@Ikalugin you are right, the 'left' (whatever you mean by it because in the US some of the right wing is already regarded as being 'left') certainly does not do itself a favour in underestimating the 'right', or schmoozing with delusional hope and waiting for better times.

I am more concerned about the left wing movement than I am about the right wing movement as the left wing currently controls both the means of spreading information (censorship and social pressure in tech companies that leads to both speech and thought policing) and the state regulation of said means (hate speach legislation that leads to arrests and convictions based on speach that does not fit the ideology), the academia/education (where people are expelled for non PC statements even if they are supported by data, not to mention the self censorship that is happening).
I wonder about several things here. The "left wing movement" as you describe it.. most of the US mdia are still leaning to the right, you cannot describe them as left just because they criticize Trump.

I can understand that anything hampering the big bad US is good for Russia, so you supported Trump because he is divisive and radicalising.
But at the same time, there is danger ahead that the next president will be even more right and hawkish, but if he will be only a bit more intelligent that would really bear some threat for Russia. After the radicalising before and during Trump it all can become much worse.

So, why exactly would Russia be against the left. In former time the latter did all to encourage them, help them, insert spies and so forth.
But now you are afraid of the left, and supported Trump. Because he can be led by the nose? It is easier to spy?
Is the american 'left' so much more threatening, to Putin? Is the far right more to his liking?


Or in other words, are you warning the left to be not so delusional and think wrong, or are you promoting Trump because he's easy meat for Putin?
