"Why are Russians often seen as amoral, brutal, or ruthless?" In this video, I tackle this intriguing question from a subscriber's perspective as a writer born in the USSR. Join me as I uncover the deep social and historical forces that shape Russian behavior, exploring the layers of the social pyramid, the influence of state power, and its impact on morality and actions. From loyalty to authority to the importance of personal connections, I dive into the unique dynamics of Russian culture and social structures. Get ready for an eye-opening journey into the complexities behind the perceptions.

This is rich, coming from a Spaniard...
You win, I won’t move there. Nor will I support military aid to Russia in support of the Ukraine war.
Consider me neutral.
This guy’s from a country that strip-mined Mexico and South America for its natural resources and native slaves...
Moral high ground :)
zeepers will like it.
The coolest manners thing about them is in theater seating. As someone moves down the row to or from their seat, they face the person as they move past, instead of putting their ass in your face.
It’s the little things.
Your obsession with, biased toward and extreme hatred of Russia and Russians is just as vile as racism and anti-Semitism. It’s moral sickness.
Philippine Pre-Colonial Headhunting
The practice of headhunting played a significant role in the pre-colonial history of the Philippines, with various ethnic groups engaging in this tradition for a multitude of reasons. In northern Luzon, ethnic groups such as the Ifugao, Bontoc, Ilongot, Sagada Igorot, Kalingas, and Apayaos practiced headhunting as a cultural custom. This practice involved the taking of an enemy's head as an act of revenge or to bring glory and good luck to a warrior and their village.

“This guy’s from a country that strip-mined Mexico and South America for its natural resources and native slaves...”
Good point, invaded and destroyed a CONTINENT (and more), with a FULL-SCALE attack, and without provocation.
And now they want to lecture the world as to what is right and what is wrong. SPARE ME
And me as well.
And yet they’re more moral than the US where adoptions are concerned. They won’t allow preverts to adopt children.
From Proto-Philippine, from Proto-Malayo-Polynesian *buqaya, from Proto-Austronesian *buqaya.

“I’m sure there were even some Russians helping other Europeans to bring civilization to that dark corner of the world.”
Strangely enough I don’t recall a single case of a Russian pre the 1920’s - 30’s. There were a fair number of “White Russians” who showed up then, refugees who had fetched up in the Philippines from Shanghai or elsewhere in China. We knew several of their descendants. But that all was centuries after the times of settlement and Christianization.
There certainly were pagans and savages in the islands, and worse, Muslims. In the very first volumes of dispatches from the Legaspi expedition (Its all online in English, look for Blair & Robertson, the translators) there are accounts of depredations of these pirates, and of skirmishes against them. It was indeed the Spanish and the Church that brought civilization there. Among the Spanish, military, officials, and clergy, there were a good number of Frenchmen and Italians and even a few Belgians (or what we today would call Belgians), as well as natives and mestizos (mixed race) from what is now Mexico and Peru.
That is why I am more concerned as to what is happening to my nation, for it was that middle-class, which was the largest class in the U.S., that attracted people from around the world. Now the come to steal what they can when the stupid get to vote for insane leadership that also steals what it can.
Perhaps this person is yet another prong of those who are trying to destroy this nation.
Is that the case buwaya; do you have desires to destroy this nation? Id that why you sided with Ukraine & Democrats to send our money, that we do not have, to save Ukraine? Where was Spain during both World Wars? I can tell you where they weren't, fighting with the Allied nations against the Axis Alliance. Ay least Russia was there with us.
Would you mind arranging for my pay? I haven’t seen it yet. Who do I talk to? Just asking because you seem to know.
This one is definitely not playing with a full deck.
Not to long ago he went completely psycho on me. 🫨
I still have no clue what the he// he was yapping about.
The United States of America encourages it [perverts adopting children].
“do you have desires to destroy this nation?”
Yes, yes I do. I have been trying desperately for years to facilitate your failure to educate your kids. And I do it with a highly successful strategy of reverse psychology. Every time I tell you the truth of the dreadful state of things, you, being mindless, reflexive creatures, reject it. Therefore the more you know, the more you reject reality. It has worked brilliantly.
“Where was Spain during (between) both World Wars?”
Minding our own business, but really caught up in a massive state of ideological unrest.
Which ended up in fighting each other, culminating in the Spanish Civil War, 1936-39. You may have heard of it. Russia wasn’t being too helpful in our case.
