Just saw a bit of this interview on The Daily Show… and man was it hilarious
What’s crazy to me is Putin had such an opportune chance to control the narrative and try to pull the far right to his side. He could have done this by speaking to anti-LGBTQ stuff or talk about traditional families. But instead he spent his time talking about a perverse Russian history that some how blames Poland for Hitler’s aggression.
Putin had a chance to control the narrative, but instead ranted on like a crazy old man. So win for the west, but what a strange story.
Unfortunately, I don’t think it matters what he spews. One-in-four Americans already have a positive view of Putin. I think he’s got the crazy demographic already locked down.
Please tell me that’s not actually true
I wish I could lie to you. To give you sweet, comforting fictions.
Putin cares infinitely more about Russian domestic opinion than American public opinion. He had a few good moments in there where he belittles Tucker that are going to be clipped and shared all over Russian media.
He started this off very quickly with calling Tucker a talk show host causing Tucker to laugh awkwardly amd nervously. Speaking of that, I was surprised at Tucker’s nervousness. I guess he felt the whole world was watching him or something and he choked a bit.
Not as easy to seem like you’re centered and wise when you’re not reading a script on your own TV show.
Speaking of that, I was surprised at Tucker’s nervousness.
The interview wasn’t on the ground floor.
Sounds like a pretty cool premise for a book tbh.
…so you see the King of Gondor is and always has been an Occupier, who hasn’t paid rent to the rightful owner in many centuries
Gondor has historically always been part of Mordor, we just gave it to them for a little while because we were bored.
I actually watch the whole damn thing. For me, Putin went from highly intelligent evil dictator to highly stupid evil dictator. I hope I get the chance to spit on his grave one day.
Isn’t it crazy that the more you learn about world leaders, the more it becomes evident that they’re a bunch of morons just like everyone else?
Putin was pretty damn smart. But, I’m sure old age and decades of yes-men have caught up to him.
Worse. Normal people have the decency of self consciousness.
Of only this was true in the general way you wrote it
Worse. Normal people have the occasional decency of self consciousness.
Fixed it.
For everyone else tripping slightly over this command.
Normal == Perfect Being different/ having a disability is not abnormal.
I am neurodivergent, this may often make people exclude me from the “normal/neurotypical” group. But the term is misused here
But in the broader sense, the way the term is used above is not excluding in the same way.
Damn I was gonna say I appreciate your comment because you used the double equal sign operator to mean equality " == " and I thought it was cool to see that in a non-programming context.
But you actually did " = \ = " and Lemmy markdown interpreter thought you were trying to escape something because of the backwards slash.
Anyhow, to address your comment…
Yes, normal !== perfect but nobody was claiming otherwise. Neurodivergent also !== special
