I would change some things in Russia, but not too much. In general, everything is not bad here, there is something wrong in striving for change for the sake of change. sometimes it seems to me that people in the West have gone mad. All these "parent number one", "parent number two", black foot kissing and other gay parades. Fuck that kind of progress. It seems that being a white heterosexual male in the West is now extremely disadvantageous and I am glad that I was lucky to be born in Russia.

Even if people in the west have gone mad, it doesn’t change the problematic situation in russia. You can not confident yourself and your position as a better one only because you think that somebody else has worse conditions, which you don’t wish for yourself. Maybe you don’t have “parent #1 and #2”, but it doesn’t mean at all that russian families are healthier or happier, considering a lot of cases of incomplete families and domestic violence, the inability to provide for their children, and so on.

The same applies to gay rhetoric: the fact that you officially despise this issue does not mean that there are no homosexual people in society. What is the result of all this negative rhetoric? You simply pretend that these problems do not exist, when in fact the only result is the restriction of the freedoms of citizens. The same goes for war. How can you say that you were lucky to be born in russia, if the very fact of this birth puts you in front of the risk of being killed in a war against your will? You can be as happy as you want that you are a straight white male who can openly express disgust for Western realities, but what is the point if you are doing it just because the state allowed you to? Tomorrow the position of the government may change, and then what to do if you are doomed to live in a country that is not free?
