Nothing they are doing has any connection to Judaism. Other than bullshit lines Israeli officials say, that also align more with particular kind of Christianity, utilizing kinda augmented Jews’ role in it.

I’ve met Russian-speaking Israelis in TG, and even if he hasn’t, they already think that.

Judaism is not what you’re saying.

We-ell, I’ve seen it in a Russian TG chat. IIRC the conversation implies two soldiers deserted, were in a house in the middle of nowhere, one killed another, ate him for a couple of weeks, then died. Then their, eh, brothers in arms found that place.

No. NATO is an extension of this particular shark. Countries in NATO or allied to it are abusing with impunity those not in.

Food delivery as something normal, I’d think. Plumber coming soon after being called. Appointment with doctor to a close enough date.

Those things affected by actually having labor rights and less dependence on colonial mechanisms.

I have an answer different from the others.

US economy depends on the US intellectual property system, a few US monopolist companies and the US dollar, and the financial system.

Especially the intellectual property system. However different laws can be in various countries, in fact everybody tries to follow US law.

It means that a lot of things produces elsewhere mean royalties to US companies, and a lot of things can’t be produced without permission, control of markets, planned development of microelectronics and tech in particular, yadda-yadda.

So - if, in some hypothetical situation, that IP system is undone, with some countries having similar laws, some more like USSR’s “public domain by default with some fixed payment to patent holders”, and all the intermediate variants, then you’ll just have a second depression. Because a huge part of the economy will shrink.

US foreign debt is a meme subject, but honestly, if USD stops being the world’s most reliable currency, you’ll also probably have a default.

US actual industrial production (what doesn’t shrink as easily) is not so impressive when looking at its size. A lot about US level of life doesn’t really match the efficiency of the economy. Say, if you look at Germany, life there is very different. In some ways better, maybe, but many things normal in the US are not achievable there.

My point is - the American IP laws were spread around by pressure. Not just that, but sometimes the monopoly roles of American companies. Part of that pressure is the military guarantor role.

If that stops being relevant, a lot of things which were a given for your economy for many years will stop existing. And for a few other economies too. It might not look as bad as the USSR’s collapse, but it will probably look as ruined and unpredictable as the 1960s world.

I’m sorry, this seems to imply the US doesn’t “feast on the smaller sharks”. It went as far as threatening Japan with sanctions because they were considering “digital sovereignty” with TRON OS as opposed to Windows at some point. Japan is almost a non-optional ally.

And also one good solution of preventing someone from doing that is arming the smaller sharks. Yet USA seems even more against more equal spread of technologies and weapons than the “next two sharks”.

The problem with the statement from the title is that a non-violent movement that big won’t happen in many countries, or sometimes won’t happen without turning violent. Both should be accounted for when talking about this.

I’ve been fed up with logic, common sense and such as opposed to stats at some point, because I was mostly reading ancap stuff and ancaps are a bit too detached in that direction.

But it’s rightfully said often that throwing stats is just another kind of lies. Interpreting statistics is too complex, most people can’t do that, common sense and logic are indeed more important.

He didn’t. Trump also didn’t.

OK, looking at how Israel and various cutthroats are perceived by the west, it’s a valid question why Russia is seen differently.

That’s more or less what I’ve read.

In the movies it’s portrayed as if Nazis made everything clean, orderly, “civilized”, but the unfavorable people were removed and killed, slave labor was used and so on, and all of it in the atmosphere of “civilization and normalcy”.

It’s probably to communicate the shock, but in fact things were like you describe them.

Nazis would rule in a medieval way, so to say, minus divine right to rule. Random murders (again, without normalcy or formality, just so, and quite brutal sometimes), torture locations in buildings with windows always open amid crowded enough places, where sounds of someone being beaten to death were heard day and night, such stuff.

The other guy is right too, most people learned to perceive this as normal and not everyone was killed for being not loyal enough, just a few.

Like in today’s Russia not every 16 years old schoolgirl gets into prison for 8 months for blowing up a petard in a public place, the number of whose who does is not big enough to imprint in the public that this even happens, but enough to spread non-verbal fear. Similar with posting a random protest text, or saying something about war, etc. That’s called making an example.

OK, Russia’s regime has that innovation of doing these things covertly enough for there to not be open intimidation. Cause open intimidation causes public reaction more than they need. They are more careful.

I mean, technically there was some from Austrians against Turks.

Klemperer’s “Lingua Tertii Imperii” is a good read. It’s not all, just a bit to add.

Not worth an answer.

Go fuck yourself.

When a westerner sees something confirming the statement “Russian supports Putin”, in the absolute majority of cases he just doesn’t like the actual meaning of that something.

See, other that “supporting Putin” and “following the narrative of nations which had 20 years of development conditioned by guaranteed cheap Russian resource deals, backed by corruption and closing their eyes on the legality of the regime”, of course you’ll find very few very stupid Russians believing the latter.

It doesn’t mean they are part of the former.

The previous one he felt, but took for a turd

I just wonder if he knows how thin is the rope he’s walking since then. Or if he realizes that asylum in Russia is not very different from asylum in China or in Thailand or in Emirates or Saudia or … Point being, that despite all the European-looking people around, nobody will hear him cry if at some point somebody important decides to silence him just in case.

Or maybe he knows and feels just fine having joined the privileged caste here. Those people who generally don’t live in Russia at all, just visit it from time to time. I guess it’d be hard to blame him anyway, looking at Assange, who’ve spend a kinda big part of his life in the same small space slowly losing his mind.

There’s that weird but common enough perception of Russia among the dumber kind of Americans, that it’s some land of tough people of ideology similar to that dumb kind and what not. At the same time all such idiots who tried to really move to Russia were scammed of their money and ran home. And apparently similar attempts by Boers didn’t have different results.

Even the Star Wars picture of Mandalorians in the newer media sometimes borrowed from that stereotype and not from the initial references to Maori and western movies.

What I personally don’t understand is why’d you consider losers tough.

It has something common with cowardice, maybe - cowards consider places with lots of slave-master dynamic to have tougher people, because they don’t understand what “tough” even is.

So - Elon, don’t (I think Kadyrov did threaten to rape him in the past, so probably he understands that himself).

He does look a bit like young Trump with fake tan removed. But just a bit, and I think bootlicking enough is a better explanation. Narcissistic people don’t care that much about biological relation anyway.
