I’ve been accused of being opposed to democracy (bloggers get accused of all sorts, we’re immune to criticism) for presenting the Russian point of view in my comments on the Ukraine crisis.
These people then tell me as if they are imparting some great news I was unaware of, that “Russia is not a democracy.”
I’m aware of that, I’m also aware that Britian, the EU nations and the USA are no more democratic in the classical sense than Russia. News is manipulated, access to information controlled (and what a great tool the internet has turned into for those whose interests are served by restricting access to information. No matter, who needs the truth as long as you have Boggart Blog.
But what is democracy in this modern technological world. We have come so far from the Athens of Artistotle or the Rome of Quintus Fabius or or Cornelius Scipio. Democratic rule does not really work very well after a community’s population passes about 250,000.
So when people tell me Russia is not a democracy it is, is it not, a case of pot calling kettle back.
What I object to is the way the media call anyone undemocratic the moment they fail to fall ino line and do as bidden by Barack Hussein Obama acting on behalf of his wall Street / BIS bosses. Who elected him to tell Russians what to do, or Europeans of Brits for that matter.
Well with a bit of luch we will be “having a democratic word” with Dave and Co. about their willingness to abdicate their responsibilities and surrender British sovereignty to unelected control freaks.
And if they ignore us, we should perhaps remind them of the words of that great political thinker Alf Garnett: “You can’t ‘ave proper democracy wivout killing people.”
As this Russian example demonstrates.
from The Daily Telegraph
Boris Berezovsky, the Russian oligarch and critic of Vladimir Putin, may have been murdered, a coroner ruled.
Mr Berezovsky’s daughter, Elizaveta, had told how she feared that he had been assassinated by Kremlin “enemies” for warning that the Russian president was a “danger to the world”.
A forensic pathologist hired by Mr Berezovsky’s family also told the inquest that he believed the former billionaire had been strangled to death by a “third party”.
Mr Berezovsky, 67, was found dead in a bathroom at his former wife’s £20 million home in Ascot, Berks, in March last year. He had a ligature around his neck.
The inquest previously heard that a mystery fingerprint was found near the body and a paramedic’s radiation alarm had sounded upon entering the house, leading to speculation that the oligarch was killed by Russian enemies.

SJWs have been always the bad guys, but only now they started acting instead of only talking. “Social justice” is not justice. Justice is supposed to be blind – color of skin, religion or sex shouldn’t matter, everybody should be treated same. Social justice is, and always was, the exact opposite – based on your labels you have more or less rights, you are better or worse. If you happen to inherit worst sin of all – being white male – you are expendable subhuman and should be ashamed of your roots.
Stuart Coker
That is the stance of the SJWs. Whites are the main source of evil. If you are a White male, that is twice as bad and if you are White, Christian, Conservative male, you are the most vile creature to walk the earth.
Conservatives are concerned with individual rights. They look at the individual and judge them based on what they do and say.
Leftists look at your skin color, sex, religion, perceived “gender”, socioeconomic status, education level and any other measures in order to insert people into a group identity.
If you have Black skin, you must think and act “Black”. This is why leftists, especially Black leftists, have no problem attacking Blacks who are Conservative and stating they “aren’t really ‘black’” because every leftist knows that Blacks must be a leftist Democrat. It is why they say a woman who doesn’t believe in abortion as a method of birth control on demand is a “traitor” to her gender.
It is why they can claim they “fight for women’s rights” while simultaneously stating that gender is a social construct and a man can be a woman if he thinks he is a woman. Thus, a male who believes he is a woman has more standing in their eyes on gender issues than a conservative woman who believes gender is a scientific principle rather than an emotional or psychological issue.
It is why a White woman like Rachel Dozal, can appropriate Black culture, darken her skin, put dreds in and run a chapter of the NAACP and claim she is really Black and leftists are fine with her claiming to be “transracial” but will attack a real Black or White woman if they say anything against the idea that gender or race is a personal decision and who state that genetics might have more to do with race and gender than feelings.
It is why leftists gather everyone into their little groups and speak as if each group is a monolithic body that only thinks and believes certain way. If you dare step out of your group and speak out as an individual, you are attacked in order to force you back in line…or, at least, shut up and go away.
Leftists, and SJWs in particular, have no problem dividing us into racial subsets then attack Whites as being racist if we deal with people as individuals rather than as a “black” or “female” or “trans”. To them, the only subsets who do not deserve rights and an equal say are those who are “white”, biological and psychologically “male”, Christian and/or Conservative. They identify these groups as the source of all evil deserving of being silenced and suppressed unless they admit they are evil and fall in line with the leftist SJW agenda.
