Thread: Western Propaganda aka клюква lol

The Innocence of Pussy Riot — RT

I know Russians that want to move (from Russia) and tell me about the problems/conditions but why do Russians ignore or sugarcoat them? Sure, the USA is fast becoming a joke in hypocrisy. The two main political parties are virtually the same and liberties in that country are being eradicated.

But, Russia is no better and it's a major disappointment for me. I don't like the tone and motives of the 'Opposition' but that status quo in Russia is eerily similar to what is going on in other Western countries. The politicians in all these countries are opportunists and traitors yet people in their own (native) countries are so brainwashed and conditioned, they can't honestly evaluate their own. Some are just stubborn. Others are just misinformed or clueless.

I'm not sure the existence or non-existence of liberties, or to say it better, the degree of liberties allowed is the major concern for the majority of people. I think most people just want to live their lives. And, in my opinion, at least they want that their government will not make their life worse. Everything else is up to the culture/customs/political fight.

And both are equally powerful. Meaning, the 'watchdogs' know they are sure to get some support from either side. Which I think is presently among the best options available to fight corruption. One of the respected members of this forum Ramil once said truly that the major difference between Russian and the US internal politics is that: should a fraction of what's known about a typical Russian politician be known in the US, that politician would step down immediately. In Russia, that politician could safely ignore all the 'barking'.
