Because I'm a Karamazov. Because when I fall into the abyss, I go straight into it, head down and heels up, and I'm even pleased that I'm falling in just such a humiliating position, and for me I find it beautiful.

I would argue that Galkovsky is not only more intellectually influential than Dugin within Russia but is also more representative of the Russian intellectual culture and the line of reasoning in general. There's nothing mystic or irrational abut his way of thinking

@kamilkazani Insane how he ascribes no agency whatsoever to Russians. It’s a bit like how people talk about Putin having no choice but to launch a full scale invasion.

@Dzhusts I think that’s right. Inter-generational, and International too. I’d love to see “becoming Russian” enter the popular lexicon. For example- The annihilation of Grozny turned Chechens into Russians. The massacres of Novgorod them into Russians. The genocide of Don Cossacks… etc
It’s difficult to negotiate a with a civilization that does not believe in rules, and considers treaties blasphemous to their religious devotion to the idea of an all-powerful Czar.
Eastern European countries need to be nuclear armed.
The Führerprinzip (German: [ˈfyːʀɐpʀɪnˌtsiːp] (listen); German for ‘leader principle’) prescribed the fundamental basis of political authority in the Government of Nazi Germany. This principle can be most succinctly understood to mean that “the Führer’s word is above all written law” and that governmental policies, decisions, and offices ought to work toward the realization of this end.[1] In actual political usage, it refers mainly to the practice of dictatorship within the ranks of a political party itself, and as such, it has become an earmark of political fascism.
A real Chechen fighter – “they want to destroy us because we want to be free.”
This story repeats along Russia’s entire border. It’s been called the “Prison of nations”.
Startling how similar the role of the Kadyrovites is to the historic role of the RU Cossacks – an extra-judicial paramilitary answering directly to the Tsar.
Both suffering and carrying out brutal oppression. When the moment came in 1917, Cossack support for the Tsar vanished.
In a way, it is a “war of necessity” for Russian Civilization. They cannot exist inside of their own borders given the spiritual foundation of their identity. They can’t countenance their weakness and poverty. If they don’t expand, they collapse.
“After the war” – this phrase betrays the Western bias toward arm conflict, which views it as something extremely costly, and therefore temporary.
Low-trust Russian civilization sees war as permanent, only passing through various phases.
