There are a lot of reasons for why someone might decide to hate Russians. Some groups are simply born with an innate ethnic loathing of fairer-skinned people. Others are from countries who have geopolitical beef with Russia. Finally, the most dangerous group are those who have been infected with parasitical ideologies over the course of their lives. The key ideology that inspires the most ardent Russia loathing is, of course, messianic Liberalism. The Sanhedrin of the Liberal faith have declared Russia to be anti-Liberal, and so, all good Liberals are called on to resist Russia and to do her harm.
Is Russia really anti-Liberal though?
Well, no, not really. Russia was half in and half out of the Liberal World Order going into the special military operation in Ukraine. Most of the “Russian” financial, business, intellectual and political elites seemed content with settling for the West’s scraps and a junior role in a larger global government structure. The structure of Russia’s government, is, on paper at least, based on a Western model. The fact that the Duma, an institution which exists to gives oligarchs immunity from legal persecution, and access to juicy government contracts, hasn’t been abolished is proof that Russia is more merchant-republic than Authoritarian stronghold, unfortunately. That’s not the point of the post though.
I’m saying that any ideology could be used against Russia, really. Russia is not Liberal enough for the Liberals, true. But it’s also not Libertarian enough for the Libertarians. Not Fascist enough for the Fascists. And it was never Communist enough for the Communists either. I could make an argument for not supporting Russia based on any ideological principle really.
Another example: Russia isn’t really even Christian. I mean, sure, the state helps the Orthodox Church. But the vast majority of people aren’t religiously observant. See? Not good enough.
And is Russia even Eurasianist-Multipolar-Socialist-Gobblygook-Toltec-Judoist enough for the Eurasianist-Multipolar-Soclalist-Gobblygook-Toltec-Judoists? No, of course not. They would like to see Russia become more … whatever it is that they believe in.
My point is that pointing out that a country isn’t ____ enough isn’t a legitimate grounds for hating that country. No country is able to ideally conform to the dictates of any utopian ideology. If it did, it would collapse, because reality would reassert itself like a spring pushed down too hard.
There are, however, people with agendas that want to take down other groups with agendas. These Agendaists then hire ideologues to convince the ideologoyim of the target country to disavow their own nation in the name of allegiance to a higher principle.
You see this in the cities that the Russian Liberal class has fled to in Russia’s near abroad. I saw a large group of Russians drinking at a bar next to which was a line of graffiti written in English reading, “Fuck Russians”. None of them seemed to mind this though. This is because, in their minds, they aren’t Russians, really. What you and I and all the other races and ethnicities of the world see is just an optical illusion. Their allegiance is to their ideology, first and foremost. They self-identify as Liberals and you need to respect their pronouns elective identity.
But you don’t have to look at Russian expats in Riga or Tbilisi to see this behavior on display closer to home as well.
How many times have we seen Whites marching in anti-White ethnic grievance protests?
When the swarth chants “Fuck Whitey” - do you think that the Whites in their midst realize that the orc-hordes are talking about them? No, of course not. You and I are White, but they are Liberals, you see? Their elective identity has overcome their actual, innate identity. When it comes their time to have their throats slit by the diversity, they will no doubt smile smugly at their assailants and say, “Jokes on you, I don’t even identify as Wh-AAACK!” as they gurgle their last.
But that’s just the nature of the modern political con and I don’t see the people wisening up to the ideology hoax anytime soon.
So, with that in mind, I’ve decided to cave in and create my own ideology.
Me, I identify as a “citizen of the internet,” now.
I believe that one day we will establish the Second Hyperborean Gamer Republic.
Girlfriends and graphics cards will be subsidized by the state there.
Rulers will be chosen based on the quality of their blogposts and podcast subscriber count.
And normie-nations will be ruthlessly subjugated by the righteous Lulz-Legions.
What I wrote sounds ridiculous, I suppose. But hearing the ideologues opining about their “serious” ideology is, frankly, even more ridiculous than what I penned above.
You too will understand this, in time.
I was reading yesterday something from a guy who totally flew below my radar, Petr Hampl.
It's not about ideology, but about signalling you belong - or at least long to belong - to the Beautiful People. The Beautiful People are international, and owe allegiance more to each other than the country they were born into. This trickles down to the aspirationals who are about anyone middle and lower-middle class:
"First, the power elite is large in number. If we are talking about the richest half a percent, that means more than five million people in Europe and the US. That’s a group big enough to have its own culture, its own taste in music, its own way of dressing, its own diet, and its own lifestyle. This is a huge difference from the situation back in the 1980s, when the elites were national and local, and naturally much smaller. A smaller elite, even if it cultivates its separateness, nevertheless adopts values and basic ideas about life from the subordinate classes. This has disappeared. Today’s New York corporate board members are no closer to Montana construction workers than they are to Somali herders."

Obviously without internet this would have never taken place.
I have got to get this guy's book, a lot of that article resonates with my experience.
My ideology is, now, Believe Nothing. First response. Next response is everything out of a liberal is exactly the opposite in truth. Easy!
