At this point I’m pretty much convinced Putin wants to keep our toxic homo-culture out, keep the tentacles of globalism out of running their domestic affairs, and restore some version of pre-1917 Russian culture. Rebuilding churches as fast as he can, and he doesn’t push for socialism. In a nutshell, if Russia won’t be offered friendship as it clearly won’t be, he wants it to be left alone.
Our tech industry is fighting for socialism as hard as it can. They correctly understand that Socialism has a ruling oligarchy with endless power and privilege. And that this ruling class gets to arrange and restructure society and the economy by fiat, on a whim. They intend to be THOSE rulers. They do not intend to leave anyone alone.
Dorsey is massively more dangerous.
And then there is China, the joined at the hip partner of Dorsey, Zuckerberg, Google’s Sundar Pinchai, etc. The most massive and virulently expansionist atheist Communist dictatorship on earth, with 10 times the Russian GDP is in partnership with our domestic socialists.
