Maybe to most Conservative westerners. I’m always a little puzzled about why people around the world seem to think American = Redneck Republican. At least that’s what comes through on social media. But I guess it’s only fair, since we think French = Snotty Waiters, Australian = Crocodile Dundee, etc.
Liberal westerners are no better on this
Would it make any difference if they thought all yanks were vote genocide no matter who radlibs?
The issue is that there are also many “progressives” who are like this, ex: supporting the kidnapping of the president of Venezuela or the invasion of Iran. Just because someone might be less bigoted to queer people or immigrants it doesn’t mean they’re any less imperialist, unfortunately. And this isn’t just a problem over there of course, I know too many people from my country who side with our comprador elite rather than workers like them.
Since 1945… up to 2004 (according to the sources)
Was wondering why it looked so sparse
Not always the defining factor (see East Germany) but it definitely amplifies the existing class hatred
It was the Slavic Asiatic Hordes influence in DDR.
Mein gott, how they ruined our glorious master race
Tasmania deftly evading American targeting while the rest of Australia falls victim
Unconditional support for the Tasmanian devil independence!
Russia gets called authoritarian every day
yeah but Russians are considered Asiatic mongrels by the Europeans, they’re the orcs and aren’t really white you see
Source?
Since when is the WSJ European?
Europe is a vestigial organ of amerikkka, all their political opinions that don’t arise out of some petty medieval ethnic feud are imported directly from us. We tell them to fuck their economies by cutting Russian gas, they do it.

the whole orc narrative and Russian hordes narrative has very much been embraced by western media over the past four years https://web.archive.org/web/20260414080035/https://spectator.com/article/why-are-ukrainians-calling-russian-invaders-orcs/?edition=us

Nah, authoritarian is basically a term for any system of governance that’s different from western liberal capitalism originating in Europe. Russia has never been seen as truly European in the west, this is basically what the whole untermensch narrative nazis embraced is based on. In the Nazi racial hierarchy, being “white” or “Aryan” was not a given for all Europeans. Instead, an internal hierarchy existed where Nordic peoples were at the top, and Slavs were placed at the bottom, akin to non-European races. And these are the values Europeans very much embrace to this day.
