How come no one ever mentions Russophobia?

[callipygoustp]

It was not hard to understand at all. I only went into details that should not be avoided. That's also reasonable. Good luck if you think I am only going to accept one version of the story in which clearly is "russophobic".

You are taking the post way too seriously. As I mentioned previously: you really missed the overall point of the post.

[BadguyNotBadGuy]

WTF! I mentioned Hitler on page 1 god dammit all.

oh shit man, im really sorry i somehow forgot about it by page 4.

Well i feel silly now

Apology accepted. Thank you for the recognition! ;-)

Right there with you. I've been, in this thread, "silly" from the start.

Because Russophobia isn't a thing. It's either.

Reading posts from Finns or Balts proves the opposite.

[Ryme]

Because you can give an easy out like that until the media sails shift a bit more.

I don't hate russians. I dislike their leader(s).

[Mihalik]

For the last year everything Russian has been considered evil and awful. We have Russian-American Citizens in this country also, so is russophobia hate speech?.

Russian-Americans are just fine. "Russophobia" is the word Russians throw out whenever Russian politics are criticized. The problem is not with Russians, not even with Russia, but Russian politics.

The EU would love to work with a Russian premier that is actually willing to work with them instead of antagonizing them constantly, like Yeltsin.

Yeltzin was a drunk bastard who made his country poor. Him and Gorbachev are the biggest scumbags around. Clinton and his Harvard vulture capitalists should have been shot.

its well known that russians are raised to be assholes, ive yet to meet a nice russian person online.

A distinction should be made between Russophobia and Russia-phobia. It is possible to be wary of the government of Russia without animosity for Russian people.

Ah come on now the US isn't that bad.

There is no such thing as "Russophobia". But we are seeing a rise of people swallowing the Russian dong for sure. Because they think they're being contrary to what "the other side" thinks. Because politics have become a sport now. You can guarantee that if this were Hillary being accused of the same thing, the same people who are giving The trump a pass would be crying endlessly. Calling her a treasonous traitor.

But this is just where we are. There are a portion of people out there who are putting party over country. And that's a bigger threat than any foreign enemy.

Exactly, and vise versa

[SoulForge]

This topic is pointless.

Unless a Russian opened his mouth on the street to say something you'd never be able to tell. I don't know anyone who openly dislikes Russia in some form.

[Amalaric]

There is a such thing as russophobia, stop being a racist and google it.

The Russian race must be protected from extinction!

[Trassk]

I'm not russiaphobic, I love zangief, colossus and heavy, some of my fav video game and comic characters. I just dislike russias current leader, its politics, the way it controls the media treating the rest of the world as if it's stupid and can't figure out what its doing, and right now how it treats its gay citizens as second class people

[judgementofantonidas]

I wonder why no one ever mentions Koreaphobia, given how much North Korea gets criticized. We should introduce a new word! And call all South Koreans disliking the glorious leader "Koreaphobes".

with korea it is only the little fat man not the whole nation.

I have actually pointed this out many times. Everyone is all gung-ho about calling out racism/ bigotry against any culture but when it comes to Russia.......

It seems the very same people that are out there defending any race from bigotry are perfectly fine with bigotry against Russia.

You will see it in this thread. People will come out and insult you with petty insults because you are defending russia.

Here's why: they are so indoctrinated, they just parrott whatever the dems say.

I have watched a Dem senator say something in the news, only to see one hundred posters parrotting it an hour or so later in these forums. They seem to think political debate is just parrotting what a talking head said on some news show. If that talking head tells them to hate Russia, then they will.

If the dems say it is all right to be bigotted against Russia- then they will be.

Not a Trump fan, didn't vote for him, but you seriously have to see the obvious bias and blinders in your statement. The same people who would have given Hillary a pass are the same ones on the witch hunt for Trump currently. Politics is a sport, and most people are only bitter their side lost, not that Hillary and Trump essentially were the same candidate and ultimately would have been the same president. No one looks at policies anymore, just the team logo.

It goes along with the global theory on racism, only white/anglo-saxons can be racist. You can be proud to be any race as long as it isn't white. Overall, it is essentially ignorance that won't be addressed for a long time. Hell the Jewish don't even get a pass and they by far have been treated worse than any other race in history.

I think you should watch less news. Your average rank and file American has no beef with Russia, and if anything, finds them amusing in their geopolitical antics.
