They have to stop it in a way that lets them maintain power, and therefore physical wholeness.

Someone who violates all agreements, breaks all the contracts. Someone whose goal is to kill Russian people. And without any reasons.>I believe a new round of relations with Europe and the United States will emerge only after we create real, meaningful economic and military blocs with countries of the Global South. The better and more responsible our relations with North Korea, China, India, and Latin American countries, the greater our chances of friendship with Europe.>We must learn African languages. And Chinese. It’s far more important and useful, in my opinion, in the short and long term, than English. The whole world is open to us. What a wonderful country North Korea is! How big China is! India, Latin America… To hell with France and all of them. If we help Germany split up again, and we should help separate the GDR from them... This must be set as a firm and clear political goal. We simply aren’t doing it, but one day we will get there. Trump isn’t shy when he says: ‘I need Venezuela, I need Canada, Greenland, and the Panama Canal.’ And we will also say: ‘We need the GDR, we miss the GDR.’ And what Kaliningrad needs is completely clear. It needs to be annexed to the mainland. One day we will stop being shy and will say it out loud.>We are the only whites in the world who are anti-colonialist, who have always fought for people of color and helped people of color. Essentially, we created the current world of color. We created the DPRK, the PRC, India, Africa, Latin America. We, whites, tore down the entire colonial world bloc. I usually say that we are white by mistake. We are such white people of color.

>>519109518Russia has no oligarchs.Oligarchy == money buys power. You first get rich, then you use your money to buy political power. Look at Larry Page, or Elon Musk. These are oligarchs.Russia == power steals money. You first get power, probably because you are someone's friend or someone's dog. Then you use your power to loot money from the state treasury.Russia used to have oligarchs, but then the feudal lords just robbed them. Some times as basica as sending the secret police into an oligarch's home, beating him, kidnapping him, telling him to sign away his money to some political figure, and exiling him. No need for much pomp or circus or explanations, just do it. Now Russia has no oligarchs. Everyone rich in Russia is rich because they have power, and would stop being rich if they stopped having power.

Organizations like Fox or NBC or CNN are simply a way for money to buy power, and they are very open. No such thing in Russia. You simply can't buy the most prestigious Russian media and make it print what you personally want, the same way Amazon Bezos bought Wall Street Journal and is dictating its contents.USA is an oligarchy, Russia is not an oligarchy.

>>519110204I think one ways to have power is to put yourself in a position where Putin doesn't want you gone. > You simply can't buy the most prestigious Russian media and make it print what you personally want, the same way Amazon Bezos bought Wall Street Journal and is dictating its contents.That's it. That's reverse cargo cult. "Sure Russian media publishes complete BS but it's ok because the west is basically the same" while completely making up how the media in the west actually works >>519110390Yeah no I think you need to overthink a bit because in English speaking world it's either Russia is just evil or Russia is following Dugin/Ilyin. The second is wrong, the first is right but it doesn't explain the mechanics.

>>519110361Two more moths and donkes will reach Zaporoshie city Pathetic if the ukrainian army cannot stop army on donkeys and motorbikes
>>519110569That's why you see all the time russian cope of "the west is just as corrupt and lacking freedoms as us, so it's ok we are corrupt and have no freedoms". Lately there has been the russian shill disinformation campaign of "uk arrests thousands of people for internet comments, russia much less, so russia is more free" active on /pol/.
>>519110569>That's it. That's reverse cargo cult. "Sure Russian media publishes complete BS but it's ok because the west is basically the same" while completely making up how the media in the west actually worksBezos literally took money out of his pocket, bought the most prestigious USA media, and now privately owns it and tells editors what to publish. This is how some western media works. Example: Wall Street Journal, the best media.I know BBC is different, mate, but its weird. Usually its not like that. Fox is the Republican Party TV. CNN is the Democrat Party TV. In Bulgaria, you can tell which party/person any newspaper, website or TV channel is "for". Some more obvious, some less, but none without bias, because none are without financial obligations. In USA or Bulgaria, money CAN buy power, for exampley by buying media, and influencing elections. In Russia, you just can't buy a big media, and even if you did, you just can't print anti-Putin sutff, and even if you could, it just wouldn't change the outcome of the rigged elections. Money can't buy power that way.Russia is not an oligarchy.
>>519110337You notice that cynicism is their only philosophy.That's the philosophy of slaves and cattle.They're literal cows, mooing to each other >every cow is a slave, those free wild cows are weatern propaganda blyat>you see i am so smart comrade, i am the smartest cow in this heard
>>519110325So that includes putin

>>519110569They are deranged faggots, recorded with overwhelming evidence and death cult applies 100% to them unironically. Their greatest virtue is to be killed, preferably violently, in the name of the cult and especially its leader. Everything their propaganda shits out is schizophrenic cope circling around the greatest virtue. Their second greatest virtue is forced homosexual encounters. The faggy, the better Third greatest virtue is to suffer. Suffer in living, suffer in dying, suffer in relationships, suffer in humiliations
>>519110928I just hate westoids who look at things one-dimensionally and can't recognise that the UK, other European countries have their problems but that doesn't make russia good and their ways desirableThe last Count Dankula vid I ever watched had him say he wouldn't mind russian "liberation" because at least they don't want to destroy his culture kek

>>519110928>Bezons doesn't "tell editors what to publish"He has openly and proudly stated that the opinions section, which was previously mostly about social issues, will now focus on free market stuff. He is applouded for doing so. This isn't a conspiracy, he bought a newspaper and now gets to say what is printed in it.Again, this is oligarch shit. Russia doesn't have that. Kovalchuk can't buy RT and start posting how Putin is senile, he'd get robbed and exiled in 2 weeks.

Russia doesn't promise rightoids anything really, to a degree Russia even promises anything it's the same diversity is our strength stuff, but less gsys and more corruption >>519111070Bezos who suggests to write more about free markets in the opinion section is not even REMOTELY "Bezos tells what to publish" or the way Russian media works
>>519111266Well, to play the Devil's advocat, russia does promise to a right wing person an alternative with things like banning rainbow, homosexuals, child free and etc. with also putting God into the constitution, and saying that russia is the safe haven for those who don't like the modern western culutre
>>519111266There are a few western ziggers who enjoy Russia BECAUSE of this reason and they think they'd be at the top if they adopted pyccкий миp at homeThe rest of course are extreme leftists and rightists who believe their desired delusions, but most of them are not willing or capable to act on them by actually moving to Russia

>>519110718It is EXACTLY an oligarchy holy shit. Oligarchy is not "the power of some rogue brazillionaire to do whatever they want", it is a system made to enpower the money class, as a class. Yeah, if some rogue oligarch tries to go yolo and go against the oligarchic class, the rest of his class will cut him off like a sick limb. That is the idea behind the oligarchy.The idea that "US is an oligarchy because... oligarch are trying to court public opinion(?)" is absolutely lunar.
>>519111373>banning rainbowreplaced by red flags and koloradkas>homosexualsreplaced by "straight ass rape">child freereplaced by raising kids of RSPs>putting God into the constitutionyou mean putting allah into the constitution
>>519111163Oligarchy today means money buys power. It means rich people determine who gets elected in a flawed democracy, and get to dictate what that politician does after elected.USA is an oligarchy. Russia is not. Povel Durov or Vitalik Buterin can't decide to spend money during elctions and ensure Putin doesn't get reelected. Its laughable to even consider it. Meanwhile, Elon Musk can buy Twitter and alter what gets promoted, and help Trump get elected.>>519111266>Bezos who suggests to write more about free markets in the opinion sectionHe literally says "we will cover free market opinions, and will not cover anti-free market opinions". This is something he wants, and before he bought it the opposite was true for that part of the newspaper. Again, this isn't a hidden conspiracy or me speculating, he openly says it, and others plainly hear it, and its not seen as wrong. That's how USA works. He paid for it, now he runs it.>not even REMOTELY "Bezos tells what to publish" or the way Russian media worksNo, its not. That's what I'm saying. Russia is NOT an oligarchy, and a rich man CAN'T buy a major media there and print what he wants.
>>519111514>Oligarchy today means money buys powerMoney buys power by default everywhere. Stop inventing your own definitions of things.
>>519111491OLIGARCHY: Elon Musk buys Twitter and helps Donald Trump get elected, and recieves government contrats for his companies after the election.NOT OLIGARCHY: Pavel Durov allows critique of Putin on Telegram, so he gets exiled from Russia.

>>519111501yeah, but how many westerners know about russia that deep to determine that all of the promises are built on lies ?

>>519111668Because he was given money by the russian oligarchs when his crypto scam coin failed
>>519111650The US is an oligarchy because political decisions align mostly with the rich and powerful, and pretty much never with the will of the people.It's the conclusion of this study:https://www.cambridge.org/core/journals/perspectives-on-politics/article/abs/testing-theories-of-american-politics-elites-interest-groups-and-average-citizens/62327F513959D0A304D4893B382B992Bwhich I don't have access to, so feel free to ignore it if you want.
>>519111491This is a good ploint. The kind of society unfree traditional society like Russian does have a guy at the top and a few super rich around him. The guy at the top has nominal power over oligarchs but they really are in a symbiotic relationship. This pattern repeats over and over and we can even discuss the merits of such society but first we should recognise it for what is is and shouldn't reverse-cargo-cult pretend that it's no different from the west>>519111592>Elon Musk buys Twitter and helps Donald Trump get elected, and recieves government contrats for his companies after the electionThis is called participating in politics
>>519111703No, North Korea doesn't have elections, not even fake ones. The Kim family rules by divine right, and its powerful family trace their lineage from the revolution. Do you read what you write ?Oligarchy does not need elections. You know who do? Democracies. Sure there is a link between power and money, in any fucking system. The difference is, in a democracy, power ultimately resides in the People who can vote their administrators out (hence USA is NOT an oligarchy, even if it tends to slide that way) whereas Russia, whose function is to promote and protect the money elite, and whose elite's power derive from those elites and not from the People, who absolutely cannot vote their administrators out, is an oligarchy.It's really middle school level political theory

>>519111786You fucks don't even know what your paper talks about. I'm not even going to give counterarguments to the paper. It defined economic elite as top 10% income. Top 10% is not the same as oligarchy, which would be 10-20-50 individual people with personal relationships with the ruler owning half of the country
>>519112244>corruption equals oligarchyNo. Your argument relies on a confusion between two words who are distinct for a reason. >>519112266https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Elections_in_North_KoreaThe Supreme Leader is not elected.

There's no overt cruelty, just indifference.This is how monarchies were before nationalism made states more total, and made politics a mass movement.

>>519113164>>519113530Somewhat related, this recent Olegsonder Dugin banger:>Thus, all forms of corruption can be divided into two parts: patriotic corruption and comprador corruption. Or, alternatively, "Eurasian corruption" and "Atlanticist corruption." These criteria can include ethnic, regional, and industry factors, and adjust for the scale and scope of funds involved.>Eurasian (patriotic) corruption is defined as those forms of corruption that:>>- do not directly harm Russia's national security;>>– concentrate funds accumulated through corrupt means on the territory of Russia, invest them in the economies of countries that are allied with Russia or are of strategic interest to Russia;>>– do not make the corrupt officials themselves dependent on Russia's enemies;>>– do not attempt to legitimize themselves through political lobbying and legally become social norms.>Atlanticist (comprador - from the Spanish word "comprador", "buyer") corruption is such that:>>– directly harms the national interests of Russia;>>– concentrates funds obtained through criminal means outside of Russia in offshore zones and countries geopolitically hostile to Russia;>>– makes corrupt officials, consciously or unconsciously, dependent on the governments and intelligence services of foreign powers;>>– seeks to create and bring to power lobbying structures – unions, NGOs, political parties – that would legitimize the positions of Atlanticist corrupt officials in society, granting them legal status.>Continuing the metaphor of the fight against corruption as a religious enterprise, one could say that Eurasian forms of corruption are a sin, but not a mortal one, not claiming to be the norm, and not attempting to overthrow virtue.

>>519108413>>Why militaries that can't admit mistakes can't improve:>No after-action reviews identifying what went wrong>No tactical innovation from bottom-up feedback>Competent officers purged for reporting problems>Yes-men promoted for political reliability over competence>Lessons never institutionalized across the forceNah. The singular reason is because improvement and admitting to mistakes is not competitive. That is, pushing for improvement provides no beneficial advantage over other options for the actual people involved. That's all there is to it. That's what you need to understand and push for. All these things listed by Gregg are just second-degree symptoms.If you want a system to provide competitive advantages for improvement, you need to build a system where the individual humans involved in the system benefit from anti-corruption, pushing the system forward and being honest in general. The man with power HAS TO benefit from doing things right. That's the only way you can reliably improve the situation.Realistically, the only way you can achieve this is by having a power above the system at hand demanding all these factors from the outside of the system at hand, enforcing rules and regulations in a way, where the internal biases and competitive pressures to be corrupt and lying fail against the external pressures to be honest and good. EU anti-corruption measures for example are a good example of this. The end-results of falling in line with what the might of the EU wants is superior to what the individual would get from fucking around being corrupt in their own country. -> The end results are less corruption.

>>519114903>The man with power HAS TO benefit from doing things rightWell, I can easily argue that he benefits... in the longterm. And then we get into a discussion about short-term versus long-term preferences.Which is a topic as old as humans. Some people plan shit in advance. They can imagine and to a degree, predict future outcomes. They know they WILL benefit from anti-corruption and honest assessement in the future. They'll win not just the benefits, but also prevent the detriments that would appear. Example: a better brigade will not only conquer 20km^2, it will avoid you losing 30 km^2. Total long-term gain: 50km^2.On the other hand, some people value short-term victories. They want it and they want it now. The future is tomorrow so they'll worry about it tomorrow, not today.This people are coloquially called "niggers" in western folklore. Their culture and behaviour rests on the singular idea that TODAY and TOMORROW are two distinct places with no relation between each other. So TODAY, we are victorious (despite the losses). TOMORROW we're fucked because we didn't actually take that land we should have before, but who cares. TODAY we win.
