I am observing a very similar sentiment to Sinophobia, now regarding Russia. Reddit’s audience is primarily 80% USA + West EU, and the rest 20% also includes a lot of East Europe and other countries, leaving for 5-10% anti-hatred people. On the other hand, Western world makes up for a mere 12% of the world’s population.

This speaks volumes about how majoritarianism is flipped on the internet by Western world to suit their narratives and loudmouth whatever they want dominating in virtual space. And since moderators are also from said Western countries, the biases are completely intentional and systematic.

For all the “human rights” and “no censorship” nonsense these Western countries spout with the assumption of having high horse on moral grounds, they lie a lot systematically.

Just an observation.

    It is not about Putin. It is about Russia, and the only reason you see “f*** Putin” instead of “f*** Russia” (like "“f*** China”) is because Russians are Caucasian like and white skinned, and not yellow/brown/black skinned. It is English Fascism at play.

    Why do you think you do not see anything talking about the Aegis missile system of 30 NATO countries surrounding Russia at the moment? Why do the 2-5% people having arguments that favour Russia get silenced or called Russian bot?

      I don’t even know what to say about this. You have an incredibly hateful and racist worldview.

      I am pretty sure that is because of the ongoing Russian attack on Ukraine. All of this proves the necessity for protection. The invasion delivered the best possible justification for NATO’s existence.

      Same as above. There is no justificaton for war.

        No it’s just a realist view. Great man theory was completely discredited by modern political economy. Read a book.

            “It’s not about Putin, it’s about Russia” is a true statement. History is not decided by great men. History is decided by the class struggle and material conditions. And right now, Russia is in a popular front just like China was in WW2. Why? Because the west wants to open up Russia’s economy to foreign interests. They want to privatize Russia’s state oil and gas firms and expropriate the profits. The same thing they have done for the resources of countries all over the world. Proof? You can see it in public. Leaders and pundits in NATO are already floating around the idea of regime change in Russia. They are going to try to start a coup and put in a US friendly leader in Russia.

              This already happened. The oligarchs own the means of production, and spend their profits in the West to live lives of luxury. Russia hasn’t been communist for decades, and putin’s friends are the capitalist owners extracting the results of the work of the people for their own private benefit. Where have you been?

        You have an incredibly hateful and racist worldview.

        Go ask the English Fascists, not me. I am just making the truth obvious and open for all to see, because I come from a country colonised by Britishers for 2 centuries. I am decent at English and Theory of Computation, so I know a lot of racist grammar tricks, I guess.

        NATO does not need a reason to exist or genocide or warmonger. Anglo-Saxon imperialist empire has been like this for the past 5 centuries, and plenty recorded history shows it all. Many experts said for years that NATO is poking the Russian bear.
