OSAKA: Russian President Vladimir Putin fired a new broadside against Western liberalism on Saturday, saying that policies such as welcoming migrants have hurt people’s interests.

Speaking after the Group of 20 summit in Osaka, Putin said Donald Trump’s victory in the 2016 US election and a drop in the popularity of traditional parties in Europe were rooted in growing public dismay with mainstream liberal policies.

“The liberal idea has started devouring itself,” Putin said. “Millions of people live their lives, and those who propagate those ideas are separate from them.”

He also charged that the influx of migrants to Europe has infringed on people’s rights. “People live in their own country, according to their own traditions, why should it happen to them?”

The Russian leader added that while “liberal ideas remain attractive as a whole”, election results show that people want change".

He also responded to criticism from singer Elton John, who accused Putin of duplicity after he offered a critical view of the Western emphasis on LGBT rights, which he said amounted to "overreach" in some cases.

“I deeply respect him, he is a musical genius and we all love his performance, but I believe he’s mistaken,” Putin said.

He argued that Russia’s ban on “propaganda” of LGBT culture among children is aimed at protecting them from aggressive proselytising by the LGBT community.

“Let a person grow up first before making a choice,” he said. “Let the children in peace.”

He said that “our attitude to the LGBT community is absolutely calm and unbiased,” but added that “this part of community aggressively enforces its point of view on others.”

“In some European countries parents are told that girls can no longer wear skirts to school? What is this?” Putin said in a rambling monologue blasting policies meant to encourage tolerance.

“There are all kinds of things now — they came up with six or five genders: transformers, trans… I don’t even understand what it is.

“Representatives of the liberal idea impose certain sexual education in schools, parents don’t want it and are practically jailed … people are fed up,” he said.

“This may explain the Trump phenomenon, his victory, this is why unhappy people take to streets in Western Europe.”

Yep.

And they DO push on kids. I used to think it was crazy, but after seeing these Priests get Stung with microphones and Drag Queen Story Time Hour, it's pretty clear.

Why does he sound like the only sane adult among the power elite?

He may sound sane but he is worse than any US politician by a lot. He is a corrupt, homicidal dictator

Remember when Putin talks about liberalism, by default it means "the opposite of tyranny". It means individual rights, freedoms, and the rule of law.
What Putin really means is that democracy is for wimps.
Real men have strong men running the show.

If it makes even Putin barf, it's gotta be THAT BAD.

"Why are we here today?" she asked.
"To make revolution," they answered.
"What kind of revolution?" she replied.
"The Cultural Revolution," they chanted.
“And how do we make Cultural Revolution?" she demanded.
"By destroying the American family!" they answered.
"How do we destroy the family?" she came back.
"By destroying the American Patriarch," they cried exuberantly.
"And how do we destroy the American Patriarch?” she replied.
"By taking away his power!"
"How do we do that?"
"By destroying monogamy!" they shouted.
"How can we destroy monogamy?"

...

"By promoting promiscuity, eroticism, prostitution and homosexuality!" they resounded.

Thanks, that was an excellent read.

Pretty funny that women at the Ivy League think of themselves as oppressed. The rest of the article is very sad though.

Going after women is the key. Isn't that what the story of the garden of eden taught us?

For a guy leading a country where 23% of the population literally shits in the holes dug in the ground (number courtesy of Rosstat) he talks too much about faults of the West while he should talk more about indoor plumbing.

Besides, most of that loony left shit is (and has been for decades) is stirred by KGB/FSB. Watch Bezmenov's interviews on y-tube.

No shit, dems are always flying the old Soviet flag even when they say they hate Russia now, dems are the saddest kind of joke the kind that don't even realize it.

I’ve always thought Putin to be a madman, but he makes a lot more sense than the US political left.

I see college idiots with red flag pins all the time. One of my East European students asked these morons if they know that several times more people were killed under red flag than under swastika. Of course, that was news which young socialists could not believe.
