One way to stop the alt-right Russian propaganda campaigns from undermining trust in our institutions would be to improve those institutions in order to avoid giving those who aim to disrupt our society so much authentic discontent to work with. But that would take competent government and difficult choices, grappling with under-acknowledged problems, and making radical changes to our economy to make it more financially, democratically, and ecologically sustainable. Why bother, when you can instead simply hire anti-Kremlin influencers like me?

  • Genuine disdain for authoritarianism in general and Vladimir Putin in particular
  • My Internet comments are regularly seen by an audience of dozens
  • Reasonable hourly rates

Give me a call and I'm sure we can work something out.

God, this is so succinctly put. Well done.

A huge, huge part of the problem is self-inflicted, with thirty years of neoliberal-induced decay providing fertile grounds full of resentment and disillusionment, ripe for protofascists to grow their poison fruit in.

I'll show disdain for all two and a half of our parties for free!
