Putin: Woke Culture in U.S. is Just Like Bolsheviks, 'Dogmatism Bordering on Absurdity'
CNS News ^ | 10/26/2021 | Michael Chapman

Posted on 10/26/2021 6:16:34 PM PDT by markomalley

Russian President Vladimir Putin, a former lieutenant colonel in the KGB, strongly criticized the "woke," social justice warriors in the United States and Europe, arguing that they behave just like the Bolshevik Communists did in the former Soviet Union.

They are ruled by a "dogmatism bordering on absurdity," he asserted, noting that "cancel culture" is nothing more than "reverse discrimination," and teaching children that sexuality is flexible is potentially "a crime against humanity."

In his Oct. 22 speech in Sochi, Russia, before members of the Valdai Discussion Club, Putin addressed some of the major issues affecting the entire world, such as the COVID pandemic, climate change, technological advances, and socio-economic challenges.

It’s way past the border (of absurdity), Vlad. It’s all the way into full blown insanity. Here, Europe, Australia, New Zealand, and Canada. “The West”, or rather the screeching minority which has gained control of mass media, academia, and much of government in “The West”, are completely out of the ****ing skulls. And no one (yet) has the stones to take the necessary actions to return to a semblance of sanity.

“ Can we trade Biden for Putin?”

And throw in Obama, Jarrett, Pelosi, Schumer and McConnell for free.

They also control education, culture (entertainment), corporate business, technology…and now energy. The problem is a tad bigger than we think.

Sorry but I can't see Jim's Desktop from here. In fact, I don't even know who Jim is. Are you Jim?

I've almost posted a link to a pdf that I was looking at in my browser that was actually a copy in the temp folder of my PC. Almost.

Reading your tagline: MOFA-—awesome!

Sounds like a naughty version of MAGA and a great conversation starter.

When former KGB guy Putin cares more about America and Americans than Democrats do that says a lot. And you don’t have to be a super star to speak out against communism. I saw an article of one example, “NBA Star Challenges LeBron James And Nike To Visit The Slave Labor Camps In China”, and you can give that a look at DailyCaller. Enes Kanter is both Turkish and muslim, but that doesn’t preclude him from being right on this issue. The truth is democRATs today are just like the Borg, and just as ruthless.

And just because he is who and what he is doesn’t mean he can’t be correct. I know he doesn’t REALLY care about us.

I think Putin would have been happier to serve the Czar.

LOL... He is The Czar, and a successful one.

The destruction of the West via non-stop importation of foreigners was predicted. Read ‘The Camp of the Saints’ (1973), available FREE online via a quick search as both ebook and audiobook.

So we should be surprised that our enemies have studied us for decades and can identify our weaknesses?

No one is under any illusion that Putin wishes us well. But he does happens to have an excellent intelligence service briefing him about us.

No surprise that his analysis of us is rather prescient.

Well, if so, he’s a lot better than the last few.

I think I get it now. The Czar was better than the Bolshiveks but wasn’t life in Russia under the Tzar pretty bad for most?

No, they’re the Mensheviks, and the Bolsheviks are the ones who are pulling the strings but waiting until the Mensheviks (aka useful idiots) have power and once they do, the Bolsheviks will purge the Mensheviks first. Then the rest of anyone who has a problem with them. History repeats itself.

Apparently, the Russian Church is talking of sponsoring Western Christians to move to Russia. Given the dictatorship of True-dolt here in Kanadahar (Canada), I’m almost tempted to drive to the Russian Consulate in Edmonton, and seek religious asylum. It would SURE BE A BLACK EYE to True-dolt!

Wow. The Russian government is saner, less communist and more protective of its citizens than the modern democrats and their legions of idiot retards.

I grew up in the 80s so that is just well WOW.

Putin himself sees the similarities between the Woke Left and the Bolsheviks.
