Welcome to General Chat - GAW Community Area
This General Chat area started off as a place for people to talk about things that are off topic, however it has quickly evolved into a community and has become an integral part of the GAW experience for many of us.
Based on its evolving needs and plenty of user feedback, we are trying to bring some order and institute some rules. Please make sure you read these rules and participate in the spirit of this community.
Rules for General Chat
-
Be respectful to each other. This is of utmost importance, and comments may be removed if deemed not respectful.
-
Avoid long drawn out arguments. This should be a place to relax, not to waste your time needlessly.
-
Personal anecdotes, puzzles, cute pics/clips - everything welcome
-
Please do not spam at the top level. If you have a lot to post each day, try and post them all together in one top level comment
-
Try keep things light. If you are bringing in deep stuff, try not to go overboard.
-
Things that are clearly on-topic for this board should be posted as a separate post and not here (except if you are new and still getting the feel of this place)
-
If you find people violating these rules, deport them rather than start a argument here.
-
Feel free to give feedback as these rules are expected to keep evolving
In short, imagine this thread to be a local community hall where we all gather and chat daily. Please be respectful to others in the same way
Rules For the rest of the Site also accessible on the sidebar.

Some frogs may know of him already. Alexandr Dugin presented himself as pro-Trump and anti-globalism until 2025 when he turned on MAGA and began promoting deepstate mouthpieces including (but not limited to) those listed in the title.
Dugin's 1997 book Foundations of Geopolitics explicitly calls for Russia to use disinformation, subversion, and fomenting racial, ethnic, and political conflicts inside the US to create instability and promote isolationism. Playbook sound familiar?
He has publicly praised Tucker Carlson, Candace Owens, Alex Jones, Judge Napolitano, and others as ideological "friends" or "real America First" voices. Likely most here can spot the pattern in those names.
Mockingbird media calls Dugin "Putin's brain" although Putin has never publicly referenced Dugin and the two have never met. Because Russia Russia Russia.
For further reading here are some informative X posts, which I will also copy / paste into the comments.

"She extended goodwill through the transition and into Kennedy’s first months as Secretary. Then she asked him directly, by phone, to rescind the COVID-19 PREP Act declaration. In May 2025, Kennedy told her he knew what she was asking, but that Trump would not let him do it. She raised the question again in a later conversation.
He told her to sue him."
