  • IDK, if you ask me, anyone who has the means ($ and/or skillset) could easily live affordably and with a higher standard of living in Russia (including in regards to safety) compared to much of the US. When you measure by actual purchasing power parity (PPP) Russia is 4th largest in the world, in terms of actual wealth (infrastructure, production, resources) rather than capital and in particular rather than hyperfinancialized speculation like is rampant across the west, the fact is that Russia is actually pretty decent as far as things go, and hilariously they’ve started further re-industrializing and investing in their country (and not just for the “war economy”) thanks to the sanctions and blatant theft of their assets. I suppose if someone wants specifically “McDonalds” brand McDonalds and all the other western treats™, it might be unavailable, cost a little more, and/or require jumping through a few hoops (though domestic Russian industry, Chinese, and other BRICS brands are happily taking their place).

    Honestly, it’s pretty interesting, and the western dismissal of Russia and assumptions that things are dismal like as if it’s back in the days of shock therapy is pretty similar to the dismissal of China and some other global south countries IMO (particularly in regards to the actual wealth/quality of life clearly experienced).




  • No offense (offense) but lmao

    Also, for all his infinite issues (and the fact both are undeniably terrible, bigoted, and genocidal people no decent person should ever support) Trump is if nothing else more ““intelligent”” and even- ergh- ““accomplished”” than Kopmala (the bar is in hell for both of them). What exactly has Kopmala done to her name other than terrorize poor people and minorities? And don’t tell me that she got her role for her accomplishments or whatever (POC and a woman myself and let’s not kid ourselves here lol) or that she did anything in her role (not that Biden did either, probably).




  • Fingers crossed- admittedly while I of course am on the opposite side of these racists, hopefully someday they shall wake up and find themselves minorities or only minor majorities in their countries. inshallah not because it is “racially better/superior,” but because the diminishing of the cores in this aspect can only ever be a good thing and I’m all for it (and karma is hilarious)

    Serves them right for having such a weak, pathetic, and completely artificial concept of “”“whiteness”“” which falls into chaos when their cartoonishly strict “phenotype” is deviated from, or when someone is Muslim, etc…
