Platt, you said
"kissing up to Ho Chi Min in North Korea"
Another "red rag" with zero quality (and no truth either).
Platt, as you know I'm as against marxists, liberals or conservatives
using MoQ for partisan political propaganda as you are. Quality goes
out of the window and opposing political slogans get bandied around -
like your magical fictional invention above, really made me chuckle.
The way to change the world is to fix motorbikes, and do your own thing well.
Not debate global politics. People have been doing that for centuries
and look where that's got us.
The politics emerges bottom-up from people doing as they would be done by.
Ant, you really should know better.
