Loads of department heads telling their staff not to respond. Some no doubt doing it to assert their authority as part of jockeying for power. Others doing it because they are responsible and want to do things right. Then you have the happy clappers like Ed Martin 'making it so' in the hope of ingratiating themselves further with the new regime.

We're witnessing the world's most dysfunctional organisational change management programme, it would be proper popcorn stuff if it wasn't so serious.

Give it a rest you moron. You're the one who needs to read some history. When the USSR broke up Ukraine had the 3rd largest nuclear arsenal in the world. Under the terms of the Budapest Memorandum Ukraine agreed to give up all its nuclear weapons in exchange for Russia's guarantee to respect its independence and borders. How did that work out?

As for the 'coup' in 2014, then president Viktor Yanukovych turned dictator and became Putin's puppet. He jailed former presidential candidate Yulia Tymoshenko, curtailed press freedom and presided over widespread corruption in government. In November 2013 he refused to sign an association agreement with the EU under pressure from Putin despite Ukraine's parliament approving it by a huge margin. Protests against him intensified and in February 2014 nearly 100 protestors were killed when government forces opened fire on them. After signing an agreement with the opposition on 21st February Yanukovych immediately fled Kyiv and the following day Ukraine's parliament voted 328-0 to remove him from office because he had abdicated and withdrawn from his constitutional duties. Even some of his own party voted for his removal. They also voted to release Tymoshenko from prison and his own party formally disowned him. On the 24th he fled to Russia via Crimea with the help of Russian forces as confirmed by both Yanukovych and Putin. He now lives in comfortable exile in a house owned by the Russian Ministry of Internal Affairs near Moscow all paid for by the Kremlin. Yanukovych was a traitor.

You need to stop believing the lies and bullshit of Putin and his useful idiot Trump. The fact that this is your first post speaks volumes too.

It’s actually insane that anyone could blame Ukraine for any of this. What better evidence does anyone need that Russia are cunts?

That's laughable.

The perfect fumble said:
identity politics separates people into different categories and by using the language of power and oppression, the movement has become exclusionary. The left's toxic victimhood has eroded solidarity with groups it must forge common purpose with, because it is only by doing that, that progressive politics finds purchase and social progress can be achieved.

Pseudo science, gobbledegook and the primacy of lived experience is a blind alley, an indulgence of the well heeled middle classes. I say again, it's not that the lumpen masses, that you clearly despise, don't get it, they do, it's that you can't sell it and you can't sell it because it's bullshit.

The Democrats over there and Labour over here have lost a sizeable chunk of their working class constituency, primarily by being almost indistinguishable from the right when it comes to the economy and the distribution of wealth, they've augmented their losses by co-opting, and in so doing been strangled by, a patchwork quilt of grievance merchants, fantasists, grifters, self proclaimed community leaders, bad faith actors pretending to speak on behalf of made up oppressed groups and the clearly deranged.

But now in the face of Trump in the USA and the rise of the far right in Europe, the whole social justice grievance shit show is unravelling, the centre left is frantically back peddling, casting off as fast as it can this poisonous garbage.

Don't worry my friend, with a bit of luck there's a chance you normies can have your Bill Clinton 90s' back once all this crap has been jettisoned.

The right is gonna do what the right is gonna do.

Look on the bright side, all those grievance merchants that have been shouting "Oppressed! Oppressed!" on behalf of whoever's fashionable on the oppressed/oppressor scale, will now have to do a swift hat change to stay relevant coz now there's groups who are actually oppressed! Think of all the wonderful "I told you so" opportunities they'll be for the grifters! Still no worries, the progressive left can depend on all those allies they accumulated in the good times, except oh whoops! They don't have any! Coz they hate them, pissed them off with all those purity tests. I mean! Fuck me! How can you forge common cause with a pleb who can't spell intersectionality! Actually works at a factory farm, drives a diesel and knows the difference between men and women!

Navel-gazing, the politics of the self, of lived experience, that'll save us, and if the great unwashed disagree that's because they're ignorant haters, reactionary bastards, fuck em! We don't need em! Except! Oh shit! We do, aren't we supposed to be, like, on their side?

Yet I'm the troll who indulges in pithy remarks?

You see what you want to see, I understand, it's comforting.

It's really difficult to step out of your comfort zone, if you live in a bubble then it's easy to assume that everyone agrees with you, coz everyone you know does, it must come as an enormous shock when someone like Trump gets elected, how can that be!

I was reading that polls show that American's number one fear is other Americans! An overwhelming number of Americans believe a civil war is going to happen in their lifetime!

Everyone living in their silos, rubbishing anyone who disagrees with them, as you've just done, comforting yes, disastrous definitely.

USA is fast descending into a banana republic.
How appropriate that they have voted for a deranged Orang-utan as their leader.
(My humble apologies to the species...).

So many Americans consume, by their own choice and supposedly in search of what's really going on (or so they tell themselves) a constant media diet (legacy and social) that's sliced and diced to cater to their "group" prejudices, while simultaneously claiming their group's viewpoint is the unvarnished truth. It encourages them to hate and fear anyone in a different/opposing group and through constant confirmation bias rams home the belief they are 100% absolutely correct, and they must go unchallenged in this, if they are challenged it's akin to an attack worthy only of a visceral response, that's why so many Americans can't debate for shit.

It's happening here, but so far Brits don't seem to have taken to it with the same gusto, maybe we don't hate each other enough....yet.

Based on Dax's posts, I think the likelihood that Dax will ever vote for a Democrat once more are vanishingly small.

He’s not thick, stupid, racist or a really a Republican; he worked on Obama’s campaign. I don’t want empathy from him. I want him to remove his head from his ass before the mid-term elections because people like him are why Trump is the President. He’s made a stupid decision (which non-stupid people do sometimes) and now he can’t justify it. He’s made a mistake. Rectifying it will be a good thing for the world.

I find it hard to believe this Dax fellow worked on Obamas campaign & now supports the orange rapist. He sounds like your typical turncoat who just wants to align himself with the winning side. He probably supports Liverpool now or am I just assuming he's a blue or ex blue because he posts on here.

You need to go and read some history if you think the attack by Russia was unprovoked. America agreed not to enlarge NATO one inch East towards Russia when Germany was reunified. Then we had Victoria Neuland in 2014 and the coup in Ukraine and then we had the offer from Germany for Ukraine to join NATO to site just three reasons.
So If say a South American country decided to join the Russia Alliance, if there was such a thing, say Argentina for example, despite Russia agreeing never to do such a thing. And then over a few years the Russian Alliance moves steadily Northwards. At what point do you think America would say you can't put any weapons or biolabs on our border?

America agreed to no such thing.
 
All those military firings and under-qualified loyalists being put in?

A US history professor writes (it goes a bit historical towards the end, but about 2/3 is about the Trump takeover:
