Sadly read some of that exceptionally creepy Peter Todd thread.

One dude in the comments from Poland had a great point that the EU steals much more from its serfs than Russian does its serfs and in that regard Russian would be a preferable ruling class to the EU. It’s an interesting point.

In a practical way the EU, who maximizes theft from subjects and has oppressive regulations and is actively building a massive surveillance control grid, can be seen as the more bad guy and Russia the less bad. Both trash but one clearly worse than the other.

Side note: Peter Todd has terminal inoperable retardation. He really believes he is a tough and righteous individual because of his embrace of murder at scale and supposed contributions to violence. He is very clearly neither tough nor righteous, just a brainwashed pawn. Insanely delusional person.
