Drone was intercepted near Dzerzjinsk last night. Yes, it is named after Felix Dzerzjinsky. No, it's nowhere near the Ukrainian border. If fact it's further away than Moscow.
I've only seen snippets for now, haven't found the time to watch the whole clownshow, but where in heck are you seeing even a hint of "leftism" anywhere in that? It's just a continued shitting on USSR, on Lenin and hints of nationalism
Is it hypocrisy? Pretty sure libs are fully aware of what they're doing. Even made up a funny name for it - "intolerance of the intolerant".
And the more maskless libs would say it's just evidence Biden is a commie. Coz, ya know, only dem auto-ree-tareen commies do suppression, not like true FEEEDUM loving folks
Apparently Russian State Humanities University (РГГУ) is opening a new branch. It is called "High Political School", named after famous fascist sympathiser Ilyin and will be headed by Dugin (you know Dugin). The announced goal is to "Channel the attendees into traditional values" with "orthodox gymnasiums as an example". Folks here been saying Russia "isn't heading to fascism". Guess this isn't it, hm.
In other news, two AFU drones have reportedly been intercepted in my region, close to the city. We're hundreds of kilometres away from Ukrainian border.
Pretty sure they've started preparing for war long ago. The first coup in Ukraine was in, what, 2004? Then there was a wave sweeping southern republics. 2008 was war between Russia and Georgia, plus the financial crisis. Arguably they've started preparing at least back then
Why does NATO feel the need to conduct a huge military exercise all of a sudden if Russia is collapsing and thing are going great for NATO
Let me put on my lib hat. Ahem.
Well akschually this is not a big exercise, it's just a fraction of the total NATO power which is so awesome in fact it would make your heart stop! Why, donthca tankies always moan about USA sending a million people in the LIBERATION of Iraq?! 90 thousand is just a teeny tiny bit of that, and it would be enough to scare that Putler straight!
Because it was the center of the capitalist class. That's about it. Every other capitalist state has issues you've described. I'm in Russia, and we get school shootings, stabbings and more nowadays. Despite having significantly more strict gun control laws.
Think dialectically. USSR began to have issues with gang violence in its later days, as the society was entering a crisis and the leadership was slowly, but surely abandoning socialist principles.
Aside, I’m noticing a lot of knee jerk defensiveness lately on this comm when the US is criticised
Point an instance of my comment "defending the USA".
Imperial Russia was also "settler". Everything east of Gorky was conquered from the natives and settled. In fact, conquest of Ural and siberia coincided with the European colonisation of Americas.
Idealist rubbish. Culture, all superstructure, follows the basis. The USian culture is "psychotic" because the basis is capitalist. Would you say Chinese culture before the revolution was "psychotic", what with the foot binding and the treatment of peasants? No, you would not. Would you say Russian culture is "psychotic", given everything the Russian Empire had done? Then why would you slap a label on 300 million people?
Remember when people thought those panicked articles in NYT meant NATO/Ukraine would quietly roll back to the original Russian demands?
Good times.
