“Russians are not revolutionaries at heart. They won’t fight civil wars to overthrow dictators. They don’t value freedom like we do.”
Contender for the dumbest goddamn thing I’ve ever read
It’s not even in the article.
I mean, it’s the title of the article, but the quote is never directly attributed to anyone. It’s just the headline.
Even the bullshit is getting enshitified.
Imagine believing that news headline when the oil price has been skyrocketing over the last month, lmfao.
The so-called “Russian media” that Sky News quotes is “The Bell”, another Western propaganda mouthpiece masquerading as Russian.
These are the same people who fell for The Ghost of Kiev,
The Russians are fighting with shovelsandthey blew up their own pipelineYou could probably convince them to eat a sponge if you told them it was a piece of cheese
Don’t forget “they’ve never seen roads” or “they’ve never seen washing machines before”.
No one here in the Treats Realm has the right to say that our broader population+culture “values freedom” lmao, if the US intervened in Canada after an Albertan independence referendum or smth how many Americans would be willing to sabotage rail lines or break into army supply depots
“Freedom” to most westerners means the freedom to be ignorant and the freedom to be cruel and the freedom to be selfish and exploit others. These are the freedoms that the west prides itself on.
250-year-old state be like this 35-year-old state that we carved out of a 74-year-old state founded in revolution is a uniquely-inert state in charge of a culturally-domesticated people that cannot conceive of radical changes in the organization of their state. anyways we’re going to war with 40% approval from the outset and no meaningful opposition is forming in or out of power.
Lmao that’s a top 3 all time comment right there.
I love when people talk so confidently out of their own asses
Then when they’re absolutely proven wrong, which they always are, you hear the chorus of
No one could have predicted this!Aw, that’s cute, they’ve never read a history book beforewtf do they think a czar was
wtf do they think a czar was
Kazaar wers a peer ta peer sharin’ survis fer parits
Damn I wonder what happened in Russia in 1917… must have been the wind…
yeah lmao even politics apart every one know russians do revolutions for breakfast. There was insurection there all accross history.
Case in point
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pugachev's_Rebellion https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Uprising_of_Bolotnikov
wasnt there a coup attempt just like a couple of year ago?
Yeah there was iirc, like you said, politics aside the russians do revolutions a lot more than what I bet this USian or other westerner’s countrymen do.
