This is such a pure specimen beautifully reflecting the state of neo-McCarthyism, neocolonialism, PR war machine, corporate duopoly, and rest of the major dynamics stemming from the crumbling empire desperately propping up the imperial hierarchy of money and violence.
It should be noted that since every single thing that the establishment accuses "others" of has been what they do to "others", it is obvious that the bulk of tactics they've been utilizing against "enemy states" and to us is expressed in this valuable clip. Indeed, it is very common to come across one-line trolls with uncertain identities who would make disparaging remarks against socialism, communism, anything about Russia or China, or simply being divisive for the sake of being divisive. However, I must ask a question. Has anyone come across "Russian trolls" at all? I mean, am I a Russian troll? LOL. But it's really not funny. You see, this is really an emotional stuff. It is designed to make us agitated, divided, confused and fearful. And the solution they provide is to vote in corporate politics.
Let's be a bit more specific. This clip is a part of a Democratic Party project. It is a corporate funded project to demonize dissidents of all sorts as "Russian trolls". Listen to the argument, according to what it says, for example, anyone who opposes wars, corporate crimes, racism, police violence, or anything else can be counted as "Russian Trolls". Again, it makes us emotional. It divides us. It confuses us. And it makes us suspicious and fearful. It destabilizes us and it makes us fight among ourselves, while it makes us more susceptible to exploitation and subjugation by the framework of corporatism, colonialism and militarism, which is of course approved by the two corporate parties. The clip does exactly what "Russian trolls" do according to this Democratic Party funded clip itself.
It is also a rather blatant expression of nationalism in the name of "resisting enemy". The demonization process of Russia is a part of colonial project to destabilize Russia in order to convert Russian economy and politics to be more friendly to exploitation and subjugation by the Western hegemony. And of course it sells huge amount of weapons and it funds military operations run by hundreds of military bases that surround Russia as well.
So, wow, the more the establishment tries, the more they incriminate themselves as their credibility and legitimacy get compromised, in need of more fascist tools to raise the level of fear and obedience. Imperialism is not for the people. Period.

Parting shot—a word from the editors
The Best Definition of Donald Trump We Have Found
In his zeal to prove to his antagonists in the War Party that he is as bloodthirsty as their champion, Hillary Clinton, and more manly than Barack Obama, Trump seems to have gone “play-crazy” — acting like an unpredictable maniac in order to terrorize the Russians into forcing some kind of dramatic concessions from their Syrian allies, or risk Armageddon.However, the “play-crazy” gambit can only work when the leader is, in real life, a disciplined and intelligent actor, who knows precisely what actual boundaries must not be crossed. That ain’t Donald Trump — a pitifully shallow and ill-disciplined man, emotionally handicapped by obscene privilege and cognitively crippled by white American chauvinism. By pushing Trump into a corner and demanding that he display his most bellicose self, or be ceaselessly mocked as a “puppet” and minion of Russia, a lesser power, the War Party and its media and clandestine services have created a perfect storm of mayhem that may consume us all.— Glen Ford, Editor in Chief, Black Agenda Report
First they call me a ‘Russian Troll’ then ‘Anti-American’ then ‘Un-American’ then ‘Traitor’ because I oppose the wars that benefit the democrat warmongers…..? If not ‘current greater evil’ at least ‘equal greater evil’…..if there is any such thing as degrees of evil, perhaps evil is evil.
I’m not sure which evil is greater. It looks to me pretty close to a tie. The Democrats want to start World War 3, a nuclear war, as soon as possible. Either that, or they’re playing chicken, telling the world “do whatever we want or we’ll start World War 3.” I wonder if they really believe they can “win” a nuclear war, or even survive a nuclear war. I find it much more believable that the outcome of a nuclear war would be the story of the 1959 film “On the Beach.” In that story, everyone dies in the end,… Read more »
Hiroyuki, you’ve summarized well the crisis that we’re facing. I hope more people realize this soon.
