The press is
calling Putin a pariah.
"Pariah is no neutral term. Pariah means “outcast, persona non grata,
leper, undesirable, unperson, nonperson.” Historically it referred to
low caste persons in India. It’s a highly prejudicial and inflammatory
term. It’s meant to encourage the cutting off of communications with
that person and worse. It denigrates the person to whom it is applied
and that raises the war temper, the idea being that it’s then right to
treat that person with destructive violence and sanctions. Creating
demons is a step on the road to war, and that is what this yellow
journalism is up to. "
No war with Russia, please.
