Synopsis: A panel of Russian commentators discusses the failure of democracy and representative government in Russia.
The discussion immediately descends into angry invective and personal attacks. One member of the panel storms off.
Quote of the Day is from the host Vladimir Solovyov:
"German Nazism is the highest level of development in this line of German society"
@user-kg7co9vi5r 4 hours ago I find it refreshing to hear them admitting that they are more like the Nazis than the others.

@Soapy555 6 hours ago Brazenly bickering to such a degree on their state run TV channel, offers a tangible (and hilarious) reflection of the true turmoil under the surface. Best episode ever!

@LethalJizzle 5 hours ago These people like to live in an echo chamber, but as with any echo chamber, eventually some point of contention comes up between the apparently same-minded people inside it, and it fractions to become even smaller and more echoey. Eventually only the most deranged and narrow minded remain.
But… but… but… I thought that the Ukrainians were the Nazis!?
The overall gist of the discussion seems to be setting the stage for Putin to dissolve the government and end the illusion of civilian rule.
They didn’t quite say this, but it seems to be where this narrative is going.
“...democracy does not work.”
This is not unique to Russia.
Under the “Democracies” or “Republics” of the West, the Elites do more against the interests and preferences of their populations than the “Oligarchs” governing Russia do.
Sounds about as coherent as “The View”.
This is a great insight into the mind of MeganC.
A single person on a discussion panel advocates something wild, and she decides to collectively smear the entire country with it.
This is sort of like deciding that Don Lemon advocating something means that the entire country of the USA should be smeared with it.
Absolutely unbelievable stupid.
Russian Media Monitor began, funny enough, when the US orchestrated the Ukrainian coup in 2014 and Ukraine began murdering ethnic Russians.
But what do you care?
“A single person on a discussion panel advocates something wild”
1. From the Russian perspective democracy is the wild idea. Their normal state is authoritarianism and dictatorship.
2. The host went even further than the guest did.

ZEEPER FOLLIES PINGLIST!
(((PING!)))
The Founding Fathers were universally convinced democracy does not work.
The original constitution had multiple safeguards against it.
It always results in ochlocracy. And the final end of the republic.
Since neither proposition is true, what is your point?
I think MeganC You Next Tuesday might be Megan McCain. Lol
It was working perfectly until 1920 when we passed the 19th amendment allowing women to vote.
That's the end of the American Republic.
We should have followed the Starship Troopers' version of citizenship. In order to earn it, you have to serve in the military. Then you can vote.
Women can serve in the military (as long as they're not infantry).
I’d go as far as saying pure democracy is an evil concept, maybe not as evil as many of the other forms of government, but the founding fathers were well aware of the dangers of democracy.
They’re right you know. That’s why our Founding Fathers organized us as a republic.
You’re posting about “democracy” like it’s a good thing on a board that espouses representative republicanism.
Yep.
Check out the Democrat mobs in New Jerk sChitty and Atlanta, disguised as "legal systems", busily lynching President Trump.
You’re a special kind of stupid when you can’t even read the title of the topic before commenting.
Hint: RUSSIA
I agree. You’re a special kind of stupid.
But at least the windows in your house are clean.
