Richard Spencers fucking wife translated a version of FoG...
Another excellent man to read about
Sadly most of his stuff is in Russian as well
Oh yeah I know him
Hyper reality
Literally post modern up your entire political system so that everyone except you doesn't know what the fuck is going on...
Someone I know describes him as the "manufacturer of consent"
Oh yeah. Another highly intelligent, powerful man.
> In an editorial for the London Review of Books quoted by Curtis, Peter Pomerantsev describes Putin's Russia thus:
> In contemporary Russia, unlike the old USSR or present-day North Korea, the stage is constantly changing: the country is a dictatorship in the morning, a democracy at lunch, an oligarchy by suppertime, while, backstage, oil companies are expropriated, journalists killed, billions siphoned away. Surkov is at the centre of the show, sponsoring nationalist skinheads one moment, backing human rights groups the next. It's a strategy of power based on keeping any opposition there may be constantly confused, a ceaseless shape-shifting that is unstoppable because it's indefinable.
He will say and do anything, fund anyone, push anything as long as it benefits his agenda
In a nutshell:
Fund everyone!
Even your enemies?
Expecially fund my enemies!
The people behind or next to leaders are usually more interesting than the leaders themselves
Cummings, Surkov, etc.
The autistic savant, standing behind the ego driven front man...
@PureEvilPie FoG is the Russian perspective. TGC is the American perspective. CoC is a critique of the, Geopolitics by numbers assumptions that both books make, and a certain school of realpolitik which just assumes you can manipulate and shenanigan your way into not creating rival power blocks that will eventually threatan you, ie Islam. Finally he was writing in response to Francis Fuckupyama's book the end of history...
Alistair Campbell may have been the brains behind the British invasion of Iraq

I imagine both men were ecstatic upon learning of Brexit
> Nigel Farage says children do not support Brexit in large numbers because they are told it is 'evil' in schools
``Children are not backing Brexit in large numbers because they are taught that it is "evil" in schools, Nigel Farage has claimed.
The Brexit Party leader told supporters at a rally: "I was taught at sixth form 'here is a problem, here are two solutions, you decide what you think the answer is' - it is called critical thinking.
"That is what young people should be taught - taught to think for themselves, to make their own minds up.
"I fear that through the education system the bias is so much that actually we are teaching young people 'here's a problem, here are two solutions, one is virtuous and good and the other is evil'.
"I find that really really worrying. Despite all of that, there is still a very large minority of young people who did vote Brexit and still want Brexit."``
> it is called critical thinking.
Oh the irony.
Anyone with any critical thinking skills would be pro-EU..
HAH
Brexit can work well within the US's favor and be bad for Russia
BUT
It would require the de facto break up or neutering of the EU.
Something which isn't going to happen in the near future.
If Brexit was the catalyist for that then the US would be in prime position to reassert its influence
Or China.
It won't be Russia xD
But it may releave pressure off of Russia, because of different bordering nation states.
