by Poland and Lithuania. Ukraine was also destroyed in the wake of the Tatar-Mongol yoke. Russians are not divided in this
way and have a more solid self-identity.
What you are responding to is all the whiny bitches which are making the loudest noises. They are actually a tiny minority that
has managed to alienate fully the Russian majority. One of the tricks of western propaganda is to focus attention on false
narratives and insignificant stooges. This crowds out reality and makes it appear that a handful of fringe loons are viable
candidates for power. You see this effort with Navalny. So you can judge the whiner malcontent fraction of Russian society
by the "crowds" this turd draws to his absurd rallies. The numbers are a joke and the only reason most of the clowns who
participate even turn out is because they are paid. Recently they even complained that they were not paid for their demonstration
services.
The reason you are not seeing all of these idiots in Canada is because of several aspects:
1) Like all westerners, Canadians are brainwashed from birth about how good Canada is. This
culture originates partly from the fact that Canada is a country of immigrants. People who abandon their home
countries have a vested interest in extolling their place of arrival. It is pure delusion. The US is severely afflicted
with this disease. If left to their own, even western Europe would be maligned in North America, but propaganda
by the elites counteracts this for western Europe and amplifies it for eastern Europe.
2) The western and non-western MSM never gives malcontents a platform. That doesn't mean that they
do not exist.
3) Unlike in Canada, the USA and most of the west, people engage in political discussion in social contexts
in Russia. So there is no hiding of actual sentiments. This is actually an indication of the real freedom level.
In the so-called free west people are afraid to open up over important subjects like politics. So they talk about
irrelevant BS like sports and celebrities. Whinging about Canada is socially unacceptable in Canada. But
in Russia you have the Cold War "dissidents" who feel that they are "freedom fighters" and "advocates for
a better way of life".
So the whiny malcontents in Russia are a pathology of the USSR period. Through repressive measures it
created a seditionist subculture. But this subculture is fading since it is based on outdated conditions
and was never a majority of the population anyway. That it has youth amongst its members is not an
indication of vibrancy. Children inherit the BS of their parents. That is why social problems are so hard
to rectify.
