Yes, lefties support

Yes, lefties support revolution chic, while Africa I'd guess is as much financial support plus some revolution/socialism nostalgia. The US is "The Man" overall.

But still i thought Luka would be a bit more humanitarian in keeping with favelas having an anti-colinialist bent, but i suppose memories are short & easily swayed.

Have some Che Guevara in your coffee?

good point.

good point.

also to keep in mind, tho I don't know how related it is to Russia/Ukraine: it's the urban elite liberals who helped push Lula over the top; lots of working class preferred Bolsanaro.

Then there's all of Africa and surely I haven't figured that out yet and maybe never will. One thing I can see clearly: as far as the 'war of civlizations' that Putin wants, in Africa, it's "be there or be square".

Lula's relative support for Russian atrocities in Ukraine caught a lot of us surprise.

The "Bolsonaro vs Democracy" equation seemed to shape shift suddenly.

Interesting thread by an ex-editor at The Atlantic and ex-reporter for the AFP; could be related, stranger things have happened:

How do you incubate a mind virus? How do you cause a culture to self-destruct? In 1984, this KGB defector exposed the 4-stages identified by Soviet intelligence as the necessary steps to cause the psychological implosion of American society.

My comment so far is:

Are MAGA and Trump supporters really the only "clown car" in this country?

And didn't this other clown car precede them?

And might not the most passionate Trump/MAGA support have come mainly in reaction to them? (That's without even getting into Obama/Trump voters...)

At an event in support of WSJ reporter Evan Gershkovitch being detained by Russia, Assange supporters confront Masha Gessen. David Remnick, Anna Nemzer, Beth Knobel & Susan Glasser, including accusing Gessen of being a a CIA asset. And Vega later tweets the video and a statement that Gershkovitz is a spy and then copies that thread to an extensive list of their compadres on Twitter:

So @DianeSare and I confronted Russiagate fanatic journalists @mashagessen, David Remnick, Anna Nemzer, Beth Knobel & @sbg1 at their

"come listen to how great we are as journalists" talk. We touched on Russiagate, Seymour Hersh, Julian Assange and Masha being a CIA asset. pic.twitter.com/vICTYnfDU7

Ford Fischer reported on a rally in support of Assange outside the DOJ, which was sidelined by an unaffiliated man stripping off his clothes and trying to light himself on fire:

CW: Disturbing

Today as supporters of Julian Assange rallied outside the DOJ in DC, a man ran in front of speaker Gerry Condon, stripped completely naked, and poured instant flame gel on his clothing before taking out a lighter.

He was confronted by several people including CIA… pic.twitter.com/jkNMoMwNoa

If you look at the replies on his tweet there, you will see several people suggest that that man must be a government plant.

If you look at his whole thread reporting the rally speakers, you will see a lot the usual suspects spoke in support, including Max Blumenthal, Elizabeth Murray, Garland Nixon, John Kiriakou, Gary Condon, Editor-in-Chief of Consortium News Joe Lauria, and others.
