I Don't Care How Moral Putin Is.

Let's take it from the top.

We have had a surge in new readers over the last month. There are now 6000 of us!

At long last!

U-rah!

I feel like I need to outline some of the basics concepts that are presented here on this blog and that I assume that my readers understand already. The pinned Donbass war primer is a good place to start. But I have to say a few words about the philosophy and “ideology” of this blog as well because I believe that this is the main stumbling bloc for most people who feel too … guilty when they read me and then reject my theses on moral grounds.

Well, allow me to explain what I am all about.

I am accused of many things that I am not guilty of and slandered literally all the time. This is because, ironically enough, I do not belong to a predefined camp of political or metaphysical or philosophical thought. Society is essentially an open air prison or a kind of zoo of sorts, and the first thing you gotta do when getting thrown into the slammer is to gang up with others for protection. Intellekshuals like to pretend that they are above such behaviors, but they aren’t really. The entire writing/pundit scene is very clique-based, believe me. This is because being in a gang confers benefits like support, networking, shared purpose. And those who don’t mob up get shanked, like I do.

A ZAnon blogger gathering. They support Christian values, I am told.

But gang membership comes at the cost of independence and with the imposition of ideological codes.

Actually, I am on the record as being pro-cooperation and pro-tribe in general. I’m no individualist or anarchist in my views at all. My only problem is that I don’t like the pre-programmed political camps and ideological gangs that I have to choose from in the yard. I suspect that the sorting process is undertaken with the blessing of the prison wardens, and that makes me suspicious. Ideally, I’d assemble my own crew.

And that is what this blog is about to a certain extent.

My blending of seemingly disparate topics and my idiosyncratic approach to writing about politics and religion and populism is not about being a contrarian for the sake of it. No, quite the opposite, I am trying to lay the groundwork down for a new community down the line. Not an IRL one, mind you, (nice try, FBI!) but a conceptual one. A bundle of political, social, metaphysical ideas that mesh well with one another and that enable a person to quickly get caught up to speed about the many deceptions on which the modern social, political, religious, technological, historical, and so on, is built.

The only real criticism hurled my way that actually sticks is the accusation that I am demoralizing people and not offering solutions. With each article, I paint a bleaker and grimmer picture of this horrendous war and the parties involved in prolonging it. I am aware that many people struggle to handle this information on an emotional and even on a spiritual level. But I largely lay the blame at the feet of Liberalism and Christianity and Communism though, for not informing people about the true political and metaphysical truths that underpin our fallen world. This makes my work harder, because the facts that I am describing seem to contradict many of the core truths held by these two worldviews. If your social and religious leaders hadn’t misled you so terribly, I wouldn’t be having such a hard time trying to do my job and informing you about the war in Donbass.

The most glaringly obvious hurdle I face is the concept of morality as it pertains to God and war. See, Russia, for all of the faults of its elites, is not aggressively promoting sodomy, chemical castration of teens, and other forms of mental illness onto the world. In contrast, the West does.

This is all true. This is all known.

Where things get weird is the belief in many peoples’ minds that this should guarantee Russia a victory in the war against Ukraine and NATO. That the West has forfeited the mandate of heaven and so God will destroy them in some way. And once this position has been taken, facts from the battlefield or the Kremlin are cherry-picked, or bent or fabricated even, to support this meta-narrative that was taken on faith.

When I point out that Russia’s elites are NOT moral, I trigger many peoples’ alarm systems. In their minds, by criticizing Russia’s moral high ground, I am undermining Russia’s cause. This is because, in their minds, the moral side wins the wars because as we all know, the good guys have won every single major war in the world since record-keeping began.

We know this, of course, because the good guys wrote the history books. Check your Holy Bibles if you don’t believe me — Yahweh makes sure that his Chosen People win their wars, doesn’t he? He did this because they were so gosh darn moral and their ethnic enemies were not.

Ask your priest to explain why the moral superpower of Israel genocides entire tribes or uses strange occult blood-magic to advance its agenda. The explanation is that Israel was more moral than the people they were inflicting death and terror on. And we know that they were more moral because they won their wars. Once they won their wars through sneaky, underhanded, unhinged methods, they proved to themselves and the world that they were the moral ones. God wouldn’t have rewarded the immoral side with a military victory, now would he?

The deity of this world is, after all, a loving, moralistic, and all-powerful entity, right?

R-right!??

See how all those background assumptions work together to warp people’s views?

Sadly, this kind of non-thinking makes sense to most cognitive peasants. But this simply isn’t the way that the world actually works, nor is it the way that I go about making sense of events going on in the world. Long story short: when I poke holes in the Kremlins’ moral posturing, I do not do it with the intention of undermining Russia in God’s eyes or something retarded like that. To me, moral countries are totalitarian psyops, not examples to follow.

Instead, I evaluate the world from the first principle of identity.

My support for Russia is not conditional and not built on any moral assessments of the character of the Russian people or Russia’s elites. I simply support Russians because I am a Russian that was born in Kiev and who grew up in America.

I also support the American people, by the way, and get particularly incensed when I hear snooty Eurotrash taking shots at Americans thinking they are in good company with me. Americans have many good traits and many lamentable traits as well, but again, I don’t particularly care if they are moral or not, I only care that, whether I like it or not, I am at least partially American in my self-identity. Thus, when I defend the American people, I am also defending myself to a certain extent. When people say, “the Americans are bad,” I think that they are talking to me, and usually, I cannot escape criticism directed at America by claiming to not be American. Believe me, I have tried this.

Travel the world a little bit and you will find that Europeans love to disparage two groups of people in particular: Americans and Russians.

So, my point is that I am not making a moral assessment of an entire nations’ character when I evaluate, say, Russia’s poor battlefield results or the poor quality of food in America. Nor am I a traitor for demanding better from our supposed moral superiors in power.

See, our societies are officially built on a moral ideology of sorts that pertains to all sectors of society. There is an accepted moral narrative about the economy, about the 20th century, about religion and so on. If you don’t believe me, try stepping out of line and see what happens to you when you do. Yes, we have an accepted ideological meta-narrative straightjacket that most of us spend our entire lives wrapped up in, and people trip over themselves to prove that they are the most “moral” according to the standards set by the elites to advance in society. And our elites don’t admit that they are in power because of their deviousness, ethnic ties, or money networks now do they? They instead imply that they are the most moral, and that the system has rewarded them accordingly.

The result is that we live under a kind of global “moral” totalitarianism.

And the elites ALWAYS decide what is “moral” or not.

That makes them more moral by default and you and I not so much.

Which is why I think people ought to stop viewing things through a morality prism all the time.

Morality applies to one’s dealings with colleagues, friends and neighbors, not to politics or spiritual matters or the economy or dieting or working out or traveling or going for a nice drunk drive around the town on a fine Sunday evening.

Jokes aside, please try to understand this and my intentions as a writer.

When I critique Russia’s elites, I do it because I believe these cockroaches stand in the way of Slavic political, cultural and spiritual unity. In so far as I have any ideological positions, this is the only one I am consistent about in any meaningful way. I believe in Slavic unity. I see us as one big family being manipulated into butchering each other by non-Slavic elites. My support for Putin and his government, tepid as it was, was contingent on him working towards this goal in a productive way. Other bloggers are the complete opposite though, as I am sure that you have noticed by now. They support Putin first, and then justify his policies no matter what they may be.

To them, I am a traitor because I no longer support Putin.

But I no longer support Putin because I do not think that Putin supports the Russian people living in Russia, in Ukraine, in Belarus, and in the Baltics or Kazakhstan for that matter. This is a matter of debate, though, and I would be willing to have a debate with anyone on whether or not Putin supports Russians or not. However, I shouldn’t have to explain to people that my support is contingent on whether or not I think he meets this criteria. Even my detractors should be able to say that my approach is sound, fundamentally.

And it was the same with Trump, frankly. So long as I thought Trump was supporting America, I was supporting Trump. Once I became convinced that he was working for the interests of his son-in-law and Israel, not for the beleagured White Americans who voted him in to office, I was no longer obliged to continue supporting him. And yet, so many people seem to misunderstand this core concept — the concept of a social two-way street, that is. To them, Trump deserves respect and support because he’s rich and because he’s clever and because he is popular. Or because he is supposedly moral, Christian, and tips his staff well.

But this is not how politics actually works though.

This is just how ordinary people usually choose who they want to be friends with or not.

They’ve simply taken this mindset and extrapolated it to inform their political decisions as well.

They ask themselves, “Would I like to have a drink with this person?” or, “would I want to be seen together with this person to impress other people?”And, “can I raise my own status by associating myself with this person?”

So, again, my point is that the reasoning I give for no longer supporting Trump or Putin is completely alien to them and their thinking process. And, sadly, the vast majority of people think in the way that I outlined above. To them, everything that I write about smacks of heresy, no matter how many facts I bring up to back my points up. It is about whether I am in the gang or not to them. Whether I support their gang’s moral claim to power. If I accept their god or not, fundamentally.

And that, new readers, is why I am so hated by the other pro-Russian bloggers that you were reading for the last two years before you started having doubts and let your curiosity guide you here.

I hope you give my theses a chance, at least.

You are here right at the turning of the tide against the NAFO and ZAnon propaganda.

As the smokescreen of righteous, moral, and noble lies clears from your sight, a stunning vista of horror and death will snap into focus instead. Join me and together we will gaze upon the smoking ruinscape wonders that our moral superiors have wrought in the Slavlands.

Become a paid sub to get the full experience. Better than any slasher thriller movie, let me tell you.

I hope to see some of you newbies, (the true self-sadists among you I suppose), in the zone beyond the paywall!
