to be part of a forum 'community'. Clumsy engagements on his part but engagements still.

On the rare occasions I leave the compound, I do so with a bug-out kit.

I am acutely aware of that, but whenever such a creature makes it into a position of power, I am shocked. This shouldn't become the norm.
