I didn’t say you called him crazy, I only implied that he might think he was crazy when he saw how nonsensical your response was. Nowhere did he say anything about democracy being the most viable option. All he did was list out the steps of a color revolution and point out the similarities to what’s happening now. Your response flat out ignored actual things that he said and even fed into what the mainstream narrative would be during a color revolution.
So I’m not sure that you actually did read it
You're getting pretty convoluted here. Implicit in his posts is the idea that we shouldn't be discouraged from thinking voting is still important... Not sure how you're missing that.
Disagreeing with what he wrote does not mean that I ignored any of it. You've had a knee-jerk reaction to a mild and courteous criticism of OP's notions, and now you're trying rationalize it.
No, he literally never said or even implied that voting was important. He simply explained and outlined what a color revolution was while explaining where we are in it.
Him explaining how the CIA uses democracy to exploit a populace does not mean that he’s supporting democracy
He's warning us about a tactic of color revolutions to subvert faith in elections in the context of current electoral audits. There is a clear implication that either we shouldn't be so discouraged, and/or that voting is still significant at this stage (it isn't in most of the West).
