Pussy Riot Member Warns Trump Ignorers: “Everybody Was Joking About” Putin, Too

“When Putin came to his first term or second term, nobody actually thought that this is serious. Everybody was joking about it. And nobody could imagine that after five, six years, we would have a war in Ukraine, annexation of Crimea, and these problems in Syria.”

"Everybody joking about Donald Trump now, but it's a very short way from joke to sad reality when you have a really crazy president speaking about breaking every moral and logic norm. So I hope that he will not be president. That's very simple."

Hey everyone, CIA here, just to remind you that you really shouldn't be ignoring this guy that no one can shut the fuck up about for more than 5 minutes. In case you'd somehow missed it, this is just a friendly tip to pay attention to the man featured in every single headline.

i wonder what percentage of people i think are smart are going to vote for clinton because the republican nominee is super scary and said that children with downs syndrome should be harvested for organs or whatever. and what percentage of the rest will be like heh i voted for doctor jill stein, don't blame me for hillary clinton getting 57% or whatever. anyway in my opinion americans should encourage jacobin editors to run as an independent, assuming any are over 40.

if anything people starting laughing at Putin like 10 years after he was in power. they have it backwards.

btw a city in Ukraine elected a literal neo-Nazi (mirror) as mayor.

However, while the mayor attempts to make sure his statements never cross over into outright anti-Semitism, many things he says can be interpreted in such a way, he continued. As an example, he referred to a recent statement by Semenikhin in which the mayor refused to apologize for anti-Jewish actions taken by far-right nationalists in World War II, intimating that it was because those responsible for the Holodomor famine of the 1930s were largely Jewish.
...
“The special anti-communist and anti-Nazi law says about banning the symbols of the National Socialist (Nazi) of the totalitarian regime, which includes symbols of the Nazi Party and the state symbols of the Third Reich only,” he said. It is impossible to interpret in legal terms symbols like 14/88.

A couple weekend back I saw Bhaskar Sunkara talk alongside someone from the Democratic Socialists of America about how socialists desperately need to help Bernie Sanders win the Democratic primary, because American socialism is basically really a joke and Sanders and the Democratic Party needs our critical support because it can be made even Lefter than it is now. That's basically everything they said in a 10 minute speech on the topic "Should socialists support Bernie Sanders in the Democratic Primary?"

#25
Actually the point that American socialism is a joke is true, Sunkara is live-in proof, but that wasn't really how they put it. They said that American socialist groups are "really weak right now" that's the phrase that both they and the DSA person used more than once. Also true but without the same self-critical flavor.
