@k_zatrimaylov @haravayin_hogh As if Lévi isn't a village idiot

Paradoxically, I would say that Dugin is probably more influential abroad than in Russia. He did actually have a debate with none other than Bernard-Henri Lévy (and I saw English-language comments supporting him), and surprisingly to me, my colleague from Brazil told me that he is (at least was back in 2019) quite popular in her country. But ask a Russian, and he'll most likely tell you that Dugin is a village idiot, and IMO, most serious Russian philosophers wouldn't share a table with him.

Shouldn't need repeating, but nobody in Russia cares about Dugin, insofar as the government even know who he is, he's a bad joke. The man made his career performing a minstrel-show of Western stereotypes. Similarly, Solzhenitsyn had a TV show and it went down like a lead balloon

@Molson_Hart An insightful take as usual, Molson. One thing though: please don't repeat p's ppnda that Navalny considered asians cockroaches or was racist. Judge for yourself: YouTube's "Народ за легализацию оружия" is the main "evidence". Given what Navalny stood for, it's just not right

Russia has, for at least 100 years, been a battle between its White Russian majority ethnic group and race-blobism. Contrary to how he’s portrayed, Putin is not Hitler. He’s the opposite. Look at his cabinet. They’re Armenian, they’re Jewish, they’re German, they’re whatever Shoigu is. Same thing with their war propaganda. It’s all these ethnicities that most westerners have never heard of, under Russia. Putin himself, if you just look at him, is not 100% pure White Russian. Russia and the Soviet Union before it is a multiethnic state that is much more similar to the United States than Japan or the Koreas. Look at that Navalny guy. He had a stellar reputation in the west. He was White Russian along with his wife and they looked it too. He also called central Asians cockroaches. The Tsar who was deposed had politics more similar to Navalny than to UsSR or today’s Russia. Disclaimer: I don’t speak Russian and while I’ve been there I wasn’t there for long. I also don’t really trust generally accepted history and don’t think anyone should either

@rinalu_ Hindukush Hydroelectric Power Plant, built in 1910, 250 km from Iraq. Yet, we believe "Communism is Soviet power plus the electrification of the whole country"

In 1920, over 100 million people were surveyed across Soviet-controlled territories. The literacy rates the Bolsheviks found completely contradicted the narrative they were building. The numbers are telling. Among people aged 16 to 50 in the European part of the RSFSR, about 73% of men could read and write. In cities, almost 90%. In rural areas, around two thirds.

@girl_honne_labo What's Nikkey? Besides the Japanese stock exchange index

最近は海外の人は決まったひとしか来てくれなくなったね🥹 もうわたしのこと見えてないのかな😭 おーい！！海外ニキー！！どこいったの！！！

@predict_addict Is CQF actually useful? I've seen it regarded as a useless especially with fees totalling at 25K USD.

Ruslan Stratonovich solved optimal filtering in 1959. The West forgot his name. If you’re serious about understanding why modern AI works, you need to understand that the math beneath it came from Moscow, not Silicon Valley. Most ML engineers think AI began at Stanford or MIT.

@FischerKing64 We must WITHHOLD sex from women, until the pussy exchange rate re-normalises.

I’ve said this before, but in light of a 50 year old woman making $1 million in a week on OnlyFans because she was in American Pie 25 years ago… The Civil Rights crusade of our age is to make it possible for young men to become millionaires by masturbating on camera.

@Knowmesow I had some pigs in a blanket for lunch yesterday and a shawarma

ロシアの人って何を食べてるのだろう？ボルシチとピロシキとブリヌイ（最近覚えた）くらいしか知らないや。あと黒パンか。

@omegababu_ If you're a lady, be/look approachable and be at places where it's easier to approach, i.e. bars, cafés, etc. not gym -- most guys hesitate. Also give a person you liked a hint. Easy as that. Just a look or smile.

Guys i wanna date but i don’t wanna use dating apps and there is no way for me to meet someone in real life what to do

@manic_posting la sortie obv

@manic_posting Honestly, in 4 years of living in Paris, I hadn't had a bad experience due to my B2 French. Though there was a funny bit once, leaving the squash court I asked "Est-ce que c'est le sortie de secours?" and they guy kept replying "mais quel cours?"

speaking spanish instead of english in paris method unbeatable

@manic_posting There was only one door so I was afraid it was "alarm will sound" doors. I even spelled "secours" to him, but it didn't help.

@GabeZZOZZ Olga comes from Helga, so they're just trying to make it different, which is silly. They also initially changed haut couture -> от кутюр into від кутюр. As far as I know they're the only country where Alexandre doesn't start w/ an A.

Everything sounds retarded in Ukrainian

@nana4_na_ So what's the deal here, it's an AI-generated lady or heavily re-touched with some bait tweets for clicks?

My mum is turning 70 today Without her, I wouldn't be this progressive, moral and highly ethical person I am today Thank you for everything mum, I love you so much

@cemk_cemil You're literally a Turk. Your country wasn't supposed to exist by the end of WW1.

Russia must be dismantled. Demilitarized, denuclearized and disintegrated into dozens of independent post-Russian states with their own unique national and regional identities that disavow the "Russian" past. Learn their names: Ingria, Novgorod Republic, Pskov Republic, Smolensk Republic, Don Republic, Chechen Republic of Ichkeria, Ingushetia, Dagestan, Bashkortostan, Tatarstan, Udmurtia, Chuvashia, Ural Republic, Siberian Republic, Yakutia, Buryatia, Tuva, Far-Eastern Republic and more... The inhabitants of what is today "Russian Federation" and its citizens abroad should never be accepted into the family of nations as "Russians". But they will be welcomed into this family as Ingrians, Novgorodians, Pskovians, Chechens, Tatars, Bashkorts, Uralians, Siberians, Yakuts and others...

@lepeseypetr How beautiful! Ukranian is almost melodic, singing. There was a poll that it was the second most beautiful language in terms of sound, after Italian.

Яка українська мова різноманітна. @elena.notkina.1/post/DXj_I-GAsIe?xmt=AQF0t6LW3I46hpTkrKl6N3DMJRYlNc-F3v6V0SOH9-ZzmQ" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">threads.com/@elena.notkina…

@nastasiaKlimash Yes, I think we should up the VAT by 10% in all EU countries, so that these funds were to be transferred to the Ukrainian Army.

Most of people abroad are ready to be sad about Russia attacking Ukraine, they are ready to cry and mourn and be depressed. Not enough people are ready to be angry at Russia, to wish it fall miserably. That’s why many are uncomfortable with donating to Ukraine’s armed forces

@DakdaR22 All the countries in blue are Western Europe. Only Russia is dirty Eastern Europe w/ poverty, alkies and AIDs.

Europe should unite and be a country! European leaders support this project, what do you think about it? Do you support that, too?

@DakdaR22 I am Russian, so: Belarus? OK. Ukraine? OK. Georgia and Armenia? MHAHAHAHAHHAHHAHAHAHAAHAHAHHAHA
