The article in question was written by Tempe O’Kun and Dralen Dragonfox, whom speak in the form of opinion (which the article is tagged as) and not as matter of fact. Patch's site doesn't have the ability to give contributors their own profile so he posted them as himself as a work around.

Of course the word opinion is in tiny font at the very bottom of the page, so when it comes to that it can be understandable why there is confusion as to who is saying the message and if it's being presented as fact or opinion.

Websites and news in general, including this one, should should always improve at discerning hard news from opinion pieces. Because I think that's why a lot of politicians can get away with pointing at a fact piece and claiming "well it's their opinion man and they're biased."

People have been trying to control the political dialog (or lack there of) of the fandom as a whole since its inception, with varying degrees of success. I grew up during the era of the Burned Furs, and unbeknownst to me at the time had interacted regularly with some people who were in that group.

During the "Digg" aggregated news area I was a regular member of furryne.ws which apparently was lead by a guy that was a member of a group called "Improved Anthroporphics" which many had noted was an spin off of the Burned Fur movement. I just like the idea of the site at the time, and avoided the personal politic of the leadership.

If socialism concerns you, you should also talk to 2 Gryphon, who if I recall voted for Bernie Sanders in the primary and Trump in the main election. In other words, was what we in the states called a "Bernie Bro". Someone who wanted to shake the Democrat establishment by voting for Bernie Standards to make the left wing more socialist, and in failing that, and the moderate democrat Hillary Clinton winning, just decided to take their anger out by voting for Trump.

AKA as soon as they didn't get the Socialism, went strait to the Authoritarian.

At least Venezuela got their socialist in there and had him die before the Authoritarian took over in their place. But perhaps it is better that we got the Authoritarian who is a bit bumbling and doesn't really know how to use the full weight of his office. Because I can assure that the U.S. is going to be taking a long look at what happened here and patching our government system in response to the exploit being utilized by black hat Social Engineers from Russia.
