Oliver Stone: Russia’s Anti-Gay Law Is “Sensible”
As if we needed proof that he's a deranged nutbag.
Filmmaker and conspiracy theorist Oliver Stone has made no secret of his admiration for Russian President Vladimir Putin, but now he has taken it to a whole new level by trying to make him his 22-year-old daughter’s godfather. “Does she want to become an Orthodox Christian?” Putin asked when Stone floated the idea during a sit-down in the Kremlin.
Putin appeared to wriggle his way out of the proposal (“You have to ask her,” he said) before Stone went on to complain about “American culture,” taking particular issue with what he described as a focus on gender identity and people labeling themselves as “transgender” and “cisgender.”
Stone quickly steered the conversation toward a controversial 2013 Russian law banning “homosexual propaganda” among minors, a law which experts say has prompted a surge of homophobic violence in the country. “It seems like maybe that’s a sensible law,” Stone said.

I read this too, OP, and realized that it was possible for me to dislike this man even more than I already did.
Add him to the liberals who became right wingers thread.

I actually know Oliver who is indeed certifiably crazy. He is also the luckiest man I've ever met in that usually people who suffer from his kind of borderline personality disorders end up in institutions. Oliver was able to channel his insanity into creativity, and he does have a certain charm that really worked when he first came to Hollywood -- that, and the fact that this father Lou worked at the brokerage Haydn, Stone for his entire life and was able to support his only child with a great deal of money until Oliver finally made it on his own.

So he's a member of the lucky sperm club?

Oliver Stone did so many good movies earlier in his career and used to be so liberal.
I don't understand what happened.

Oliver was never liberal. He is reactive. Ie: he only reacts against things, and usually that either means authority figures or the cultural zeitgeist. So in the 80s, when Reaganism was in full swing, and his father was part of that republican cheerleading squad, Oliver raged against them. When liberals got power, Oliver raged against them. Now that most people he knows hate Russia and Putin, Oliver supports Putin. He'll change again, depending on what the weather is.

Well, the left has become very crazy, too, what with pushing the Trans Lobby agenda and all it entails and other fringe issues. That's why I became an Independent this year. I won't vote Republican since they've always been extreme ever since I could vote, but it saddens me that the Democrats have moved far left. That's when you enter crazy territory.

R16 typical SJW black and white thinking! In their eyes, I'm the enemy if I criticize the Democrats. Just like the far right (i.e., Trumpsters) can't bear to have their party/leader criticized. Fools! They're one and the same, just different ideologies.

This is what I posted on the "Let's Pretend We're Russian Troll Farm" thread:
[quote] I'm a lifelong liberal but all those SJWs led by AOC are going to get Trump reelected in 2020! Dems are too focused on trans rights, BLM, and all those woke queers to care about working class Americans in Wisconsin.
Notice any similarities with some of the posters on this thread?

It is possible to still be on the left and like Russia. As we have seen over the last few years there has been a divergence on Russia. The Democratic left in this country now hates Russia, but the Labour Left, led by Jeremy Corbyn, in the UK are still enthralled by them.
When are people going to understand that this is what Putin's aim is? All he wants is disorder and disunity in the west. He wants to play every group off of each other. He not only wants the left and right to be against each other, inside of countries, he wants the left or the right of one country to not agree with the left or right of another country, especially among allies like the US and UK.

There's no reason for the Left anywhere to admire Russia. It is a criminal kleptocracy, so even if you're a socialist, it goes against everything you stand for.

This is odd since his favorite Mary Renault book is [italic]The Persian Boy[/italic] which was used as a reference for his Film Alexander. Actually, the first half of Alexander is pretty much an adaptation of The Persian Boy.
However, lumping the gender fluid freaks and Trans with gay rights is unforgivable.

With Putin, it's really just a matter of following the money (power). He's rich, very rich. Why is he rich? Because he owns a large chunk of the Russian economy. What underpins the Russian economy? Oil. So, Putin pushes against any responsible actions to combat climate change that involves lowering the use of oil. He likes to foment disorder in other countries because it means they're less likely to put up a united front against Russia's shenanigans.
It's really not that hard.
Stone, meanwhile, is showing his daddy complex. Same with Trump. They love that authoritarian Daddy figure that's Putin.

He has become a right-wing troll. He used to be anti-Vietnam; anti-establishment and liberal.
I guess he just wanted to be liberal about violence in movies. Ever since that "W" puff-piece movie, he's been making and spouting conservative crap.
And he sexually harassed Our Lady of the Shitbra!

Don't forget he was a rent-boy when he first came to Hollywood. He was actually once a handsome guy.
As Lincoln said, after 40 a man is responsible for his own face.

r34 it's really not that simple. Putin also has a stated goal of restoring the Soviet Union, meaning former Soviet states that are now "independent" countries. Yes, he's in it for himself too, but he sees himself as the restorer of Russia's "rightful" place as a superpower. All of his deals come with a price, which is why you have freaks like Oliver Stone and that fat actor guy fellating him.
