In Russia, the state has controlling stakes in all the largest enterprises and factories. The energy, defense industry, gas, oil, gold, diamonds, and timber are in the hands of the state!
Yes, and it buys putin and his friends nice, big palaces, while the common people live worse than western cattle.

Democracy has its fault, but it is absolutely preferrable to the cleptocratic oligarchy you've got going in Russia these days.

The only advantage you guys have is that you get to stomp down on people you dislike, which helps you ignore getting stomped on from your betters. I guess that is enough for people of a certain mindset.

You watch less of the foreign agents who are paid for it. They must have seen enough of Navalny. I worked at the factory, my salary, along with processing, came out to 60,000 rubles. When I quit, they counted 124,600 rubles for me along with my vacation pay. More than one hundred thousand rubles. Our medicine is free. Everyone has cars, people take out apartments on a mortgage.

Have you seen their palaces yourself? Or do you believe everything that will be shown to you on the video?

Considering that the average monthly earnings of Russians is a little over 1000 US Dollars, while the average US american earns over 6000 dollars, you've just submitted further evidence that on average, Russians can't afford the same living standard as americans.

60.000 rubles is about 650 dollars. That's a laughable wage in any western country. That's what students over here earn part time stacking shelves in supermarkets. It's barely enough that you have to pay taxes on it in germany.

We have agents in Russia, traitors, who, for the money paid to them by the American special services, are fighting our government through the media. They talk and film what they come up with according to their script. Or when you are shown a crowd of Russians in the United States being dispersed by the police, they are mercenaries for money. They are paid for unauthorized protests. It happens that young people are exposed to the propaganda of such as Navalny. But they are young, they make mistakes. Our people are 80% for Putin. Especially the older generation.

Consider the price difference. We have different prices. I even showed you a video with Tucker, and he was in a Moscow grocery store. Prices are lower in the regions. For an apartment, we have a monthly tax, about 3,500 rubles. This is for three rooms, this payment includes central heating.

Don't be silly, understand that the prices are different. 60,000 rubles is a lot of money for Russia, especially for the regions. You can live well with us for 30,000 rubles.

You showed a video where Tucker said that americans pay four times the money for groceries.

I showed you that at the same time, americans earn six times the money on an average wage.

Lol, in the "Regions" you still cook with wood and draw water out of the well behind the house.

By the way, the Russian police are gentle compared to the American police, which, if anything, immediately shoots, either live ammunition or a taser. The most they can do is beat us. You have the police, if you make careless movements - a bullet in the forehead. This is the American police.

I live in Russia and it is better for me to know what amount of money is sufficient, which will be super-sufficient.

Well, if Biden declares Easter Day to be transgender Day, then it's obviously not great, it's obviously bad. A normal society is a man and a woman, these are healthy values.

As I said, as long as you get to stomp on other people, you don't mind the boot on your own neck.

“Democracy is in hell, and in heaven is the Kingdom” (St. John of Kronstadt)

Freedom, democracy - the way to perdition, to hell. Libertarianism leads to the secularization of society, to irreligion, apostasy.

Hmm. Let's return to the OP, then. When your government takes actions that are against your moral principles (and all governments do that, sooner or later), what options do you have? Do you protest? Is it safe for you to protest, or are you likely to be punished by the government?
