Russophobia as a phenomenon

[mindrust]

And tell me, who is deporting innocent imaginary russians back to russia now?
Just because you can think of something doesn't make it real. Situation is quite opposite, we have literally taken russian refugees.

Read the post again. I am asking you if you are OK with this. From your earlier post I get the impression that you are agreeing with these 2 guys.

As for deporting all Russians, well, they all pose a risk. How many of them actively support Putin's regime? Do you know?

They have to be deported now or will have to be interned later.

  Russia must be isolated from civilization, like a prehistoric lizard that has survived to our time.

If you don't, then good for you. I don't see a reason to have a debate with you.

Crowd goes wild. Many Americans now understand the enemy isn’t Russia or China. The enemy is the US deep state oligarchy that weaponizes intelligence services, bribes politicians and controls the media.

Putin has become smarter. He is getting rid of the Covid Vaccines in Russia.


PUTIN ORDERS DESTRUCTION OF ALL COVID-19 VACCINES IN RUSSIA


https://www.rumormillnews.com/cgi-bin/forum.cgi?read=218480
Russian President Vladimir Putin has ordered the destruction of all Covid-19 vaccine stockpiles on Russian soil, citing an undeniable connection between what has been dubbed the “Moscow Vax” and a sudden surge of HIV infections in vaccinated persons, Federal Service Bureau agent Andrei Zakharov told Real Raw News.

Although Putin has not made a formal announcement, he has tasked his right-hand man, Defense Minister Sergei Shoigu, with purging hospitals, clinics, and pharmacies of the Sputnik and CoviVac vaccine variants. The military will ensure compliance by auditing vaccine repositories and performing spot inspections.

Like President Trump, Putin was deceived by a lie; a global consortium of devious doctors, health professionals, and government stooges spun a convincing yarn about a virus that would ravage the world unless vaccines were developed to inoculate the population as soon as possible. The WHO had infiltrated the Russian Ministry of Health and planted agents of evil within the Council of Ministers and State Duma, and Western propaganda—fables of people sick with Covid falling dead on the street—seeped through Russia’s once secure borders. No nation was immune to the most elaborate disinformation campaign in the history of humanity.

On 2 December 2020, Russia launched its first mass vaccination experiment, beating other nations to the punch and delivering 6.9 million doses in the first week. As of 21 June 2022, 81.5 million people have received at least one dose, with 74.3 million fully vaccinated. In the West and Russia, vaccine recipients presented side effects such as cardiac ailments, seizures, and blood clots, with many dropping dead at home, at work, or in the streets.

I think we must fight against Russophobia because it not different than fascism. Why would people treat the Russians differently? They have eyes, noses and mouths like every other human being.

I am very saddened how these innocent Russians being treated in Europe. Is it a crime to be born Russian?

Europe should get its shit together and end their fascism against the Russians once and for all.

I have Russian friends, Georgian friends and Ukrainian friends. The "Russophobia" does not exist, is an invention of the Kremlin propagandists to justify their un-justifiable aggression. The world is not against Russians, it is against an illegal war waged by the current government and military ranks of the Russian Federation.

In war times, the enemy is the enemy and it is unclear who can potentially be a spy, so actors and others may of course be banned.

RE fascism and Europe, poverty attracts simple and wrong solutions to complex problems. Fascism is a simple and wrong solution that comes when people are disappointed with democracy.

It exists in this thread. Have you seen these 2 guys' posts?

This one says most Russians are violent and only bring misery.

It is phobia when the fear is irrational.

Fear of Russian genocidal maniacs is perfectly rational.
The vast majority of Russians are violent and aggressive. They hate Europeans and Americans.
Their culture consists of drinking, swearing, stealing, and most of all LYING.
Russkiy Mir only brings misery.

Read the other dude:

Yes, right! Russians must be deported! The fact is that most of them are young, and it is they who, as they have seen the advantage of democracy, should remove Putin.

Why would all the Russians deserve to be deported? Just because they are Russians? Where is the common sense in that?

Now tell me these guys ain't Russophobes. They are indeed.

Or are you telling me... these guys are Kremlin propagandists acting like Russophobes?

Maybe you are onto something. Tbh I wouldn't be surprised if these 2 guys are hardcore Russians.  

The last time Europe went full Hitler no good thing happened to them. Hopefully it won't happen again.

I have a friend that hates ducks, but that does not make "duckophobia" more real than Santa Claus.

There will always be racism and fascism, but there is no threat to the Russian culture, traditions or any other expression that could be classed as "Russian". Please, be all very aware of the current RF government trying to appear to be a defender of "values", they are not, they are just criminals. The divide is artificial and voiced by a government that need their population to hate others to hide their own ineptitude. A classic tactic - if things go poorly at home, look for an enemy outside.

A clear proof that the government is not concerned with Russophobia is the war itself - unless they believe that people will love them for killing others.

If people come to your country to kill, you will hate the killers. The Russians came to the Caucasus and for 40 years killed the local peoples. Some have disappeared altogether. The same was true in Siberia and Turkistan. The conquered Russian peoples were deprived of their language, culture, Russification was going on. Today, the Russians returned to Ukraine with the same goal, declaring that the Ukrainian people do not exist, that the inhabitants of Ukraine are Russians.

Russophobia was caused by the government controlled media of the West. The media is controlled in such a way that it hides hide the fact that it is controlled by government. Stalin made this Russophobia to have a basis in being real. The media simply expanded on it.

Wake up. Stalin is long gone. His ideals might still be held by many people, but these ideals are waning, as well. However, Russia under Stalin did have one thing that is good... strength. The way this strength was managed was what was wrong.

The thing that we are talking about is US control through the money system. The money system controls the governments of the West. And they are the ones who are creating Russophobia through the media. And because you were personally or family hurt by somebody-Russia or something-Russia, you have blown the whole Russophobia idea way out of proportion.

I must say that there are many Russophobes among the Russians, because in large numbers they are fleeing Russia.

[Hispo]

I must say that there are many Russophobes among the Russians, because in large numbers they are fleeing Russia.

I do not think that being forced to live your country or leaving your country to secure your personal safety and your family's makes you a Russophobe. Russian citizens who leave the country do so because they are not in favor of the conflict/ current Russian politics or the government. Most of them can develop negative feelings towards their politicians, leaders and the government as a whole, but I do not see a reason for someone to antagonize the Russian people when there are not in control of what Putin does.

Unless, I am missing something about the Russian society. Do Russian who stay in the country antagonize those who left?

Certainly, Putin speech does not help...

On 16 March, President Vladimir Putin issued a warning to Russian "traitors", claiming that the West "wanted to use them as a fifth column" and that Russians would always be able to "distinguish the true patriots from the scum and the traitors".

I must say that there are many Russophobes among the Russians, because in large numbers they are fleeing Russia.

Putin's popularity in Russia is about 80%. Is it like this because of all the Russophobes who left Russia? Lol. But you gotta consider that many of the Russophobes left Russia to go to Ukraine to help with the police action against Ukraine. They aren't really Russophobes, are they? But they DID leave Russia, didn't they... to go fight in Ukraine? Lol.

Now, compare that with Ukrainophobes. It's like 80% of the Ukrainian population left Ukraine. Why? Could they be on Russia's side, simply getting out of the way so that Russia could do its job against the Ukraine Nazi's?

Ukrainophobes were fed up with the Ukraine government long before Zelensky moved in. Zelensky was the final straw. Ukraine's population is so small, now, that all the money and armament that the US and Nato are shipping in isn't enough to stop the Russians.

You plainly don't know what you are blabbing about.

All the "information" on this post is false. Putin's popularity is not measured by any trustable standard, 2 Million Russians already voted with their feet by migrating, even to countries that are not really that attractive. And the population of Russia has been on the decline for more than a two decades.

The RF invasion of Ukraine is only related to Putin's ambitions in the territory, there is no ideological background to it. Many Ukrainians gave their lives during WW II fighting against the III Reich. The Soviet Union had at least one prime minister of Ukrainian origin. Ukraine has effectively stopped the RF army and recovered territory. The population of Ukraine is enough to fight, because today's wars are much more about technology, training and moral (hint, a Vagnerite taken from a prison to the front classes as "low moral" and "immoral" btw).

I think we must fight against Russophobia because it not different than fascism. Why would people treat the Russians differently? They have eyes, noses and mouths like every other human being.

Europe should get its shit together and end their fascism against the Russians once and for all.

I have Russian friends, Georgian friends and Ukrainian friends. The "Russophobia" does not exist, is an invention of the Kremlin propagandists to justify their un-justifiable aggression. The world is not against Russians, it is against an illegal war waged by the current government and military ranks of the Russian Federation.

In war times, the enemy is the enemy and it is unclear who can potentially be a spy, so actors and others may of course be banned.

RE fascism and Europe, poverty attracts simple and wrong solutions to complex problems. Fascism is a simple and wrong solution that comes when people are disappointed with democracy.

Pretty much this.

I do not see any Russians being attacked or harassed en masse anywhere in the world currently. Sure, there are Russians who live in other countries and are cheering Putin on, but honestly, most Russians don't. And the only reason why Russians in Russia are so overwhelmingly "for Putin" is because of manufactured consent, threat of being sent to a work camp and never coming back and direct threats of executions for anyone living higher than the first floor.

Sweeping "all Russians" under the same rug is wrong, I believe. That kind of thinking is WW2 era xenophobia which has no place in our modern times.  We are all the same but with different, ever-changing state of minds.

Education and evidence are the only weapons we should use to fight against ignorance and hatred.

Agree, there are quite a few Russians that support the current government, but they are not to be hated, they are to be pitied. They do not have access to proper information and cannot really complaint or express their opinion in public nor verify what the TV feeds them daily.

The current RF government and the military upper ranks, these are to be hated. It is despotism and medieval thinking at its best, pretty much everything that is wrong in the world with weapons on the side.

Did you live in Russia back in the 90-es years of the last century? I did. I was hungry many times. I lost my apartment because "ownership" appeared. I remember how people from the USA bought the most profitable businesses in my city where they didn't pay salaries to Russian workers. We don't want to happen this again. That is why most people who live in Russia support Putin. We will not let you come back to rob Russia again!
