Ukraine's shit show

More six years since the start of the revolution of dignity, Ukraine remains a sham democracy. It is a primitive post-soviet feudal autocracy. Democracy here is not underpinned by elections or coordinated work of institutions, but by popular uprisings. Absent them, even the illusion of democracy would not exist.

Dialectical discourse is dead. In Ukraine thesis and its antithesis are irrelevant. The Hegelian approach no longer applies. Evolving real ideas is passé. Reality is no longer expressed in rational categories.

The country’s president is a proud ignoramus. He did not prepare a platform to run on, acquaint himself with international leaders or foreign policy matters or otherwise prepare himself to govern.
