RUSSIA: THE WHITE PEOPLE WHO FAILED
(use this meme)
Why is it, that throughout their history, at every opportunity, Russians consistently make the wrong decision? What is it that Russians incorrectly intuit about the world? Why do they have the lowest trust most corrupt nation of all the white peoples? Why is it that Russians are the one white people who have failed.
If any people was ever incapable of self government, it’s Russians. If any people was less capable of governing others. It’s the Russians. What is it about the Russian character that causes them to consistently fail? What metaphysical assumption about the nature of man and his relationship to the world is so flawed that unless tightly bound to europe they contribute nothing to legacy of white people? Why is it that western peoples have dragged the entire world out of ignorance mysticism sickness and poverty, while russians try consistently to reverse the trend by dragging those white people near them into their failed civilization?
Why is it that Russians have nothing to offer the world other than corruption, violence, fear and poverty?
Why are Russians the only white people who have failed?

FROM ANDRAS TOTH (edited)
Russian peculiarity, to a certain extent is a consequence of geography – as with any other nation and state in premodern and to a certain extent, lesser degree in modern times.
1) Few big rivers channeling into closed sees – obstructs trade and industrial development, favours self-sustaining closed economies.
2) Far away from big cultural centres, which lessened the impact of other cultures, and learning by transactions, copying, emulating and transfer of ideas, new practices.
3) Russia only entered into European history in the XVIIIth century, when expanded borders westward (absorbing Ukraine and Eastern Poland and the Baltics) and with the advent of railways, which made possible the larger scale involvement in trade and world markets.
4) Unfortunately for Russia, when technically was able to join to the world economy, key countries moved to economic nationalism, beginning with Germany which imposed custom tariff on agriculture products to save East Prussian Junkers from Russian wheat and agricultural products.
5) Nothing else left to Russia than turn to imperialism and try to expand to get to the seashore through the Balkans to circumvent German trade barrier.
6) Hence the I.WW, where Russian expansion was blocked by Austria Hungary backed by Germany.
7). Bolshevik revolution due to the extreme hardship and delegitimization of Czarist regime as a direct consequence of I. WW.
8) Communist destruction.

To which I’ll add:
(1) the desert and steppe people are a problem and always have been, and have been exceedingly so for the Rus who sit between us, and those people. The chinese character is likewise informed by that same concern, although the chinese do have a nearly impassable desert between them and the ‘undesirable’ people. So just as we in the west have tried to keep the ‘near east’ at bay since the bronze age, the people in both Russia and China have tried to keep the ‘steppe’ people at bay – and failed most of the time. The mongols the most obvious case.
(2) When Russians sought to modernize, the had the choice of selecting european or byzantine christianity. They chose poorly. Their main trading partner was still byzantium / Islam. The origin of much of the Rus culture is slave trade with Byzantium / Islam.
(3) As a large poor backward country, they kept their expropriation serfdom until a couple of hundred years ago, the better of the Czars couldn’t modernize fast enough, the soviets (the underclasses) restored that totalitarianism. It’s a very nihilistic low trust culture that seeks easy solutions to problems and has no problem with the win-lose ethic. The win-win ethic is something they actually assume is some kind of deception.
(4) Without the catholic church’s ban on intermarriage, the west would not have broken familial and tribal bonds, and we would not have outbred, and created the high trust society. Although one reason we broke those bonds easily was that north sea peoples had already been practicing outbreeding and manorialism, which is the origin of the protestant ethic. Not much protestant about it.
