Russians always been atavistic, in hard time and war up to level of self sacrifice. Naturally leaders like Putin, who demands loyalty will be loved, no matter what.

“The tribal way of getting rid of sociopaths and psychopaths was that all agreed that Grog would be having a hunting accident, and sure enough he did.”

Not only “sociopaths and psychopaths” but kings too, Diving Kings from Cambodia to Africa were not allowed to die by natural death.

“Customs of the same sort appear to have prevailed in
this part of Africa down to modern times. In some
tribes of Fazoql the king had to administer justice daily
under a certain tree. If from sickness or any other cause
he was unable to discharge this duty for three whole
days, he was hanged on the tree in a noose, which
contained two razors so arranged that when the noose
was drawn tight by the weight of the king’s body they
cut his throat. ”

What’s Al-fin’s deal? He seems like he has a bit of an axe to grind, to put it mildly.

Isn’t Russian misery a constant under every economic / political system?

I watched some of this. Thanks. I had never seen Fukuyama actually speak before and had been told he was sort of a monotone mumbler. He is pretty impressive here.

Continental Europeans, especially eastern ones, should always be wary of Russia, unless they plan on becoming part of it.

At best, from my point of view, Putin is just a temporary ally.

Beggars can’t be choosers, I suppose; yet it is better to not bet on a lame horse, even if that horse was once healthy and strong. Maybe Putin’s support of the Far Right in Europe is a good thing, but we better not forget that these Rightists are just as sick with the democratic fever as anyone else.
