They are catering to hardcore misogynists who want women be treated like pets. The right to decide your apperance, having self respect, being picky about your partner and enjoying yourself as a woman in general is against some imaginary trad values, and what men who are usually in their militant clique don't like, not to say it's too 'foreign' to their taste. Producing drugs and abusing kids aren't tho – they walked back on fighting these after initially saying so iirc.
They are a militant cartel with a religious cover. And they bend whatever they want from it to control masses, as they have a local monopoly on saying what is ultimately good or bad by the will of God (since they have guns). Is it so uncommon?
My AK says I am the chad there. That chad wants to fuck and have spare cash. Isn't it convinient my retelling of the book says it's a natural order?
Never happened, but there it is once again.
Russian girls part was the best for it shows how unhinged they are if they aren't a troll.
I happened to be born there, and I've seen a discussion about who's to blame for so long it's nausiating.
Idk what foreigners mean by that, probs they just react to the news and socialize by saying that without a second thought most of the time.
But the sad truth is regular people were purposefully fucked in the head for two decades (after just ten years of promising chaos). That's not easy to undo. They won't magically wake up after wishing another drone strike on Kiyv, they don't believe they deserve political power or freedom, all they talk is how they are wronged by the world and how they get their sweet revenge.
If they weren't so submissive it couldn't have happened. It's a learnt serf mentality. And they are complicit in that tragedy as well. Not as much, but it sure feels like there we see the whole country acting as a one, not a handful of leaders doing that against their will. And others like me not having means or courage to speak up. I've been already disowned by some friendgroups, thankfully without telling on me.
The whole thing about carving out 'the good russians' is done by people who didn't (or couldn't) do anything before it's too late, to feel better and to bear with it. It's its' own subculture. And I really doubt this distinction means much in the big picture. Unvocal minority not even hitting the margin of error, and not deserving support like those who actually fucking die. A community without it's place.
And I'm really surprised I see this group named in english language.
