Impossible to find anyone above 80iq who supports russia in the war. And if you think that Dostoevsky who wrote Crime and Punishment wouldn't absolutely despise the war, as needless senselless violence started for completely selfish reasons by Putin who doesn't even personally fight in the war, then your IQ is lower than 80. He would hate this one more than any other.
Why do you make threads about authors who's books you have not read? Do they teach children in russia that Dostoevsky isn't against all violence and saw it as complete moral poison?

>>25533117
I support Russia in the war because it means two groups of white people stop dying and our hateful parasites at the top stop pissing money up the wall. And Ukrainian leadership is literal Democrat zogslop. Russia winning is the quickest way out of this.

I'd like to be wrong, but my assumption is you've done little in your life that will be publicly acknowledged as meaningful and you dress those wounds with a whole bunch of yapping, desperately trying to substitute moral prattling (in the unwashed asshole of the internet, no less) for meaningful action.

>>25533154
Good, you admit you're a do-nothing despite running away from it. You are not capable of having an identity. You are faceless. You've done little more in life than make pained sounds on 4chan.

My mother is very well. War happens. Your protestations mean nothing. And you are not a good person. You have a rotten heart, as evidenced by this exchange. Both Tolstoy and Dostoevsky, in their disgust for you, would only refer to you vaguely as a cautionary tale of what a broken man looks like.

You have cursed yourself to remain stuck as an exceedingly small and bitter dwarf (not a man).

>>25533160
Great insults. Shame they are things you not only admitted, but actually embraced about yourself. I might make a difference when Russian tanks come to my city (again). You won't as long as you are who you chose to be.
Say hi to your mom, you functional male you.

>>25533151
>Not being subject to Moscow
Lmao, of course

Ukraine, prior to the war and still, has the most incompetent and corrupt government in Europe.

They had two trajectories this century: the umbrella of Russia or orders from Brussels and NATO. There is no such thing an independent and sovereign Ukraine.

It is germane to note that Europe under Brussels is currently and intentionally committing Europeans to their ethnic replacement.

Ukraine cannot win this war. That has been obvious for years.

By supporting Ukraine you are therefore happy to send multiple generations of foreign white youth into a woodchipper for an impossible dream which, even if realised, would result in fifty million Indians on deliveroo bikes traversing the steppe. Ukraine wouldn't be independent and there would be no Ukranians left anyway.

I think you're posting from an army barracks.

>>25533170
You misunderstood my post. I am not afraid that Moscow will make Ukraine less corrupt. They will literally kill people. I thought bombing their own "ethnic Russians" to own the hohols made their regard for human life clear. Ethnic replacement lol Russia is literally sacrificing hundreds of thousands of whites and for what? To maintain economic influence over the Eastern Turd of an economy? While Putin makes entire speeches about how Bashkirs and shitskins are as Russian as he is? Wake up.

>>25533169
I haven't embraced them. You want that to be the case because you have a petty mind that can only see the world in one way (a genuine sign of lacking intelligence), but the truth is you're a rat scrambling in a gutter, full of loathing for anyone who doesn't share your situation and admits without heartbreak that such situations happen.

And if you are Ukrainian and have committed to sermonizing on 4chan, you're even worse off than I initially thought. You truly are without strong roots. I hope you make it to the other side of this war and of this existence. But your bitterness blackens your soul. You are in agony and you attempt to use your pain to wither others. All it does is further burn you.

No man of God brings up another man's mother. I'm sorry to say that you've failed yours.

In the meanwhile, I'll continue living a good life despite your desperate mewling for me to be your enemy. I'm not. I'm trying to help you. But you crouch in the darkness. You are a chained shadow.

Reading may not currently be your strong suit, though I can understand why given how rattled you are by your environment.

I urge you to take a breath and attempt to consider things neutrally. If you do and choose to re-read our conversation, you'll see that you're distorted my words. Or perhaps you're aware, but some grudge inside you compels you to respond in bad faith.

I'm sorry if this angers you, anon, but I accept that war is an inescapable condition of humanity. I wish it were not so, just as I wish greed and other things weren't. However, it is and I will not cope with that fact by meandering through hours and pages of unobtainable counterfactuals.

Ideals are good to have, but they remain out of reach at large. We can only work on ourselves, tend to our own gardens, improve our immediate and local environments.

I've worked in both national-level politics and held senior positions in state-level government. I now work as a litigation paralegal and hope to go to law school next year. I have impacted many lives and will continue to do so.

But morality does not dictate reality. This is a lesson you have to accept. Chaos reigns. We simply do our best to navigate it.

>>25533185
Without the reddit spacing I'd almost not notice the conflation of "morality does not dictate reality" and "we can only work on ourselves".

You have so much reflection to do, Anon.

So much ground to cover.

Shame.

>>25533190
I've reflected a lot and covered a lot of ground. It's why I know this to be a fact. How old are you? What exactly do you contest about those two claims? Can you honestly say that you're considering these notions outside of your own perspective? Did you give weight to the rest of what I said or have you again fallen victim to selective and distorted reading?

>>25533195
Reading may not currently be your strong suit, though I can understand why given how rattled you are.

I urge you to read the word "conflation" in >>25533190 to find out that which truly is contested.

Mayhaps this redditor manner of talking guides you to a better grasp of truths obvious to all... barring the professionally helpless.

>>25533202
Well, I see you're receding again. This is often why folks on 4chan - especially the terminally online variety - are helpless. They have no agency, nor do they actually want to change.

I ask you again: what about those two notions do you contest? I understood the word "conflation" the first time, but I'd like you to expand on your disagreement. That's generally an ingredient of productive conversation.

Your last paragraph is trivial and, again, full of hatred. You will never exist as who you want to be as long as you give in so easily to lesser temptations.

Anyway, as I finish this post, I realize I've got to start working. And I've lost interest in you. You are who I thought you were. Good luck to you. You shall remain faceless to me.

everyone knows this. No one, on either side is denying this anymore. Just ask the Ukies what the plan is at this point. Before bluescreening, they might try to explain how Ukraine will restore all the lost regions, including Crimea, and the destroyed infrastructure and the crippled demographics, they might even mention the pipe dream about invading Moscow, but lmao if anyone seriously believes this anymore.

At the end of the day, all sides do agree on one thing - "till the last Ukrainian", and that's how it's gonna be. It's just that one side actually considers this to be a victory, somehow.

Russia made a grab when the West was at a particularly weak point. Europe was dumb enough to become dependant on Gazprom and funnel a fortune into the Russian economy which it used to build up its military--remember when Trump warned them about this and they laughed at him? Libtards were dumb enough to believe that Russia, and China for that matter, would become libtarded if only it had greater access to the global economy. This was what they were teaching at every university and writing about in every journal at least as late as 2010. Hubristic beyond belief. On top of that the US expanded NATO towards the Russian border and backed a series of color revolutions throughout the 2000s (see pic-related propaganda from 2015, lol).

Ukraine isn't a real country, it's just borders Stalin created to make the USSR seem like it had a greater number of states, and Russia has held influence over the region going back to the mid-1600s. Even before that Ivan the Terrible was fighting the Polish and Lithuanians, which controlled the territory, for control of the caucuses. It's a conflict that goes back almost half a millenium and it's retarded to think Ukraine is an independent entity that exists outside of Russian influence.

Saying shit like the current phase is
>needless senselless violence started for completely selfish reasons by Putin who doesn't even personally fight in the war
demonstrates you're largely ignorant of history and have been propagandized into seeing Putin as a boogeyman. You talk about people being below 80 IQ supporting the war but with what you've written I'd put you around 95 (i.e. the lower threshold of midwit).

False dichotomy, as always. None would've opposed the war, they would've both supported it: one fervently, the other tacitly. At first as long as it didn't affect them directly, then even when it did because woe is us and if only the Tsar knew and it's God's plan, after all.

The only one who would've actually condemned the war is the one we never talk about: Turgenev.

The midwit take is that Putin wanted a land grab or needed to invade Ukraine to deter NATO expansion or some other security issue.
The true reason is that Ukrainian farmland is an existential resource that must be controlled for national survial and leverage over western Europe.
When everyone and their crops are getting raped in a decade or so from now thanks to global warming related disruptions, guess who will be sitting pretty with most of the gas and food in Europe? It's just pure Realpolitik.

Are you retarded? You are greatly overestimating the importance of Ukraine's agriculture. Before the war it was profitable, because it was cheap, during the war it has dwindled to almost nothing and the global agricultural market has not felt it's absence at all outside of shitholes like africa.
The only reason for the war is Putin's dream of being remembered as conqueror.
You are looking for a logical reason where there is none, russians are incapable of long term thinking and cause and effect thinking anyway. Stop using the word realpolitik, it's cringe as fuck, especially since this war has nothing to with realpolitiks.

If America can’t have immigration laws or ICE then millions in dollars shouldn’t be going to the Banderites. It’s just not fair on an ideological level that our nation is open borders and Kiev is monuments to Bandera and bombing Donetsk school children. Zionism and Banderite Fascism are far fringe right for their own country yet open borders for America and Europe.

>>25536300
the "Cold War" was just the West (Zionism) vs. Marxism in a *bipolar* world. Proxy wars for profits flared up, but it was not a world war.
This shit started with the "war on terrar" but it has been escalating since Putin redrew the line at the Ukraine.
Now the US is letting everyone know they want all of North America and Israel will take the Middle East. This will disrupt the BRICS nations that hoped for a multipolar world. It is WWIII starting up.

Remember the Cuban Missile crisis? We were in danger of nukes flying for a rather short time then.
Now, we have been in danger of nukes flying since Putin's invasion, and that has only increased since Trump agreed to invade Iran.
But you don't trust me, so whatever.

>>25536599
It was a world war because the front wasn't limited to a single region and pretty much every country contributed to it in some form.

Also, you're uninformed because the Russia-Ukraine conflict goes back almost half a millenium and isn't merely because "Putin redrew the line at the Ukraine", tardboy.

P.S. I never said what's going on now doesn't have the potential to be considered a world war. I made fun of you for referencing "war on terrar(sic)" while failing to qualify it. You're a brainlet.

It does go back about a century. But the animosity with the general West goes back farther. Besides the point made though.

>The Bush wars declared a war on a vague tactic
You're parroting a retarded talking point from over 20 years ago. It has nothing to do with the current phase of the Russia/Ukraine conflict. The War on Terror shit is more prevalent to things like domestic spying and such (e.g. the fact that everything you do and say can be obtained by various alphabet agencies and the fact everyone has checked off on countless end user agreements giving corporations the ability to legally harvest data and transfer it to said agencies).
>It's so broad they (The CIA) imprison anyone anywhere for nothing at all but made up terrorist charges.
This has nothing to do with Ukraine/Russia.
>This will increase as their war spreads.
Whether or not the war will spread is an open question. It's very unlikely it will spread as a traditional hot war and it's already of global reach in terms of financial and logistical inputs. It's a regional conflict that was rapidly made into a pseudo-proxy war ("pseudo" because interests that existed within a Cold War context don't exist, things have changed dramatically, but it's still being reported on as if it were one).
>Quibbling over what makes a world war is so lawyerly shit
It's not. It's very important to define and delineate terms. One of the first things they teach in International Studies is breaking conflicts into frames and seeing how the various inputs and outputs react across them. You don't analyze and report on a regional conflict the same way as you would an international conflict--the actors are different and the methods of feeding or starving it are different.
>I think I have the stronger case
Cool. I know you're a retard who's parroting nonsense he's heard and lacks any critical thinking ability. You have no insight.
>You are an ungracious brainlet.
You don't know what the word "ungracious" means, lol.

Can we stop being performative males and finally all admit that classical Russian literature is a meme perpetuated by pseudointellectual bugmen?

No. Both would consider it a tragedy. But Tolstoy would support Ukraine, and Dost wouldn't care who won, it's all bull to him.

If you are alluding to Dostoevsky’s worst novels, then, indeed, I dislike intensely The Brothers Karamazov and the ghastly Crime and Punishment rigamarole. No, I do not object to soul-searching and self-revelation, but in those books the soul, and the sins, and the sentimentality, and the journalese, hardly warrant the tedious and muddled search. Dostoyevsky’s lack of taste, his monotonous dealings with persons suffering with pre-Freudian complexes, the way he has of wallowing in the tragic misadventures of human dignity – all this is difficult to admire. I do not like this trick his characters have of ”sinning their way to Jesus” or, as a Russian author, Ivan Bunin, put it more bluntly, ”spilling Jesus all over the place." Crime and Punishment’s plot did not seem as incredibly banal in 1866 when the book was written as it does now when noble prostitutes are apt to be received a little cynically by experienced readers. Dostoyevsky never really got over the influence which the European mystery novel and the sentimental novel made upon him. The sentimental influence implied that kind of conflict he liked—placing virtuous people in pathetic situations and then extracting from these situations the last ounce of pathos. Non-Russian readers do not realize two things: that not all Russians love Dostoevsky as much as Americans do, and that most of those Russians who do, venerate him as a mystic and not as an artist. He was a prophet, a claptrap journalist and a slapdash comedian. I admit that some of his scenes, some of his tremendous farcical rows are extraordinarily amusing. But his sensitive murderers and soulful prostitutes are not to be endured for one moment—by this reader anyway. Dostoyevsky seems to have been chosen by the destiny of Russian letters to become Russia’s greatest playwright, but he took the wrong turning and wrote novels.
