The West propaganda is that the vast majority of russians are misinformed about what is going on – the war in Ukraine, etc..They , the west claims, are brainwashed, misinformed by official Russian propaganda. They do not know what is happening. That is why they support Putin by 60-70% .
That is bollocks. Pure bullshit made to cover the usual west neoliberal narrative propaganda about its own system. From the all charlatan economists on, to the roots of the debt driven economy, money tree included.
The Russians know enough what is going on.lets see some history As Emmanuel Carrere in his book “Limonov” pointed out , for example, in year 1996, when the second Yeltsin mandate was in jeopardy from the looming victory of a sort of nostalgic nationalistic leftists, like Zhjuganov and some generals, like Lebed, so the Oligarchs, who robbed in a wild west privatization the whole Russia- , made a cunning plan. By the way, A PLAN WRITTEN BY JEFREY SACHS for Russia , with the help of all think tanks of the west.
The cunning plan was- Seeing that the robbery could be stopped and their fortunes be at risk, they, owning almost all tv, media, radio stations and you name it, made a weeeks long propaganda how bad was the former Soviet regime, like starvation in Ukraine by the hand of Stalin, gulags , tens of million of dead, tortured, imprisoned. All true.
So the whole russian province and the all cities WERE FOR WEEKS staring at their only DAILY source of “entertainment”- the Official TV and all radio and newspapers.
They were staring, as they usually do every day, looking at the TV documentaries of this pogroms, gulags, famine, killings, attacks, invasions of the Russian glory.
It was 26 years ago. So all persons older than 45 years living today, know ALL.ALL.
The younger, they had internet, they know even more.
Yeltsin , after this documentary facts bombardment of glorious Russian history, won the second election, the Oligarch were safe and they even escalated the robbery on a system of “loans for stocks” another Chicago boys WEST PLAN to privatize all, buying huge portions of companies for a pittance. The first wave of privatizations was voucher based, Jeffrey Sachs and Chicago boys invention which he sold even to Slovenia and around.. The West plan how to make some creative destruction, pauperize the population, make the Oligarchy control the finances and later buy out the whole bunch of the EAST ex socialist states by the west companies..
Russian Oligarchs, read “Limonov” book, bought the vouchers from the populace for a bottle of vodka…. having a credit line from their bank pals and after bought stocks …the rise of Berezhovskiy, Chodorovsky or whoever, and later BBerezovskye appointing Putin for the boss guardian of their robbed wealth.
Something like the USA robbing barons story , a hundred years go, the railways scams electricity, Rocketfellers… and comp.
In the meantime, The russian populace was dispossessed, driven into poverty,the killings of bankers,killings between Oligarchs started, .. people were killed for an apartment or for a kiosk stall.. The wild russian west.
So, the bullshit that the russians do not know what is going on, is a disgrace for the west propaganda.
They knew it from their TV. Before and now. To think that all of them russians are so stupid, is a disgrace of the superiority complex the west propaganda spreads.
So, if the 60-70% support of the russian population is real, as it seems, it can mean only that, at the best, the russians on purpose ignore the facts for the purpose of quiet living, they know but prefer not to see, as they did in all russian history, they support the invasion because of implanted innate Imperial nationalistic mindset, as the US populace does, and do not care a bob what is happening to the Ukraine people,even if they speak the same language and have family ties there.They did not care even when pogroms were running wild, because of fear or quiet living, but THEY KNOW AND KNEW.
FACE THE FACTS- the russian majority supports the war.Full heartedly, half heartedly, by Ignoring or by Denial, or by not thinking about it.
They deny responsibility, which is passed to the TZAR and is his business of running an Empire. That is how perverted monkey delegates issues which are personal but denied and hence transposed to some other entity…….
The question about all inhabitants of an Empire is: do they feel the guilt when their TZAR makes killings, at home or abroad?
Maybe, that is why russians drink so much. ZAPOJ- a days long complete drunkenness.Knocked completely out (like English or New Zealanders on weekends), read “Limonov” you buggers from the brain dead west. Or, the fentanyl… for the west masses.
So. When we talk collective guilt, the german afterwar situation comes to mind. This was a positive outcome, but, in Russia, there is no sight of this catharsis.
But, there is a special mindset in the slavic brain. IT is called SVETOBOL
It has multiple meanings, ONE IS: A view that expresses pain, sadness over the mismatch between ideal and reality, BETWEEN wanting and achieving this.
Second consequence of the meanings is: the OTHERS do not understand us, so that is why they do not like or love us.Which leads to suppressed melancholy and outbursts of aggression.
OR, in German, similar mindset, from wikipedia: Weltschmerz (from the German, literally world-pain, also world-weariness, pronounced [ˈvɛltʃmɛɐ̯ts]) is a term coined by the German author Jean Paul in his 1827 novel Selina,[1] and denotes the kind of feeling experienced by someone who believes that physical reality can never satisfy the demands of the mind.[2]
WD note- lets get drunk as a cure for this antinomy!
In its original meaning in the Deutsches Wörterbuch by Brothers Grimm, it denotes a deep sadness about the insufficiency of the world (tiefe Traurigkeit über die Unzulänglichkeit der Welt). The translation can differ depending on context; in reference to the self it can mean “world weariness”, while in reference to the world it can mean “the pain of the world”.[3]
WD : And we are in the Russian “pain of the World” and hop, Putin has found the excuse and has forgotten about the GUILT!
IT is the Others- The West, who does not understand us, do not like us, and we have to react. The best excuse one can find where there are none left.
But, what about Guilt, the real outcome of this invasion and killings?
OK, how WE will present GUILT of their actions to the russian populace, when they do nasty things? HAha, the question the brain dead west never answered for its own nastiness.
Admit your guilt and ask for the same in return.
Or, bomb.One for you and one for me.
BUT, what about the WEST, especially the USA mindset worldset?
This one is easy. If you have looked Biden speaking in Poland, there is only one thing of that type of mindset which comes in mind; the Elvis the Pelvis song!
The hound dog mindset of the anglosaxon upbringing.
Smelling blood and running for it.
