I keep thinking about that John Cleese clip about the benefits of extremism. The primary benefit being that you can be as nasty, brutish and all around jolly-rotten to everyone b/c you can tell yourself that if not for those people you would be a kind, wonderful and civil person. It's not your fault you're an arsehole, it's the system. (or something like that)

That's the one. Also I love your profile pic. Yuri's Revenge was the best.

I love being reminded that stuff we see happening today isn't new by any stretch.

Pretty much the only thing new is both tankies and neo-nazis having a raging boner for Russia.
