Liberals and/or NDP need to incorporate this into a campaign ad somehow. It's a highly effective dunk.

![Highlighted text: Advised by Baranov, "the Tsar" responds to this demand for authority during historical events such as the Second Chechen War, the presidential election of 2000, the sinking of the Kursk, the hostage-taking of the Moscow theater in 2002 or even the Orange Revolution in 2004. "In The Wizard of the Kremlin, we follow Putin's metamorphosis", summarizes the journalist Laure Adler.[8] For Marc Lambron, da Empoli's novel is "an oral fresco running from the Yeltsin years to the beginnings of the current war in Ukraine".[9]](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:dnxhsm3k7u4y4ucihrmm5dim/bafkreifjbgrbeodyg7hfgi7rpnrevcbc7lqv7yigrnivi6g73nsdmwrgmy@jpeg)
![It was while carrying out research for his previous work, The Engineers of Chaos (French: "Les ingénieurs du chaos"), an essay devoted to the advisers of populist leaders, that da Empoli became familiar with the figure of Vladislav Surkov, to whom he wished to devote a novel. "He is so romantic that he freed me and pushed me to become a novelist", explains the author, who also confides that he has never met him in person.[5]](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:dnxhsm3k7u4y4ucihrmm5dim/bafkreicyjgmui6ydxblfw7fqkoys4uoz24tstepmwljpqorzrxmdinl3w4@jpeg)
![The main character of the plot, Vadim Baranov, is fictional, but he shares many common traits with Russian politician Vladislav Surkov, whose atypical profile—rap lover, avant-garde theater director, writer and businessman—prompted The New York Times to call him one of Russia's “most intriguing figures.”[2][3] Like Baranov, Surkov was Vladimir Putin's man in the shadows, "a poet among wolves", according to Marianne.[4]](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:dnxhsm3k7u4y4ucihrmm5dim/bafkreibgfrq5ky4h2dybk25qebgxmukdzijqhzt5q5dtwvkxihez5whndu@jpeg)

Why not Trump, again?
Chris Cutrone
Platypus Review 166 | May 2024
Presented on April 5, 2024, at the opening plenary panel discussion on “Liberal democracy in crisis?” of the Platypus Affiliated Society’s 15th Annual International Convention, with Jordan De Anda (For the People), Howie Hawkins (U.S. Green Party), Ralph Leonard (writer at Unherd, Areo, et al.) and Matt McManus (author of The Political Theory of Liberal Socialism).[1]
I IDENTIFY STRONGLY WITH the wrongly accused. So does America more broadly. And Trump has been wrongly accused. If you are in the right, then there is no need to lie. And they have lied about Trump.
All the criminal charges and civil lawsuits against Trump — literally every single one — are using “novel legal theories” and “unprecedented applications of the law.”](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:dnxhsm3k7u4y4ucihrmm5dim/bafkreighrs636yejidzz7cxdf5yy42egdjyyno462vrihcuro537xh5glu@jpeg)

In a sign of how things are going, these "ads" were all over my YouTube feed this morning.
It's obvious bs, but I am worried about the firehose of propagandistic slop that hits Canadians on a daily basis.

This is very much besides the point, but I am struck by how the nicest looking (and probably most difficult to make) items in this list are by far the cheapest. I'd wear those Doc Martens, but not the other stuff.

Because apparently there have been no other genocides in recent memory, nor has the US recently contributed to any other atrocity, nor have Americans ever had agency before!
