Do you think Russians have a better quality of life than Germans?

Maybe you should look for other sources than random YouTube videos of people shopping in central Moscow.

And you're posting a 6+ years old news report about indoor plumbing for a country with the lowest population density (in squared kilometers) of ~8.5 compared to ~35 (US) and ~100 (all of the EU) as if it had any meaning.

Good luck, man.


Indoor plumbing doesn't have anything to do with population density. Millions of rural Americans have indoor plumbing without municipal water and sewer systems, using wells and septic tanks.

Says the guy who is "Looking at various videos of people going shopping in Russia I see lots of full cabinets"

So you'd rather read Russian propaganda?

Weird choice.


> So you'd rather read Russian propaganda?

Propaganda happens on both sides during a war. You just need to be aware of it.


These arguments always try to imply that both sides are equally bad, which is not the case (by far).

You have actually no way of knowing the truth


I do.

When I was sitting in my home in Odesa, Ukraine, on February 23rd, 2022, one side was saying that the russians were going to invade, and the other side claimed that this was Western russophobic hysteria.

Do you remember what happened next? Do you? Tell us. What happened? Was there an invasion? Was there a war? Were there drones and tanks and missiles and rapes and tortures and hundreds of thousands of people dead and cities razed and millions displaced?

Who could possible know these things!?

So in your experience there is only one or the other and there's no room for nuance and neutral assessments of both positions?

Guess who has been propagandized.


There is nuance and neutral assessments, but your comment provides absolutely none of that.

The state of Russia are very well documented you know, by countless of neutral observers. Yet you dismiss it all as "mainstream media propaganda".


Reading the nuanced and neutral assessments where what convinced me that mainstream media propaganda is an issue in the first place but I see that this isn't leading anywhere.

Good luck on your path.
