So 97% of climate scientists believe in anthropogenic climate change. What's in it for them? Funding? Nope.
Since the cold war the Russians have focussed on 'Duginism'. It's a geopolitical theory based on seeding unrest inside Russia's enemies. It is not about taking a position but creating discord within societies. They try to amplify both sides of arguments. It's pretty damn smart. They want everybody to be unsure about everything.
So you get climate deniers, flat-earthers, anti-vaxxers, brexiteers and q-anon. You get Tommy fucking Robinson and Gerard Batten and Farage is seen as moderate. And it's cheap as fucking chips for Russia! They've almost won and your genuine 'I'm so proud of our British forefathers fighting against fascism' lot are cheering it on!
So yeah, that c**t with dreadlocks who probably drinks water from a plastic bottle and has holidays in Florida and drives a diesel when he's not on telly is probably someone we should have a go at.
