As for the Russian empire, it's the very special fundamental counterbalance the world needs, and the one into which I feel I belong because I share core values with them, such as...
* God fearing
* Christian
* Family oriented
* Heterosexual
* Nationalist
* Dignified
Core values, most of which I cannot find in the West... it's as simple as that.
Well Get Real, it seems you have a lot in common with the American people.
They are more so God Fearing, Christian, quite conservative and family orientated, extremely proud and nationalistic, and dignified.
The only exception is homophobia. Whilst it exists everywhere, America included, society in America is still very tolerant and accepting of homosexual people which is of course quite a responsible and reasonable approach since homosexuals are human, and are also by enlarge very nice people, and are probably homosexual because that is their genetic disposition, and also because what anyone does in their bedroom is really none of our concern.
That is why America is so good. The civil liberties movement occurred hear decades ago. Russia is in the Dark age of repression and backwardness still to this day.
Where would I prefer to raise a family? 1000 times more in America than in a shit hole line Russia.
The Stars and Stripes Get Real. It has meaning.
Well I guess by “West” I was thinking more of the EU which has gone down the tubes lately.
As for the US… some of their citizens may be compatible with me, but their government certainly isn’t and that’s important for me too.
