> [@Colibri](#): > > I disagree with that. > > He’s not “kind of” an idiot, he’s a complete and total idiot. He’s versatile. He fills more than one ecological niche.

Like Stalin was a mass murderer, a tyrant, a dictator, a communist thug and leader of thugs…and also had a dopey moustache. One man in his time plays many parts. ---
