Here’s something to consider with respect to the Russo/Slavic mentality. They don’t think like we here in the West do. They never did. I don’t have time to get into the details of this now, but it has to do with the combination of the Norse/Viking two-class system and the corpus of Eastern Orthodox religious and philosophic thought that combined to produce what we now call Russia over 900 years ago. As a peopel and a cultuer, the ynever experienced what we regard as the rule of law. Their outlook tended towards the pessimistic and fatalistic, and the idea of he individual as separate from the state never caught on.
Remember what Machiavelli had to say when it came to conquering those who lived in relative freedom:
“When cities or provinces have been accustomed to live under a prince... they do not know how to live in freedom... and a prince can win them over with greater faculty and establish himself securely. But in republics, there is greater life...they do not and cannot cast aside the memory of their ancient liberty, so that the surest way to conquer them is to lay them waste.”
—This, from Machiavelli’s most famous work, The Prince
We STILL have our memory of liberty - in fact, it still burns bright in many of our countrymens hearts and minds. We were founded as a Republic, and we valued liberty from the start. Our charter was underwritten by philosophical and religious outlooks that valued the individual.
That’s our culture and that’s why the Gramscian, Machivellian Left has tried so hard to destroy it. “Lay it waste,” as Machiavelli prescribed so long ago.
So yes, it’s late in the game, but we’re on to them. They’re intoxicated with the prospect of absolute power. There are, I believe, enough of us willing to stand up to defeat them, by word and by deed, and in a theater of fire and blood. I, for one, will not go quietly.
