Even the UK’s scandalous rag The Guardian has been forced to rethink its sympathetic attitude towards Putin. Every article the paper has published about Russia has been inundated with offensive and hysterical comments from the army of Putin’s paid trolls. Now The Guardian’s editors are suffering from the endless assault of the trolls and learning firsthand what anybody who dares not to sing praise to Putin 24-7 experiences in Russia and Ukraine.
I do despise a certain type of English leftist. Even Doris Lessing had a trace of their mannerisms about her. There’s a high level of pomposity and moral self-righteousness. But if you try to imagine the kind of society that they think would be ameliorative, you would envisage a lot of petty assholes in individual stalls, doing and saying the same things and not rising above each other. So, it’s pretty boring and not that energetic. This type gets all its energy just from condemning those whose lives deviate from this flattened and grey moral template.
