    They wear a lot of civilisational pretence on their sleeves, but the core of their culture, mindset, morality and worldview isn’t formed on the foundation deriving from ancient Greece or Rome, but from pyramids of skulls from Eurasian steppes.

    Famously peaceful chill ancient Rome and Greece who enslaved half the world known to them through violent conquest. Reactionaries always do this, they pretend like ancient philosophers or whatever have any relevance to how modern people think and behave. They believe you can somehow draw distinctions between modern people through their influence from Confucius or Aristotle. And somehow that sort of thing has equal or more sway than tangible things like money or access to housing. They think in assassin’s creed logic or something, like that ancient memories have embedded themselves within the genetics of various ethnic groups.

    I don’t even know what to call this sort of racism. Imagine being so racist you think Russians don’t know who Plato is and somehow this has concrete impact on geopolitics

      PEACEFUL EUROPEAN SLAVERS AND COLONISERS AND FANS OF CALIPERS

      They think in assassin’s creed logic or something, like that ancient memories have embedded themselves within the genetics of various ethnic groups.

      Eugenics. They think in eugenics and ancestry. This is all repackaged master race shit. They believe themselves biologically and culturally superior and the underlying ideology derived from this is supremacist. In this case it is dressed up as a cultural supremacism. They do not want to coexist, they want to dominate or destroy. The very existence of anything slightly different to themselves is grotesque to them unless they hold imperial dominion over it and can exploit it.

      So basically much of the world that were and are doing their own thing are…what, evil?

      Hitler particles detected indeed hitler-detector

      I support the global South turning towards China and getting whatever they need to turn attempts at invasion and regime change into a fair fight

    Heard a joke once

    The Mongols are raiding a Polish Village, they burnt all the buildings and are leaving, dragging all the women and children into slavery

    An old man emerges from a burnt out hut, and yells: “Its been a pleasure, please come again!”

    A younger man climbing out of the same hut says to the old man: “are you crazy? Do you want all that to happen again?”

    The Old man replies: “Yes but to get to us they have to go through the Russians and they have to go through them again when they go back”

    “The difficulty in understanding the Russian is that we do not take cognizance of the fact that he is not a European, but an Asiatic, and therefore thinks deviously. We can no more understand a Russian than a removed or a Japanese, and from what I have seen of them, I have no particular desire to understand them, except to ascertain how much lead or iron it takes to kill them. In addition to his other Asiatic characteristics, the Russian has no regard for human life and is an all out son of bitch, barbarian, and chronic drunk.”

    what-the-hell

    Are we on Polish subreddit or am I missing something? We have trade deal with China and train network, we bought plenty military equipment from South Korea. Many asians emigrated to Poland years ago and they are very well integrated. Very false assumption, we just dont care about Russia and most ppl think they are not compatible with European values.

    “I’m not racist because there are non-whites in my country”

    The future commander of the fourth reich is in that thread

    Oh jeez I wonder why is there a bunch of Nihilism brewing in nations that not only had their cities literally blown to pieces in world wars, but then experienced Neoliberal shock therapy destroy what they tried to rebuild and have had USA breathe down their neck for 100 years.

    Reddit: No, they must be hordes!!! Look how they’re always playing the victim!

    These people have videogame brain but it’s historical strategy game brain so they’ve convinced themselves that because video games haven’t given them some plebian delusion of Call of Duty-style shooting their way out of a scenario, they instead delude themselves as into thinking they’re like Napoleon gesturing imperiously at a map.
