Yet Another In The List Of Rat Bastards Who Didn't Die Soon Enough

Something at POLITICO worth reading, about another fucking Nazi glibertarian who probably should have died in WWII.
The cult of Lee Kuan Yew has poisoned Eastern Europe, but we should remember that it is also a global phenomenon. Brilliant Western intellectuals, CEOs and leaders created this cult over many years at Davos and other conferences and summits of the global power elite, thus fueling the authoritarian temptation in Eastern Europe.

Vladimir Putin, Viktor Yanukovych, Mikhail Saakashvili all knew full well that the Singaporean authoritarian was viewed with respect and awe in the West. They knew it so well they hoped to emulate his very success.

Yet these eulogies for Lee’s brand of authoritarianism have sounded like a siren song in Eastern Europe. And I believe they point to something deeper and more troubling. They reveal, on some level, a lack of confidence among our supposed democratic elites in the very idea of democracy.

Lee Kuan Yew would no doubt approve.
