I researched a bit and can't find an original source from any Russian company or state department so probably just from nationalists or a meme video? Who knows

Extremely racist.

It's probably because he's really reactionary in some ways like his really brutal anti-drug laws and punishments

But everybody understands how economically exploited countries like Iran, Syria, or Iraq (who never get shit on) can't be expected to be more socially progressive than developed countries

Weird how some people will single out Russia and Duterte for some reason

 
  1. Many libertarians have the same opinions as us on non-economic foreign policies of the West (seeing through "human rights" claims as hypocrisy to justify war that is waged for resources and geographical control, what coups/assassinations/terrorists are ClA ops, etc.) because these are all state activities and they are anti-state, at least in the current form in the West

  2. Blumenthal's opinions on the situation of vaccines in USA is very libertarian

  3. Clearly not a communist given he has never spoken positively about any AES and never explicitly supported enemies of the West

Yea idk that's all I got lol

Kim invited Red Velvet to perform because he's a huge fan

Thanks for saying this, I totally agree though it's a bit harder for me to have such a strong stance on the topic because I don't research China nor do I live there so my knowledge is just from visiting there often the past few decades

Can I ask what you see that's over-glorifying or over-idealising?

For me, I see people way overestimating the quality of life in China overall, underestimating how poor the rural regions are, and underestimate how good the West has it in many areas (work/career life for highly educated/skilled workers, cost/availability of many goods and services, etc.)
