medium | Lately I’ve
been getting a lot more accusations of being a Kremlin agent and
questions about my motives and agendas in response to my writings and
far fewer actual arguments against the content of my writing, as well as
demands that I stop arguing with this Russiagate thing and move on to
writing about other matters. I’ll tell you what: I’ll stop writing about
the Russiagate lies when they stop happening, how’s that sound? If
you foam-brained pussyhat-wearing cultists are going to keep using lies
to inadvertently manufacture support for America’s new cold war
escalations, the least I can do is try to throw a monkey wrench in it.
If
Russiagate was legit, the people responsible for selling it to us
wouldn’t have to come up with new lies about it constantly. There are many very real dangers of the Trump administration that we can focus on without fanning the flames of world-threatening tensions
between two nuclear superpowers based on lies, and the longer we spend
fighting over this crap the more of those dangers manifest unnoticed.
Russiagaters are the very worst kind of conspiracy theorist, and as long
as they’re imperiling my world with their complicity in the
manipulations of the US power establishment I’m going to keep fighting
them. Get used to it.
