    “It turns out the Soviets — er, the Russians — won. The U.S. has become Russia, not the other way around. The U.S. lost the Cold War — not to communism, but to autocracy.”

    Classic liberal establishment claiming that the Soviets and the Russian Federation are the same thing and that they were/are still an autocracy! The United states winning the Cold War was a victory for capitalist oligarchy which in a sense is really a loss for the entire country/world as a whole. We are about to go through self-imposed Shock therapy.

    It feels like we are going through some weird inverse of the Cold War where Trump is Khrushchev and Europe is China.

    His linked sources are also pretty funny.

    I skimmed the one about the AfD and BSW having ties to Russia. It’s a hit piece from German state media where the “evidence” of said ties are the anti-war and anti-escalation policies those parties have.

    “It turns out the Soviets — er, the Russians — won. The U.S. has become Russia, not the other way around. The U.S. lost the Cold War — not to communism, but to autocracy.”

    Imagine a liberal version of “On the Jewish question”, but Russian instead

    {The Russian Federation} reaches its highest point with the perfection of {aUtOcRaCy}, but it is only in the {Western} world that {aUtOcRaCy} attains perfection. Only under the dominance of {the West} , which makes all national, natural, moral, and theoretical conditions extrinsic to man, could {aUtOcRaCy} separate itself completely from the life of the state, sever all the species-ties of man, put {aUtOcRaCy} in the place of these species-ties, and dissolve the human world into a world of {totalitarian} individuals who {obediently supervise} one another.
