This is tangentially related, but Bevins shared some info about DPRK's initial political system after WWII that conflicted with what the Blowback guys reported. In The Jakarta Method, he mentioned that the Soviets had a heavy hand in influencing the political structure in the North, which also included violence and imprisonment. However, Noah and Brendan said that the Soviets were very hands off while the Koreans organized their political committees, and that stories of Soviet influence were very overblown. Is it possible to know on which side the truth lies?
My gut leads me to think that the truth lies on the side of what Noah and Brendan said. Why? Because I've listened to Vincent Bevins before on interviews and he's still fighting with that idealism. Why do I make this claim? Because he still thinks that some people involved in the HK riots, the guarimbas in Venezuela, the Maidan shit, etc, were well-meaning, but their movements were taken over by reaction, in other words, co-opted. I do not believe that and hindsight is 20/20. These activities from the moment they were invented had a direction, and just because some well-meaning folks who spout ''leftist'' slogans were duped, does not mean those movements were at any time on our side.
Let's look at the HK shit. We saw from the beginning, Union Jacks and signs asking Trump to intervene. Later we saw even Azov clowns over there, and they were calling people in the mainland of China, cockroaches or locusts. Nobody here with their head on straight, will look at that and conceive, in any way possible, that those people are ''left'' or fighting for anything good. Let's look at Maidan next. I don't give a shit if Yanukovych isn't a lefty or anything, but the people out in the streets were supportive of the EU, that's a red flag for me, while shouting pro-Western slogans, and being overtly Russophobic, plus, we even saw US officials on stage over there.
But, bro, I see a US flag or something, and my sirens go off. Because I've seen enough, man. I've been following Venezuela's story closely for the past 6yrs or so, and I've learned so much observing escuálidos. These people never act spontaneously or alone. Reaction is always directed, and from the same studio at ''Always the Same Map, Inc.''
