10. "human rights activist" or braindead regressive?

this guy has a certain narrow focus on what he "protests", i.e., targets that Russian propaganda would like more attention to. And then--coincidence!--his lightshows just happen to immediately appear on Russia Today. One of his protests compared the USA to the Communist Stasi secret police, which is braindead regressive left at its best. (Irony is dead--RT featured that protest, not mentioning that Putin worked closely with the head of the Stasi when he was in the KGB based in Germany.)

Don't get me wrong, I despise the Saudi gov and all those fucked up theocracies in that area like Iran, but funny that this well-funded "human rights activist" hasn't targeted Iran or China or Russia or North Korea and chooses predetermined subjects that suits a particular agenda, and I suspect that agenda is not human rights in general.
