"In English-language scholarship, there is a consensus that Rus' people originated in what is currently coastal Middle Sweden around the eighth century. Basing themselves among Finnic peoples in the upper Volga region, they formed a dispora of traders and raiders exchanging furs and slaves for silk, silver and other commodities available to the east and south. Around the ninth century, on the river routes to the Black Sea, they had an unclear but significant role in forming the principality of Kievan Rus, gradually assimilating with local Slavic populations. They also extended their operations much further east and south, among the Turkic Bulghars and Khazars, on the routes to the Caspian Sea. By around the eleventh century, the word Rus' was increasingly associated with the principality of Kiev, and the term Varangian was becoming more common as a term for Scandinavians travelling the river-routes."

Yeah, I already brought up the Rurik thing.

This is so Oof

can't accept his country was founded by cuckoldry.

The server would never be active if we didn’t have Zexy yelling in chat all day

And I wouldn't yell all day if people didn't drop hot takes constantly.

Like that Russia isn't a cuck nation down to its foundation.

Russia has no right to Eastern Europe or other Slavic nations. They all have a right to their own sovereignty.

Russia isn’t totally cucked

It’s pretty shit though

They're not cucks compared to Western Europe

Yes

Indeed

They are not Germany

Yes

Western Europe was the least cucked place on Earth prior to liberalism.

Define liberalism

Define

Yeah

What year we talking

As in liberalism, the ideology of John Locke.

Are we talking Lockeanism or Leftism

Ohh

Locke.

The 19th century was the turning point for the West.

I would argue it was the Frankfurt school

Neo Marxism

Cultural Marxism

Get phucked liberalism helped create the British Empire

Hehe

Cultural Marxism is so misleading because the Frankfurt School is so much more heavily influenced by Hegel.

The whole idea was that the culture of nations is suppressing the revolution so they must be removed

Hence the west today

Economic liberalism is what made the British Empire great, but beliefs like the tabula rasa and multiculturalism came from Locke.

No

Multi Culturalism came from the Franks

Frankfurt school

Multiculti came from Locke?

Multiculturalism is a liberal idea.

Locke himself did not come up with it.
