      Also a concerted effort by Putin, who is not only likely the real richest man on Earth but also the head of a fascist country that wants to destroy the very idea of democracy around the world.

      I think its kind of reductive to claim that all the billionaire fascists are merely racists. I mean sure, racism plays a part, and they definitely are racists, and eugenicists, but fascism primarily is about power and control, and those that have that power now and want more of it arent motivated solely by racism. The reason fascists dislike minorities of all kinds, not only racial minorities but also sexual and religious ones, is because they threaten the status quo and exist outside of the fascists desired hierarchy, and because its useful for controlling a population to give them something ‘other’ to hate and fight against, aside from the fascist puppetmasters pulling their strings. Race is definitely involvex, but for the billionaires leading the charge, the fascist push is avoht money and power and control.

    He’s SUCH a pos. Anybody who can witness his “weave” and still think he’s intelligible is already so stupid that nothing can be done for or about them.

      I wonder how long they work shopped and focus grouped “the weave” before they decided it was a viable lie to cover up the man’s obvious, raging stupidity.

    I would count, but the second view of the article has a paywall. But it’s kind of odd how first it says just 3 people disagreed with him, but then there’s about 5 names mentioned, and a few of them spoke to other attendees who had the same opinions.
