Caleb Maupin, the founder, is said to be a National Bolshevik and a LaRouchist. He’s also alleged to be a sexual predator, and those allegations are why the CPI has disbanded.

The Center for Political Innovation was a faux-leftist organization dedicated to what they referred to as “anti-imperialism” (i.e. China, Russia, North Korea, Syria etc. apologia) and “optimistic socialism” (i.e. revisionism, useless reformism, and trying to endear themselves to the right by embracing nationalism and throwing marginalized groups under the bus).
Caleb Maupin was their leader - a minor media personality who worked for RT, runs a Youtube channel, and writes another tedious book what feels like every other week. He recently gained some notoriety for picking fights with some prominent leftist Youtubers for clout and accusing them all of being CIA-funded Malthusian primitivists and/or liberals and/or fascists. (edit: Hilariously, he also accused them of trying to get him murdered - this is what my flair is a reference to.)
After years of getting in trouble for his frequent antisemitism and transphobia, Maupin has now also been accused of sexually abusing other CPI members, and apparently, this was enough to undo the organization. (And nothing of value was lost.)

Putin is asking directly in case you were not paying attention.
As if he doesn’t already know. He and trump’s house cleaning staff, his golf pro and 17 Chinese nationals who came for a basement dinner one night.

Putin looks so convinced.
And very tired.

Tiny violin needs a bit of drama to really sell it. Dramatic nanobots playing the nanoviolin would be a start, but where’s the flare going to come from?

Well, like with any instrument the flare’s got to come from the performer.
So picture this, some entitled douchebag has just complained in your presence about karma catching up to them. “Oh, you poor baby. Let me play the world’s tiniest violin for you,” you say, rubbing a finger against your thumb.
Even as they roll their eyes at you, the music starts seemingly out of nowhere. You produce a microscope with a flourish “No, seriously. Look… I’m literally playing the world’s tiniest violin for you. It’s called a micronium, and I’ve rigged it up to a pair of sensors on my thumb and forefinger. I also composed this song myself”
You turn your hand to flip them the bird while still playing the micronium.
“It’s called Douche in F-U sharp.”
