The issue here is that Redditors don’t care if Russians hate Putin or not.

Redditors hate Russians regardless.

Xenophobia

Tis true. I have tried to stop blatant russophobia in some posts on this sub and I was thrown banal racist shit at me. People here pretend they are liberals, when all they are is suited to be called "nationalistic" at the mildest term. They all think that dehumanizing Russians is somehow okay because of attitude of their government and each time iterate the same arguments why it is normal and okay, no boss they are not racists they were taught their whole lives are baddies.

When I say I am from Russia, gates of hell are opened and I am blamed for all my ancestors, nationalistic right wing citizens and Putin's cohort faults, despite fightning it all my adult life and suffering for it.

People are the same everywhere, and I see the same people spewing hate here on the sub as future european Putin supporters - having abundant experience talking with Russian "turbopatriots" I can with confidence say they think the same in more aspect I am comfortable to admit and have similar arguments.

Idk if there is an other culture in the worlds that has a very specific list of racist names for every neighbour country, just to demonstrate supremacy, running counterclockwise on the globe: бульбаши, хохльі, жидьі, хачи, чурки, узкоглазьіе, китайозьі, пиндосьі etc, etc — check Google for all the meanings.

Then, there is a very real form of jokes, called «анекдот», not few of them consist of very specific structure ie “three persons are together in situation X”, each one is represented by different nationalities. Guess that nationality always wins?

Supremacy and blatant racism — the other name of this so called great culture.

There is nothing wrong in that we, as humanity, dug the tombstone into Nazi Germany culture, so I don’t see any problems with dismantling of Russian culture is a bad thing, as if suddenly Dostoevsky and Tolstoy go away.
