Quote HistoryQuoted: It's a common theme with vatniks and tankies with "Z"s in their names on Twitter. Pathetic. Quote HistoryQuoted: Quoted: Quoted: Putin came to power because the same shitheads meddling in Ukraine pulled the same shit in Russia in the 90’s. He and his party were funded by Boris Berezovsky because Soros, the big player in Ukraine was trying a media grab in the just formed Russian Federation. Soros being Soros shorted the Russian central bank in retaliation and bam, Putin came to power. These shitheads are extremely short sighted. Even Soros’ own foundation in Moscow were embarrassed at the level of corruption he was engaged in. This isn’t propaganda, they were bragging about it in ‘95. This stuff culminated in a two decades tug of war over Ukraine which as Soros put it was “a banana republic without the bananas”. It’s a warzone they created, without remorse or dogma. That’s the real tragedy of this, they’re playing “chessboard” just as the late Brzezinski described it. It’s funny you all will admit what a great “opportunity” this is to defeat Russia through a proxy conflict but you can’t admit the engineering that went into it or admit, probably because you need that shred of morality for your own justification. I’ll admit it because I watched it unfold. As per SOP...anytime something bad happens...it's always our fault. Getting sick of that shit. It's a common theme with vatniks and tankies with "Z"s in their names on Twitter. Pathetic. It's just a rehash of the same Imperialist bourgeoisie chessboard rhetoric of the Cold War which itself is a rehash of Marxist rhetoric from the 19th and early 20th century. It's only particularly funny now when people are using it to supposedly argue against Communists. Ahh, the tragedy of the profoundly idiotic... yet useful. |

Exactly. It's quite literally Russian doublethink propaganda. "Ukrainians are actually Russian people" "Ukrainians are also subhuman pigs" Which is it mr Russian propaganda man? Then the useful idiots chime in with "you guys claim everything that isn't pro Ukraine is Russian propaganda" No, we claim that misinformation that LITERALLY originated from Kremlin talking points is Russian propaganda. When did critical thinking become so rare. It doesn't seem like it's always been like this, but maybe that's just wishful thinking. |

Seriously, is there an even remotely Western country with a divorce rate and abortion rate remotely comparable to Russia's?
This whole "traditional family values, resisting foreign deviance" trope is comical. It's a country of rampant drug use, prostitution, pornography, etc. also on a scale that would intimidate even California. |

Quote HistoryQuoted: I guess he's not totally wrong. Unless more wake up, we and the American way of life as we know it are in deep doo-doo. We (America & the West) are being rapidly taken over by commie globalists. Where I diverge is that Russia isn't much better, only that they haven't abandoned God. Stop calling it communist. There's literally nothing communist about it. Big tech makes record profits, black rock with its social justice scoring systems of all the companies it owns, er 'invests' in, the collusion of big business and the DNC, the republican's unwillingness to fight immigration as it depresses wages of American families, etc. The only 'communists' on the left are the useful idiots who go out marching and burning, but even they will end up on the ashheap of this neofuedalism once they've outlived their usefulness. What we are up against is Cultural Marxism (as embodied by the Frankfurt school) and Crony Capitalism working hand in hand, alternatively using govt or the hegemony of private enterprise, slithering past roadblocks presented by govt restrictions of power, and shifting to slither past roadblocks presented by limits on business, alternatingly as needed to advance their agenda. (Censoring on social media, as the 1st amendment doesn't restrict speech, gathering a treasure trove of data as nothing says private entities can't spy on you, etc) That's why people who say the problem is business, or the problem is govt. will never be able to effectively fight these people. The problem is the people pushing this shit. And until you recognize and target them as the enemy, you will forever be handing them a victory in one arena or the other until their agenda is complete and we are left with nothing. |

Quote HistoryQuoted: I agree with just one thing. That America Democratic Socialists Party does abhors religion in general and Christianity in particular. Because it threatens their power. Hell just look at all the attacks these so called Democratic Socialists have publicly made against religion. Remember Obama's comment about how conservative America clings to their religion and guns. This was just in the news this morning about how this Democratic Socialists Party considers religion a threat to their power. Rest of article is just stupid. Was it not Ukraine that helped cover up something, something with Hunter otherwise Biden would not have given them a billion dollars in aid. How many billions has America given Ukraine now. Why is it America seems more concerned over this than the rest of Europe. Why is it America seems to be the one bank rolling Ukraine more than neighboring nations in Europe. I really do not care about Ukraine because they knew this was going to eventually happen for years and did not prepare for it. But seriously why is America funding this war way more than the rest of the European nations who have a lot more at stake than America does. Ukraine is as corrupt as this Socialist party that's seized power in America Maybe Ukraine has something on Biden and the Democratic Socialists Party they are using to get what they want.  just saying, I could be wrong and it'd not be the first time.Same. |

Rich Russians Apparently Can’t Parade Their Supercars Around in This Economy Apparently, Vladimir Putin thinks public displays of wealth are inappropriate.  by Nico DeMattia for The Drive Aug 29, 2022 3:58 PM Vladimir Putin apparently doesn't care for rich Russian citizens displaying their wealth while his country faces economic hardships, even if those hardships are his own doing. Dozens of rich Russians were arrested after gathering their exotic supercars in Moscow for a "rich and successful" rally in the Russian capital, and more than 170 cars were impounded. Porsches, Lamborghinis, Ferraris, and Rolls-Royces were among the cars in the rally. Seven of the owners are being jailed for up to 15 days, according to Tass, Russia's state-run news. In an attempt to crack down on protests and political dissent, following Russia's invasion of Ukraine, Putin may be implementing a zero-tolerance policy for any public gatherings that aren't specifically planned by the government. According to Putin, public displays of extreme wealth are inappropriate during hard economic times, which is rich coming from the guy who regularly wears watches worth more than the cars he just impounded. Even more ironic is the fact that the harsh economic conditions his citizens are suffering are due to sanctions imposed on Russia by western countries for his invasion of Ukraine. According to the Mirror, Moscow police's sudden crackdown came as a surprise to the rally's organizer, Alexei Khitrov, who said “at first I thought it was a joke." According to Khitrov, the 28-year-old Russian crypto-millionaire, the rally was supposed to create an elite "atmosphere for networking." As cringeworthy as that sounds, Khitrov's surprise isn't unwarranted. Such displays of wealth were never an issue before but, with reports of heavy Russian military casualties, Putin wants to maintain an image of control over his citizens. CONTINUE READING HERE.

The west is significantly more religious than Russia https://i.redd.it/8dxl2f39p7l91.jpg I'm genuinely surprised Poland was as low as it was. If any country were to be championed as a civilizational bulwark in support of Christianity and against Leftist authoritarianism, it would be Poland. Poland is doing its best to keep the worst impulses of EU technocrats in check, all while resisting the SJW/Woke movement and simultaneously standing on the civilizational front line against Russia and its bullshit. It's also a country with far, far more historical claim on neighboring lands (ironically including a good part of Ukraine), legitimate historical grievances against neighbors who have invaded and threatened, and geographical justification for expansion in the name of security. Yet, it chooses not to behave like the Russian apologists seem to think is perfectly acceptable under such conditions. |

Quoted: In before I'm called a bot or shill! Matt Bracken posted this today on Gab and, after reading it, I thought it was important for arfcom to get another take on a very touchy subject. TLDR: GTFO. It's a pretty damn important topic and folks need to understand much of what brought us to where we are today. The Conflict Between Russia and The West is a Religious One by Emmet Sweeney for the Saker blog The war currently underway in Ukraine, which pits Ukraine as a proxy for the collective West against Russia, is primarily an ideological or religious one, with Russia representing what is left of Christian Europe, and “the West” representing a totalitarian ideology that abhors religion in general and Christianity in particular. This statement may sound strange, given the fact that some Westerners – though fewer every day – still see “the West,” (basically Europe and North America) as Christian, and Russia as Communist, or crypto-Communist. But this is no longer the case, and has not been for some considerable time. In fact, the thirty years that have passed since the fall of the Berlin Wall and the end of the Soviet Union, has seen a complete reversal of roles; the collective West is now a totalitarian and aggressively anti-religious power-block that seeks to export its anti-Christian and anti-human ideology onto the rest of the world. And Russia is loathed by the West’s ruling elite precisely because it has resisted this process and moreover has gone in the opposite direction: having once been an active proponent of “scientific materialism” and atheism, Russia has reverted to its Orthodox Christian roots and has rolled back the more pernicious policies and attitudes of the Soviet era. In order to demonstrate the truth of this, we need to look at the history of Russia and its interaction with the West since the early 1990s. By 1991, when the Soviet Union was officially abolished, it was clear that the West had won the Cold War. Russia itself, under its new president Boris Yeltsin, openly proclaimed the end of all hostilities. Russia’s satellites in Eastern Europe were permitted to go their own way, and autonomous republics within the Soviet Union were allowed to declare themselves independent countries.
