And then there's this straight up racism:
(9.31) Zizek: Russian media, they have a full return to religious fundamentalism, they portray the war in Ukraine as the war of Christian civilization against demoniac Satanism and so on. I mean they are no less than Arabs, they are today in the worst sense fanatical religious fundamentalists, they have to be stopped unconditionally. The West has to stop this ambiguous game of trying to support Ukraine but not too much so that we will not annoy Russia too much, and so that we will not hurt our standard of living too much. No, we are in an emergency state, we, Europe.
Morgan: I completely agree with you.
And they both try to act like they're the sensible, pragmatic ones holding the reasonable middle ground against the extremists on both sides. Boggles the mind really...
jeers,
I
