I think you missed my point. I have a lot of respect for Naomi Klein but that respect is diminished when she takes the occasion of yet another US military coup against yet another Latin American democratically elected leader leader to bring up his mistakes or flaws. All she's doing is throwing a huge sop to the establishment for no good reason at the worst possible time, and in her case (not in yours) it makes me wonder about careerist motives. I only mentioned you because you said things like: "What kind of an idiot is Morales?"; and "Then the idiot resigns! To prevent more violence (?!) like Yanukovich never existed! Like a show of weakness works every time? Its an absolute red rag. All I can say is... God almighty"; and referred to him as a "free-style fleeing champion". (I see that you have partially disavowed this last description, but the context of the remark did not make it at all clear that you weren't speaking for yourself.) Whether the remarks were justified or not - I think not - there's no occasion to make them, especially when we are the real idiots who can't manage to get our own government's imperial boot off Bolivia's neck. |
