Death to NATO

Agreed, that said- as a non-white (Asian) who was raised and lives in the west- these countries will find excuses to justify hatred and paranoia, or they'll create them. It is as natural to western society, and one of the primary characteristics of it and their specific brands of imperialism and neo-imperialism. Post-Soviet and Slavic people could present themselves unilaterally as slaves, belly-up in submission, and "allow" all kinds of atrocities to happen to them without a word of resistance, and the west would still find some way to hate and fear them- to justify their behavior towards them, if nothing else. In other words- nothing of (actual) value was lost, because this was going to happen one way or another. Same with the Islamophobic vitriol, or anti-Asian hate and Sinophobia, and the list goes on- if there had been no resistance or reciprocity, it still would not matter- the west would find a way to demonize and dehumanize even the most incapable of retaliation, in order to offset their own subconscious guilt and justify their continued actions.

If you ask me, this may be "just as planned" (because western states and institutions all work towards these results) but I'm looking forward to the time ahead- if you were to ask me, already increasingly in sight- where western society is relegated to where it belongs, as these are the most racist, imperialist, (actually) barbaric societies in existence, responsible for the bulk of modern evil and that of the past half millennia. Where all those sensible in the west and with means start heading elsewhere and rejecting the demagoguery they were raised within- already if you ask me, this is increasingly becoming the case, as neoliberalism has begun inflicting upon these imperial cores, even just a small fraction of the evils it has always wrought elsewhere, and meanwhile the greater world at large is increasingly able to resist. It won't matter quite as much as before how much the crackerverse can hate and fear post-Soviet peoples, if their societies increasingly are unattractive for those of post-Soviet descent, if their countries' narratives of hatred are increasingly falling apart and their contradictions are beginning to tear their own societies apart, and if their own people are even increasingly going so far as to be the ones to emigrate to post-Soviet states, and increasingly looking up to post-Soviet (or better yet, Soviet) culture- or any culture- as better than their own (which it is- all cultures may have their path to travel, but I will argue that western European culture, and Anglo-Saxon culture in particular, with 500 years of racism, imperialism, genocide, and all evils known to humanity being celebrated and indoctrinated into each successive generation, is undeniably inferior and will remain so until it undergoes a thorough cultural revolution that would make those undergone in the Soviet Union or China blush- and that's a hill I will absolutely die on).
