But you are conditionally a third or half Russian genetically - accordingly, you are closer to living people, not to cyborgs.
There is much in common between them, and they are united by a provincial view and the absence of a more or less holistic view of the construction at large state entities, such as Russia. Their slogans are on the level - do not be lazy, and everything will be fine! They got used to living in their village, not being surrounded by external and internal enemies all their lives around the perimeter.
But FS also has feministic and men hating vibe (at 21, Carl!).
You listed impoverished resourceless countries designed to live in greenhouse conditions with access to cheap natural and energy resources, as well as an open Western market for their goods. But the resource-donor countries no longer want to give you resources for glass beads, and your neo-colonial world (metropoly-colony model) is shaking. It's just that the old division of labor has ceased to suit all its participants.
Russian clan structures do not flaunt themselves in the media. Even colleagues within the organization may not be aware of your "dynasty" affiliation, unless you share the same last name as the business owner. We don't have all these William Gates I, II, III etc.
What we are seeing today in the collective West is that it is unable to cope with the new and tougher conditions. Its model turned out to be a phantom based on access to cheap energy - as soon as access was gone, the question of survival again rose to its full height. And most importantly, democracy will necessarily transform into a dictatorship in such conditions.
That's what Russia has never been good at, it's "public relations" - for historical reasons, we missed the development of marketing, in which the West has reached perfection. Yes, today we are successfully catching up with the West in this area, but the deep essence of our country again remains unchanged - we produce better than we sell.
Don't be so nervous, we are all not Spinozas here, besides, we are deprived of access to power circles. Where will we get a holistic knowledge of the world order in this case? It remains for us to collect information bit by bit and systematize this knowledge all our lives.
The reason for the differences between Russia and the West clearly has a religious basis.
At the end of the Middle Ages, Western Protestants of all stripes, in collusion with Catholics, cooked their Bible in the form of a kind of locomotive, consisting of 2 parts - an eclectic collection of ancient Jewish cannibalistic and racist stories (Old Testament) and the Holy Christian Gospel, fiercely denied by the Jews. The book was cooked in order to unite Jews rushing to power in some countries of Europe with the help of their capitals, with not surrendering Catholics and maximally Judaized Protestant sects such as the Calvinists, but by the power of Anglo-Saxon and Catholic propaganda, as well as their money, it was distributed on all continents of the Oecumene.
In Orthodox churches, during services and prayers, the Bible is not used and is not mentioned in the list of Holy Books, but some excerpts about the Lives of the Holy Apostles and members of the Holy Family are quoted from it.
Protestantism teaches that God loves the rich and successful, so any means are good to achieve success, including absolutely immoral ones. And that every person, even a beggar at the moment, is a potential millionaire, and "the chosen one", experiencing temporary difficulties.
For this reason, Steinbeck believed that socialism would never take root in the United States, because any tramp considers himself an chosen one and potential millionaire who has not yet been lucky, and not at all an exploited class.
There are actually more differences - our God is a merciful and all-forgiving entity, in contrast to the Protestant one (and Jewish). Also, Russia's plans do not include the destruction of a competing civilization, but the desire to establish good neighborly relations. But Protestants, on the contrary, are trying to destroy (or replace meanings) everything that they do not understand and that prevents them from enrichment, because God loves the rich in their opinion. Etc.
No one denies the great success of Western civilization (by "true" Western I mean mostly Protestants). But how to immerse yourself in hell is to consider yourself "chosen" - (each person is his own God among the Protestants) is to live in eternal struggle and competition with others, the same individualists. In the geopolitical arena, this degenerates into Nazism, both overt and covert. There is an opinion of one narrowly known researcher that Protestantism is good only for a society or a nation while it is still in the outsider stage - later this society will inevitably eat itself, having reached hegemony.
One way or another, most of the Russian problems are caused by the intervention of the West, driven by Protestant morality.
So I want the path of Russia to meet the requirements of Orthodox (New Testament) morality. It does not matter at all what it will be called and under what banner, but this path must keep animal instincts within the most strict limits.
I do not want people with archaic morals to lead my country, and I am also against blind borrowing from the West, without any national rethinking. By the way, 95% of fraudulent schemes and pyramid schemes in Russia were borrowed from the West almost unchanged in the 90s.
Democracy is a good thing within certain limits. But, like any medicine, it must be in moderation, otherwise the medicine turns into poison.
Technologies can help a person reach new heights, but they will never solve the issues of ideological confrontation. AI is not capable of replacing human dreams and political will - it is just a set of algorithms, albeit a very advanced one.
In 1941, the Third Reich was head and shoulders above everyone else in technology - and where is it now?
The Fourth Reich adopted "democracy" instead of Nazism.
