Why many Americans and Western Europeans hate Russia?

[Jägerstaffel]

Our shitty media has convinced people that Russia = bad.

That's really all there is to it.

I dont know about western Europe but Im pretty sure most Americans don't even know anything about Russia at all.

I think most Americans know just enough to make an ill-informed comment or two on the subject.

That being said - we are a country full of highly intelligent and overly educated people who know absolutely nothing or have been trained to follow complete and utter bullshit.

-On the one hand, many right-wingers in the West want to recreate the Cold War by having an external enemy against whom we can all unite and rally round. This means that they get to be seen as "heroic", "defenders of the West" and "champions of democracy and liberty".

-On the other hand, many left-wingers in the West despise Russia for its social conservatism. (Or rather, because it is White and socially conservative - such types often have little to say about e.g. Nigeria or Pakistan).

But many White Nationalists also believe that jews are working to subvert Europe and America, and also want an ethnostate Germany was a anti-semitic ethnostate where your family needs a aryan certificate and race mixing was outlawed. So naturally they think highly of Hitler and I doubt they care he was a massmurdere many White Nationalists are massmurderes themselfes or would if they could and had the balls. Breivik, NZ shooter, Synagogue Shooter etc.

White Nationalists are definitely not mass murderers, i dont’t know what you’re on about

Some White nationalists are though. Not all of them. Or even majority.

Statistically it’s a minority. There’s other kinds of violence that are much more common worldwide.

I read that domestic terrorists killed more people on USA soil then islamic terrorists in the past 10 years eventhough world wide it would look different.

Obviously, there’s like 200 times more white people than muslims in America, that doesn’t mean anything. Muslims commit 25% of these terror attacks and are 0.8 percent of the popultion.You should be worried more about black people commiting 52% of murders.

They know what they've seen in Red Dawn, White Nights and Rocky IV and still you'll find some people married to the Cold War, that's when things seemed to make more sense to them. As a whole though Americans are often overworked or heavily distracted to ponder much of the idiocy that comes out of their TV sets when our hunk of shit mainsteam news media just has their pundits running their mouths about Russia or any other subject; some internalise it, some wave it off, others are sick of it.
