I like Putin for sticking it to the globalist kikes every once in a while, but fuck him in this case.

Libertarianism is the only way to stick it to them, Russia is the opposite of that, it's a totalitarian hellhole

It's not, you fucking imbecile. America being libertarian from the 40's to the 80's is why you fell prey to communism so easily. People are retarded and giving them more freedom than they deserve leads to pretty much everything happening in your country.

Does Soros interfere with anyone else's rights? No, people just hate him because he's successful.

Atheism doesnt exist. It just doesnt. The human mind is too fascinated and driven by something...something greater than it actually percieves itself to be. Therefore any good russian believes russia is much greater than they are as an individual. Therefore any good russian patriot would see russia as a divinity. Atheist believes in nothing and by classical standards they are the extreme nihilists. As for the orthodox church it is a very beautiful heritage of russia and has been for over a thousand years. But now whoever says a state that is atheist is the freest, and should be free of persecution because of this fact is a person with no sound moral judgment. The soviets were atheists. And they were thought of as being evil because of it. Goodness there is no centric point of view when it comes to russia. Its either one or the ither extreme.

Actually ask yourself why do you hate him? Beyond memes on /pol/ propagated by Russian shills. Actually have a GOOD answer

Now as for scientology. It has nothing to do with science but the fact that it was started by a us military official. Who nowadays is unrecognized as such by whatever reason. Raises a red flag, no? The u.s excuse is that the founder believed he could over throw the gov't. And was a cold ardent racist. When a good part of russians have a little mongol in them. Whether they like to admit it or not. Thats a personal preference.

Most Russians are not true orthodox Christians. Its has multiple faiths. Russia is only countering the West. It's similar to the Soviet Union but different. Russia is all about God, Nationalism, and believing in virtue.
West is about progress, godlessness, diversity.
It will be a great race to the bottom.
LMFAO

He sponsors most SJW politicians because they can give him business and he is a man that literally fucked up UK to gain few billions.
The fact that Russia is strategic competitor to US and EU, doesn't mean that Soros is friendly to western countries. He has his own agenda and that matches Putin. To destroy west.

Can priests get married in Eastern Orthodox?
Seems strange to me since I thought only old people went to church and that the average Russian doesn't think much of it.

>someone trained to keep the retarded masses under control is branching out in methods of doing so
>cognitive dissonance
Nah, you're just not seeing the full picture.
>>67188644
Yes but I think Catholics are fine with that since they let Eastern Catholics do it
>>67188837
Nah I know the Russian have a need for a "Benevolent Tzar" and can't go a month without enacting a dictatorship
It's still funny that somebody who undoubtedly arrested people for going to church is now pretending to be a believer
