I just read an article on the Daily Mail which is a report on the South African government's negative to seize the yacht of a Russian oligarch who has said yacht in a South African port. Of course I hardly ever read the news, I mainly go to the comments section to see what people are saying. This one looked good because it has over 1,500 comments.
Ok, first of all I have to say I do not agree with this ongoing seizure of goods, particularly when they belong to a private citizen. I do not know who the owner is, well I saw the name but I had never heard of this person. Undoubtedly his fortune must be, at least partly,from ill gotten Russian assets, but this happens in every country, I bet you there are thousands of yachts whose owner's fortunes proceed from very dubious sources. shouldn't they be seizing all of these yachts regardless of where the owner is from?
So OK, I do not agree with this, I think it is tantamount to robbery and has become a modus operandi of Western "Democracies", just think of it, Russian, Iranian, Venezuelan property seized and probably stolen for good. Yes, it probably was stolen in the first place, but from the citizens of said countries, so the West mainly steals it all over again.
But no what I was getting at, is how the people who write these comments are either mentally challenged or are well frankly I don't know what. One of the main ideas in these particular comments was for English people to stop buying South African wines. This is extremely funny as last year when somehow , and as usual, the French pissed off the British for some reason, one of the things said was, let's not buy any more French stuff, if we want wine we can have great South African wines, they are cheaper and South Africa is even a part of the Commonwealth. And yes, I saw the comment I was looking for in this article, "Let's not buy South African wine, we can buy much better French wine". Wow, man what is happening to the World?
Most comments are fake. I would estimate 80%
I am sure that there are people who are paid to promote x agenda, probably there are some who do it just for the heck of it, but there are some who do write what they believe is true and is pretty obviously a farce, these are the ones that worry me.
The ones that write for free are the weakest minded. Their opinion is shaped by people paying for comments. The agenda funders are the problem. They are the root cause both in Russia and China and in the west.
