Question

Milksteak · Answer

I grew up with a lot of Russians, they really seem like regular people to me.

WalrusLord · Answer

there's a stereotype that Russian people are cold and standoffish, but I don't think it's true. I don't have any specific opinions because all people are unique

BoredFool · Answer

Navzdory všem stereotypům o Rusech je vnímám jako normální lidi, jako jsme my dva. Vše záleží na jednání jednotlivce.

tent88 · Answer

Russians are cool. The leader right now is not cool

shueppsha · Answer

@tent88 around 80% of Russians are in favor of the war. Check any poll.

shueppsha · Answer

@Austinfrucht why do people still think Russians are not in favor of the war? It is notwhat their government is doing, it is what their soldiers who are regular citizens doing, and their wives and relatives are in favor, 70–80% of Russians think Putin is doing everything right.

shueppsha · Answer

@Austinfrucht 🙄 you don't blame people for being absolute idiots who justify mass murders. Ok.

shueppsha · Answer

@Austinfrucht when someone's ignorance turns to people's deaths, it's the only way.

shueppsha · Answer

@Austinfrucht it is a killing myth popular on the West that Russians may be a normal nation just like others, this myth turns into West's political vector to calm down Russia and treat it like a kind of normal society with its normal needs, and it ends what it ends with every damn time. In Versailles, when the West led Russia to rise again and enslave dozens of peoples, in 1991, when it though new states will be democratic and peaceful, including Russia, and now. You DON'T only have to take Putin/Stalin/isolation to make Russia normal country, it will never stop, because its society is sick and is living comfortably only when it is ruled by such leadership. They produce killing machine every time. They are not poor people who also suffer, they are happy their leadership pisses on their heads while sending them to death in Ukraine, 80% of them like it. I speak Russian, I read all that shit they think, and they are no way any victims. They are crazy, and it's not a result of propaganda, they've been like that always, from around 15th century. And such opinion on them can only do one thing: give them the ability to rise again in 30 years and start doing what it does again.

shueppsha · Answer

@Austinfrucht "There's nothing wrong with the people". It is. I just don't know how to tell you how wrong is something with the people as you can't read all that stuff Russian people really want to happen with it and its neighbours. When they have a chance to be free as the West hopes to see Russian people, every time they choose dictatorship themselves. I don't know how to show you that, I can only tell what is and always was in brains of the most of Russians.

@Austinfrucht that's for sure :)

Austinfrucht · Answer

Overall I like Russians… I don’t like Russia… that probably won’t ever change… I have no interest in Russian culture, but I am intrigued by the language. I’m not a fan of the war they started. I’m definitely not a fan of Putin. I don’t blame Russians for what their government is doing. Russians are cool enough said.

Austinfrucht · Answer

@shueppsha I didn’t say they weren’t in favor of the war. I just don’t blame them for it. With all the propaganda and information control going on, I wouldn’t be surprised if they thought you were demons in disguise and needed to be smote in the name of the lord, or some crazy nonsense.

Austinfrucht · Answer

@shueppsha I think Putin is the next Stalin, hitler, or Mao Zedong.

Austinfrucht · Answer

It’s fascinating to me that you’re bothered about the fact that I don’t hate somebody as much as you. I’m not defending them I’m telling you why I don’t hate them. They are wrong. They are doing the wrong thing; I know this, you know this, they don’t. It doesn’t make them any less wrong, I just can’t hate them for their ignorance.

Austinfrucht · Answer

@shueppsha I don’t understand. What’s the end goal? Are you trying to make me hate Russians? Because that’s only going to test your patience not mine. Are you trying to get me to say that what they are doing is wrong? That’s redundant, because I already said that. I’m confused as to what you’re end objective is. I think Putin should die… I think the war should end with a Ukrainian victory. I support Ukraine… I’m on YOUR side… rather than wasting your time bothering an ally(me) why don’t you go use your time more valuably and go bother the Russians you hate so much?

Austinfrucht · Answer

I never said killing Putin would change Russia, I already said I hate Russia as a country/government. I know the government is one of the worst evils to ever have existed. You don’t have to convince me, I agree. What I don’t agree with is saying the same about the people. There isn’t anything wrong with the people. It’s the communist manifesto that’s the problem. And at the core of everything is socialism.

Austinfrucht · Answer

@shueppsha even if we disagree on this, I still wish Ukraine luck. I hope you kick some more commie butts.
