This war has nothing to do with Russian culture. It has and always was bcz of a shit government.
I mean Russia has throughout History been known as the rape murder monster. 🤷
So did the UK. Are we going to eradicate Dickens as much as Tolstoy?
Yes but also no. The difference is, the UK is no longer that which it once was. Russian, still is the monster it always was.
Me: this person that we are currently talking about is known for bad things.
You: hey whataboutism this person?! (who has nothing contextual to do with the post/comments) they did bad things!
Disagree. Russian culture is based heavily upon many things that are counterproductive and harmful to others. For example, corruption is not merely an aspect of the government, but the culture of Russia. Corruption is evident in every aspect of their society, it is practically expected that your boss steals from the company, and that you steal from your boss, it is why there are stories from before the Ukraine war of people walking into military supply depots and buying military weapons off of the soldiers there. Alongside that is a culture that promotes abuse, that celebrates poverty and stealing from others to get by, it is partly why the domestic abuse rate is so high and why Russian soldiers stole Toilets during the opening of the war. Then you also have the part of Russian culture which insists upon dominating all other cultures around them, as they have done for a thousand years, suppressing the natives and trying to eradicate their cultures, and insisting that Anything that is opposed to this is evil, or "Nazi" as they now use these days. That's not even getting into issues like the mass raping of children that we saw in the opening of the war, and the fact the soldiers would film it to share with friends and family, who would collectively Laugh at the horrific crimes being done. When citizens are asked about these crimes, their response is always the same; "It didn't happen, but also they deserved it."
This is not simply an issue of a horrible government, it is an issue of a culture that promotes Evil and claims it to be good purely because it is Russians doing it. Even their religion is just another arm of this, promoting their evil ways. Also, even if it was simply due to a "shit government" it seems odd that Every Russian government in their history has been mired in horrific things, every single ruler, every regime, there is not one point in time where you can say that the government wasn't shit.
In the words of George Orwell: "A people who elect criminals are not victims, but accomplices."
Dude, you're an idiot if you really believe that.
Learn Russian history, learn about the culture, then learn about the horrific things they have done in not only the Ukraine war, but Every war they've ever been involved in. Then, come back to me.
Yeah this is just racist dude. Reconsider your perspective.
Yeah, you don't need to write a big longnwinded racist comment about Russian people. I have a few Russian friends. They are nothing like what you describe.
No racism was intended. Perhaps I expressed myself poorly.
I do not consider the Russian people be any dumber or inferior than any other nation. I meant that their civil society has not had the opportunity to grow and develop into a strong democracy like many European countries.
I too have many Russian friends and most of what I wrote I have learned from discussions with them. And more than a half of my father's ancestors are Russian.
You could have written something very similar about the USA, just that their oligarchy started a few centuries earlier.
