No doubt. But also no doubt that racism is a major feature in Putin's appeal to right-wingers both here and in Europe.
Thanks. I think the same about you. I also strongly believe you're in denial about racism here and that serves to coddle the racists.

Amazing. Well, since the words I actually write don't seem to register at all with you, I'll just say I'm a big fan of your work on IC.
-
Yes, and we will and do continue to disagree abt relative role of RU. I'm NOT a fan of making Putin more important than he is.
-
Did I blame racism on Putin?? I said the OPPOSITE. You keep saying that's what I'm saying. You're ignoring what I'm actually writing.
-
No. I'm noting your continued use of the word "mirror" and reliance on a bunch of analysis I find to be ridiculously bad.
-
I used "mirror" in terms of politics -- as in we haven't had an EXPLICITLY far right racist party for ages. We do again now -- like in EU.
-
We don't have an explicitly far right party. We have and always have had a right wing party in which explicit racists have played a role.
-
But the GOP has (as I noted and you blew off) RELIED on racist suppression to win elections since 2000. Could not win w/o it.
-
I didn't blow it off. Anybody with any sense knows that, and that's what I said. I don't get the disconnect here.

But man, you really haven't read what I actually wrote, or I'm a shitty writer, or you just like to argue.
-
Nah, we've continued to have this arg abt Ru. You think Putin is far more important than actual evidence supports.
