Anatoly Karlin has some powerful takes…

Anatoly Karlin has been on some massive cope ever since the Special Military Operation in Ukraine, known in other circles as Russo-Ukrainian war began. His takes were getting ever more weirder and weirder.

He wrote several essays recently that reveal his depression. (Read this if you wanna waste an hour of your life) And his idea basically amounts to this. Russia fucked up, it will never become a civilization in its own right that would rival the West. It’s over! And if you cannot beat the West, you might as well join it. And for that purpose, Russia should embrace the LGBT and sissyfication, and organize the largest gay pride parade in Moscow.

And then apparently, the West will somehow accept Russia or rather what remains of it, a merchant republic of gayness centered on Novgorod. I agree with Karlin that Russia has a lot of problems, and is perhaps one administrative decision away from holding a pride parade. However, nobody cares.

The West doesn’t give a fuck if Russia is Tsarist, Liberal, Communist, Magically Putinist, or Homosexually Futuristic. The West has one single programme for Russia that barely changed since the Middle Ages.

Russia, or its successor states should adopt Western system of values and subordinate itself to the international Western network of states, which is what Karlin wants. But in that system Russia is a colony (this concerns other countries like the Baltics, Ukraine, or Georgia, but also Poland, and the Czech Republic). And that means no Singapore centered on Novgorod but rather a resource appendage. The Western countries will not allow the Eastern countries to ever rise to their level. You will be lucky if you will make screws for Western made machines that will be resold to you.
