I know a lot of epic Russians in my area. I'm not Russian and I live in the USA, but fuck it makes me want to be Russian.
Besides spending more time with them, how can I "Russian" myself?
What elements of lifestyle and culture can I take on to help?
>>37811249
You can't, what the fuck does that even mean
>>37811249
>vodka
>slavic squats
>communism
Keep talking about how Russia is greatest country ever and Putin a benevolent ruler.
Claim that USA is behind ISIS, war in Ukraine and everything else wrong with this world.
Watch Russia Today, because it's the only reliable news source available in the West.
That's basically it, if you want to go deeper you'll have to move there.

>>communism
Russia is more fiercely capitalism than the US presently is.

A lot of the Russians I know work really hard like it's no big deal. They have all kinds of cultural customs that seem to enrich their lives that we Americans don't have. A lot of them are really strong.
For example, one Russian friend of mine came to America with $17, a suit, and one pair of casual clothes. He's a millionaire now. Another Russian friend did his Bachelor's with a double major starting when he was 14 and had 4 degrees by the time most of us graduated with our first.
It's not even just the hard work, but the attitude about it as well.
>>37811338
no such thing as hard work, only soft men
russian lifting bro said this to me and it stuck
had Russian gf, lived with her family for a couple years. learned a little Russian and lots about the culture
Russia itself sucks. it's very oppressive and often ignorant ranging from the leadership to the culture itself. they did not want us to ever visit
Eat sour cream with everything, like, everything. Salads, bagels, fish, steak, whatever
In fact, just eat everything. If I left a shred of meat on a chicken bone, her father would usually just grab it and basically eat the whole bone. dude had dad strength out of this world
they work their asses off at everything they do. little things like cleaning and organizing, car maintenance, packing for trips, they always did it the way they felt was optimal and never cut corners
made their own vodka, ate whole watermelons the way fatties eat chips
they were also pretty damn racist

>A lot of the Russians I know work really hard like it's no big deal
Because it's normal to work 12-14 hours a day in a factory there then come home and drink and go to sleep until next day.
>A lot of them are really strong.
No, there really aren't. Yeah there's a lot of great athletes and minds but that's far from the average russian in any way.
Most are skinny fat and alcoholic. Russian has the 2nd highest opiate usage rate IN THE WORLD, besides Afghanistan which happens to produce over 90% of the World's supply
Among highest alcoholism rates in the world
Very high murder rates and violence
One of the highest abortion rates in the world (so much for "muh conservative savior of da white race")
>He's a millionaire now. Another Russian friend did his Bachelor's with a double major starting when he was 14 and had 4 degrees by the time most of us graduated with our first.
That has nothing to do with him being Russian. That has to do with him being hardworking and pushing through. People of all races do that including niggers born in a country where the GDP per capita is like $1000.

That's fucking great. That's the sort of attitude I'm talking about.
It's beyond an attitude actually, it's a worldview that I want to understand and acquire.
>>37811380
Also prime example, thanks anon
>>37811381
Fair points. I'm talking mainly about the Russians I know personally who have come to the US. Russian immigrants might be a more accurate category, but really it's specifically just the ones I know and how they seem to exhibit a worldview that I'm sure assists them in crushing life like the pussy it is.
>>37811505
That has nothing to do with being Russian though is what I'm saying.
You make it seem like they have some sort of special culture that yields success stories more than other ones which isn't true

Shit that ignorant fucks spew online, damn. I think you just mixed your memes man, that one is about china.

They aren't Russian, they're what Americans are supposed to be and what made your country great. The work in west isn't considered hard by most ex-soviets. I went to work in a factory right out of high school to try and earn money for uni.
>12 hour shifts
>nobody cares if you're ill, unless you're dying you have to work
>2-3 breaks
>very rarely the breaks were longer than 10-15 mins
>all that for ~€400 a month, without overtimes.
Then I decided to hop on the plane to UK and earn my money there. At first it was agency work.
>12h shifts
>can take howevermany sick days you need
>at least 3 breaks
>30 min each
>£5.98 an hour
Then I got a contract with the company itself.
>12h shifts
>had a number of paid sick days you could take
>at least 3 breaks
>30 min each
>£12.12 an hour
Russia is even worse than that. It's a literal shithole famalam and those people have escaped it to become Americans.

Go ask russians how much is normal to work on /int/. The average salary per month in Russia is literally $500/mo

This also mirrors something a friend of mine, who's a well-known Russian concert pianist, said: "There are no bad pianos, only bad pianists."

Not sure if serious.

I should embrace it and fuck the haters but I really, really dont like Russia. Accepting myself as that scum is hard.

Watch crazy russian hacker videos on youtube.
Start with the wd40 life hacks. Then move on to spoon hacks. Then watch the hotdog one and maybe the cherry gadgets one.
It will either show you how to be a russian, or make you glad you never are one.
