\"Hate your government! Love your country!\"

This was the message I saw recently, being shared by some russian retard. It reminded me of a conversation I had with a Chinese person many years ago. Simplified and condensed, it went something like this:

\"What is your opinion of the CCP?\"

\"Argh, I hate them and their stupid propaganda!\"

\"And what is your opinion of Taiwan?\"

\"Taiwan bad! It should be under the Chinese rule!\"

They didn't mention any particular propaganda narrative which they disagreed with. And I wondered, what was the point of their hatred toward the ruling party if their views were perfectly aligned? And I wondered, could this be a deliberate strategy of thought control\u2014to direct the rebellious nature of the young people at something irrelevant, so that it makes no difference? Think about it: no one really cares if you hate your management as long as you do whatever is required of you.

\"CCP bad! But why of course I enlisted for the invasion of Taiwan. That's good and necessary. CCP bad! But why of course I sealed my neighbors' doors during Covid. That's good and necessary. CCP bad! But why of course we must raid wealthy businessmen who are declared traitors of communism. That's good and necessary. CCP bad! But why of course I viciously attack Western disinformation about human rights violations and animal abuse inside China. That's good and necessary.\"

Moscow probably lags behind China when it comes to thought control. They don't need to overthink it. Their populace is docile enough. I don't think there's any chance russian elites deliberately direct the rebellious urges of their retarded population at Putin and whatnot. Yet the Putin-haters and the \"hate your government but love your country\" sentiment might be rather useful for preserving the status quo. Not only are these people allowed to vent at something irrelevant, they feel fulfilled as soon as a single talking head changes its appearance, while everything else remains the same.

Why would anyone with a half-functioning brain love so-called russia? Would they really love its toxic braindead population or its abominable police, army, courts, TV programs, healthcare, education, international relations? What is there to love? People are shit, culture, in the broadest sense of the word, is shit, cities are hideous, people are hideous both outside and inside their mind. The only tolerable things like the trees, mountains, oceans, or skies have nothing to do with the statehood whatsoever.

But if you do love your shithole of a country so much, what's the point of your hatred toward its management, who are disproportionally responsible for everything in it?

Cut the bullcrap and give them some credit then.

\"Hate your government! Love your country!\" is a nonsensical and harmful message in almost every situation. It was presented as some kind of fundamental truth applicable everywhere, but it's a malignant installation. If a country is good, then there's rarely a reason for blind hatred toward its management. The government of a good country should be supported since it obviously does a good job. But if a country is shit, then messages like this nudge its retarded citizens toward preserving it, so that it brings as much harm to the world as possible before its final collapse.<\/pre>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
