Redditor clearly explains why average Russians seem so delusional about the war in Ukraine. : bestof

Post a video from like April 2022

Woman says something about American weapons back then mb it sounded stupid. Now Ukraine uses mostly nato weapons.

Redditor post this video today.

To fully comprehend things like this, you need to understand how Russians view 'truth' and 'lies.'

The 'truth' is something you share with close family and friends and then, only rarely, when it really matters.

To everyone else, you just tell them what they want to hear, or what you think they want to hear. This is to people like the government and authority figures and your neighbors.

Lastly, you have the stuff you tell to outsiders. Plain, simple, bold lies. You lie to the outsiders and foreigners even if they know you're lying and you know that they know that you're lying. You parrot the lie that you're expected to say to avoid hard questions and you lie the big lies because the truth makes you uncomfortable and makes you look bad.

You pretend to tell the truth and they pretend to believe you.

But, make no mistake about it, no Russian will ever tell an outsider what they truly believe and feel.

In this example, in the video, you have an old Russian parroting the government lie that the US started it. She may or may not believe it, but she'll never tell an outsider what she truly believes. In telling the big lie, she protects herself from the government and she protects her own dignity by not owning up to a shameful truth.

This is what it means to be Russian.

He suggest that today Russian ain't fighting against western gear and they know it and when they say they do they are lying.

This Redditor is genius.

Back then I wrote that with time more Russian will get pissed and khohols with passing time. Because despite Redditors are mostly educated in sociology bs they don't know sociology and looking at it from their perspective and that error N1 in sociology.

Redditors expected all the hate that came from Ukraine and west would be accepted by regular Russian. That calling them orcs and making fun of their dead bodies will be rewarded. It took khohols 2 years to realised it was very low iq move and recently they banned use of dehumanising Russian and you can get jailed for it.

Yeah, nice city but wasn't it your turn to show all the great cities Ukraine captured ? With 600 billion aid from the west ?

You can even use this Wikipedia

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_military_engagements_during_the_Russian_invasion_of_Ukraine

That shows all the battles and some copes as failed raids as "inconclusive"
