To its devotees the bowtie suggests iconoclasm of an Old World sort, a fusty adherence to a contrarian point of view. The bowtie hints at intellectualism, real or feigned, and sometimes suggests technical acumen, perhaps because it is so hard to tie.

Russian people really don't like it when somebody does horrible things in Russia, and then can calmly go travel to another country and spend time there.

Its every failure is explained away as due to the inadequacies of particular leaders.
