Day 917

The truth of dialectics

Thanks to excellent means of vulgarization, unprepared leaders (i.e., those whose minds work feebly) are taught to reason. Their on-the-job military training convinces them that what they have decided is necessary, even if temporarily bad. But it sounds bizarre whenever they attempt to explain themselves in rational terms, because their not-quite-conscious life is much richer than their vocabularies.

This unflattering inadequacy was on full display during yesterday’s press conference in Kyiv, during which Z showed that he is obviously not up to the task of controlling his emotions, far less cooking up and divulging a comprehensible strategy to extract us from the bloody mess he helped fail to avert.

Asking questions in response to questions and then answering them is a tried-and-true Lukashenko tactic and a very bad look.
