Homo russicus: імперія як помста, культура як геноцид
zbruc.eu
Десять правил гігієни поводження з Росією.

cross-posted from: https://europe.pub/post/1289229

Rule #1. Russia’s traditionalism makes it surprisingly predictable. If Russia surprises you, then you don’t know Russia.

Rule #2. If Russia promises to do something good, it will never do it. Consequence: a treaty with Russia is not worth the paper it is signed on.

Rule #3. If Russia promises not to do something bad, it will definitely do it. Consequence: Russia will do it the moment you decide it will not do it.

Rule #4. If Russia promises to do something bad, it will definitely do it. Consequence: Russia will do it at the most inopportune moment for itself.

Rule #5. If Russia accuses someone of meanness or a crime, then it has already committed it.

Rule #6. If Russia claims that someone is preparing meanness or a crime, then it is preparing them.

Rule #7. If Russia makes an official statement, it is a lie.

Rule #8. Russia does not understand the language of force, it understands only force. The consequence: ultimatums and negotiations with Russia are useless, because it perceives them as a sign of weakness.

Rule #9. If you are afraid of “provoking Russia to escalate”, then you are mistaken. Escalation has been planned by Russia for a long time and does not need an additional reason, pretext or provocation.

Rule #10. If you are still afraid of Russia, then you are doing it in vain. You simply do not know Russia.

        I think they easily could use a nuclear bomb and kill millions of people in Europe, but whatever bot farm cooked up this fine post (if I’m being charitable) is probably operated by people who couldn’t care less.

          This is already tradition - the Russians scare us with nuclear bomb at least once every six months) You can hardly scare us with this) Stalin, when Hitler was marching on Moscow, banally put on his underwear and hid in the mountains… and only when the Ukrainians repelled the attack at Stalingrad - did he begin to lead the army.

              Yeah they do realize that, and they are (correctly AFAIK) identifying that Ukrainians made a huge contribution to that. Of the 27 million Soviets who died in WWII, about 7 million were Ukrainian. That definitely deserves to be remembered and we owe them just as much for the defeat of fascism. That being said, it’s absolutely deranged to act like it wasn’t a huge number of Russians, both soldiers and civilians, who died in Stalingrad (even if Ukrainians were brought in to help).

                Check with maps where Ukrainian people live. Do you know that even on OCCUPIED TERRITORIES russians force Ukrainians to fight against Ukrainians?

              What were the losses in the war of the Ukrainians and Belarusians, and what were the losses in the war of the Russians? Have you researched this?

              Secondly, look up maps and you will see that the territories where the Ukrainian population lives reach all the way to the Volga and also include the Kuban. The Ukrainians captured all the key cities during World War II, but the Russians attributed these victories to themselves. There are a lot of testimonies and memoirs about this. Therefore, Russia is nothing more than a bunch of rats who are incapable of anything except scaring with a nuclear bomb

                This is literally the same thing Hitler would’ve said. I don’t care if you think your descendants are Hyperboreans, Aryans, or whatever other racial or nationalistic narrative you were taught at the horse penis sucking school, we’re all just humans and whatever genetic and cultural differences exist between “races” are absolutely nothing next to the potential we have to transform ourselves if we drop these fascist wives’ tales. In a better world, instead of spewing this racial hatred online you would be researching medicine or agricultural technology in a Soviet lab and going home to a multi-ethnic and multi-cultural family. That’s the world your fascist (and yes, it is fascist) nationalist narratives have robbed us of.

                  1. We descendants of Cossacks
                  2. It was Russia that attacked Ukraine. We didn’t want this war. It’s Russia that’s killing our children and women, our best guys. And don’t tell me fairy tales about the “great and wonderful USSR”, okay? We are defending ourselves from you, because it is Russia that is raping our women and children, Russia is throwing innocent people into prison, Russia is torturing and killing our defenders. We don’t want to live in country where everyone is afraid to say a word, express their opinion that is different from the opinion of the “Party” has no right to profess their own religion. Russians are “greater” than the rest of nations (purely nazi theory)

            Look, maybe you just shouldn’t let your nationalist narratives about how stinky or how awesome each country is goad you into a false sense of security and superiority? Russia has an enormous nuclear arsenal. If NATO keeps poking the bear they obviously will reach a point where they’ll use those weapons, it’s not rocket science.

              It makes me laugh that the Russians are not capable of anything else except scaring us with their nuclear weapon. They have not even managed to take any of the cities with a population of millions in 3 years.

              “Great Russia” is worth nothing without Ukraine! They have not won a single war without us. Let’s look at history. The Crimean War was won only thanks to Ukrainians, the revolution was won only because Ukrainians destroyed the White Army, World War II was won only because of Ukrainians (battle under Stalingrad). ‘Russians power’ is illusion and we prove it every single day

              Tankies advocating for the Kremlin for about the billionth time… hm…

              Maybe Hexbear was established by the Kremlin and all its posters are paid by the Kremlin. I wouldn’t be surprised. Otherwise, Hexbear is just doing that work for free.

                  all the institutions for public wellbeing that the Soviets had built

                  Like gulags?

                  you get Banderites

                  Probably all countries have some far-right elements. Ukraine has some far-right people, Russia has some far-right people. But I think the main strand of nationalism in Ukraine at the moment is probably not “fascist”. I think they just want independence and sovereignty.

                  Can you do the same for NATO? Or are they too white to criticize?

                  Ukraine and Russia are both pretty white I think, so if I was trying to pick the “white” side, then there would be no reason to support Ukraine over Russia, or Russia over Ukraine.

                  It’s just strange that I keep seeing people from Hexbear leaping to the defence of Russia and China, and indeed repeating their propaganda points. E.g. the idea that Ukraine is a Nazi country. There are some far-right people in Ukraine for sure, just like there are in Russia, and in Germany, and in the USA, etc. But I don’t think it’s accurate to call Ukraine a Nazi country. I don’t think their Jewish president plans to exterminate Jews, or expand the territory of Ukraine through conquest.

        I will surprise you, but I am a big fighter against Nazism) But it seems that no one here can explain to me what Nazism is. I only hear empty accusations that I am too lazy to even answer)

            Still I want to define what nazism is So Nazism is a misanthropic ideology that has certain characteristics by which it is very easy to define:

            1. the domination of the white race over other races, this means the superiority of one race over another.
            2. the enslavement of inferior races who must serve as slaves
            3. recognition of one’s own nationality as superior to other nationalities
            4. the domination of a single religion - namely Christianity (Orthodox or Catholic) over other religions
            5. discrimination against people on religious, racial, national grounds
            6. genocide, mass murders without trial and investigation and abuse of people, experiments on people, torture of people and animals
            7. hatred toward Jews

            I am not calling for genocide of entire ethnic groups even russian. Thats not my words. But every russian who is coming with weapon on Ukrainian territory - will be killed. We are going to protect our land and mostly our people from invaders. Like any other country. Or should we surrender like Trump and Putin wants? We will not surrender
