Those on the Left are permanently projecting their 'sins' on to those who don't agree with them,eg, 'bullying'.....they are always at it, and people are supposed to accept it. The 'love bombing' of Z after that interview ended was as nauseating as it was predictable. The West feeds off and exalts the alleged 'victim', eg a President who thought he could dictate terms in front of the world's media. To be the Left's 'victim'....the person has to be shielded from hard facts/truth and cloaked in platitudes. Anyone who doesn't go along with that 'confection of victimhood', calls it out, is termed a "bully". Thus, Keir Starmer greeted Z with a hug outside No 10, establishing his support for the 'victim'. In essence now, the West is populated with 'victims' and 'bullies'.....nothing betwixt.

The true leader of Wakanda. W'Kabi: "You let the refugees in, they bring their problems with them, and then Wakanda is like everywhere else." MWGA!

Funny old world when those advocating peace are called dictators, fascists and tyrants, and those that want war are the 'good guys'. Very weird for someone who came of age at the end of the Vietnam Moratorium era.

Well said. I didn't leave the Left. The Left left me.

That entire Oval office skirmish looked staged and scripted to me. We must remember that Trump is an actor - he was in The Apprentice and has his own star on Hollywood Blvd. Zelenskyy is an actor, a comedian who once pretended to play the piano with his penis on live television. He has an offshore production company that was mentioned more than once in the Panama Papers. Even Vance has his own page on IMDb: https://www.imdb.com/name/nm8577419/

Three performers in one room, with the eyes of the world on them? Of course it was a performance!

I'm not yet sure of its purpose, though I suspect it was to send some sort of message to Putin who, we can be sure, is lining up his own performance, also scripted.

Matthew Crawford (Rounding the Earth Substack) has shown me the LARP lens, and I'm finding it particularly useful. I assume everything I see in the media now is a Live Action Role Play (by performers) until I see evidence to the contrary.
