Why do pictures of Russians leading normal lives make westoids seethe so much?
Is it because they feel duped by their media that told them Russia is bankrupt and everyone is dead or conscripted already?
Is it because their sanctions don't really mean shit?
Or do they really just hate all russians and want them dead?

>Why do pictures of Russians leading normal lives make westoids seethe so much?
Desu I think common Western people don’t really seethe at pictures of Russian leading normal lives. It’s mostly Western media perpetuating interests of elites plus years of Cold War indoctrination. Russia has been a competitor/bogeyman for Anglo-American interests for a long time. For England, it’s about keeping Continental Europe divided (I suspect also Anglo jealousy that Russia retained its empire while the Brits didn’t), and for the U.S. it’s about Russia adopting an ideology which was antithetical to American ideology. Plus for both, having a bogeyman is good for the MIC. I’d argue that many working class Americans and Russians are culturally similar: skeptical of government, zealous, violent, rowdy etc.

Due to history and geography Russia is a very statist state. Russia goes through periods of autocratic control and then erupts in often violent, liberal reform/revolution (1905,1917,1990’s). Globehomo values like free markets, rule of law etc. undermine the Russian state’s authority. I think the animosity mostly comes from Russian policy not being in-line with Western ones.

I literally never see pictures of Russians living normal lives. All the pictures of Russia I see are dying ghost towns with people living in old crumbling commie block apartments covered in graffiti and old soviet slogans from the 50s.

that's only 98% of russia, the other two percent are moscow and petersburg

This anon is correct. Outside of the cities, especially St. Petersburg (Which is the cultural/intellectual capital, kind of like Boston, which is a hotspot for liberals) and Moscow (Deepstate hub e.g. Government, Military, Security Services e.g. D.C), the Russian economic inequality is jarring and most don't live Western-like "normal lives". It's pretty depressing desu. Reading history you realize that its always been like that. But there is something to be said how this inequality results in some of the best pieces of art and literature. Look at pictures of the gaudy Imperial Palaces and then photographs from The Prokudin-Gorskii collection.

It doesn't make me seethe but I do think it's disgraceful that 1% of the Russian population get to live like this while the rest of country suffers in poverty and misery.

>>524382803
To your point anon not all of those people who live in places like St. Petersburg and Moscow are rich. People mainly move to those cities for economic opportunities. The 1% of the Russian population are the byudzhetniki (lit. Budget-people, people in Government service who embezzle state funds but are loyal to the Gov but can be tossed away) and the remnants of the oligarchs. I think the oligarchs are the worst of the bunch since they stole/privatized Soviet capital and all obtained European citizenship and cruise around on 200 foot yachts. Naturally the oligarchs align more with Globehomo values like free markets, open borders, which is why you had so many of them become “opposition leaders” (Berezovsky, Khodorkovsky). As of recent however (last ten years) most of the oligarchs have been domesticated by the Putin Gov. This tension between the merchants/boyars/oligarchs is an old one in Russia, where the boyars are bad but the tsar is good.

I respect the Anglo-American elites more in that they (up until the 60’s) used their money for things like beautifying cities, hospitals, patronage, opening art museums etc. I don’t think the Russian oligarchs have a similar tradition.

Westoids hate normal. It reminds them of all the things they will never be able to have. Normal weight, normal sex, a normal career, a normal family, a normal life. Normal is the westoid's kryptonite. It makes him aware what a failure he is.

Because it violates multiple layers of delusional propaganda about how Russia is collapsing. It turns out decoupling from Western finance was a good thing, they suffered no consequences, and are now more ethnically secured.

Nice b8 m8. Russia is not this “based ortho-bro society” that some chuds think it is. Download a translation add-on and go lurk on 2ch.hk. Russia is slowly adopting the same tools of Government which China uses - digital id’s, facial recognition, heavy internet policing. There’s an influx of Caucasian/Turkic migrants into the big cities. Russian women’s gold digging tendencies has only exacerbated with social media. Soviet boomers who still believe every word that the television says and run the country. Little social mobility unless you know someone. A quasi-civil war with Ukraine where population reduction is happening on both sides.

Russian hate has been programmed for so long to be a bogeyman for “Westoids” that it is convenient to continue doing so. For the U.S. the bigger issue is with China, since we are so economically intertwined. Russia allying itself with China is a problem for the Realists in U.S. Government. For certain sectors of U.S. finance, China is a cash-cow.

What I haven’t able to figure out is whether Russia is controlled Globehomo opposition or not. Russia is adopting globehomo policies like laws against hate speech, digital id’s, engaging in depopulation programs (Russ-Ukraine War) etc, and yet goes against a lot of Western foreign policy. I think it is slowly becoming a Chinese vassal state and thus part of larger Globehomo. During the 90’s Western Governments (the question is to what extant) and oligarchs managed to extract a lot of Russian wealth and intellectual property (There is also a very interesting connection between this and the Refuseniks too). I think at some point they calculated that they needed to get someone from the Russian deep state (The security services) in order to hold the country together so it doesn’t balkanize into a bunch a independent republics with nuclear weapons and so agreed to get Putin in power. Perhaps that there was also a tacit understanding that Russ can pursue independent policy to an extant that it is still the “bad guy” (in exchange for living lavish lives) but can’t stay further from overall globehomo objectives.

Anon, nobody would care about russia, if they didn't behave like niggers. After the fall of the soviet union, people got warmed up to russians, thought they were also people, but their latest nigger-like behaviour just proved that Hitler was correct about them.
