I'll try to keep my answer a bit brief because I could really write for days on this topic.

As you mentioned, a lot of the things that made Russia really novel to me are changing really quickly nowadays. Women are becoming more kentish, entitled, slootish, and unpleasant, but the culture isn't really rejecting it

Russia is a post-feminist society remember. USSR was all about social justice, all these retarded quotas SJWs want-- the USSR had them: women and minorities got preferential treatment over Russians, for example. It absolutely buttphucked their economic innovation as I'm sure it will do in America, but the point is that all this chit isn't even happening under the banner of feminism (which is still pretty unpopular here), it's happening organically because these young women are exposed to American slootism via the internet.

The other main thing this is that, no-- 'patriotism' is a complete LARP here. Russians dgaf about politics and that actually has really toxic effects on the society at large. For the most part Russians just tune out of politics at every level, so the end result is that the government is run like the government is run in Russia, and it's unlikely that that is ever going to change.

Americans are retards about politics as well, but at least Americans have an opinion about everything-- even if it's stupid. With the exception of a few hot button items, most Russians have 0 political stances because they are just so apathetic.

tried to rep mayne but apparently ive repped you too much.

seems you have a heavy disdain for feminism. and like it's not recent either

I mean, the short answer is of course yes.

Modern feminism is no longer about 'women' though. Feminism, trans*******ry, global homo, all of it is just being used as the battering ram to usher in a new SJW society.

Which I don't say in some conspiratorial way either, the idea that "cisgenered-heteronormative patriarchy capitalism" MUST be defeated is a central tenant to literally all of these ideologies in their current incarnations. Do people really not have a problem with that being done in whatever their victim group's name is?

With legacy Marxism, you belong to your class and nothing else. As a socially mobile capitalist nation, America was immune to the first wave of Marxism that swept through the European monarchies and empires. This neo-Marxism though identifies you as your victim group and nothing else, and those traits are usually something like your gender or race-- i.e. they're are far more immutable and permanent.

Feminism has betrayed women by making them believe that all of history is men v. women and men have cucked themselves into letting that narrative dictate how they will reshape once great societies. Russian society is healthier in some ways, because men here reject that narrative-- but it's changing fast. Young men are soy as phuck and their uppity sloot gfs with septum rings are berating them for being men.

фэтшейминг (lit. pronounced fat-shaming) is a thing here already. I almost bought a plane ticket the first time I heard it on the street.

Any Roman history miscers will be familiar with a book called the Satyricon. It tells the tale of a young man and his on-and-off homosex lover as they travel around the empire and encounter trans*******ry, women in the halls of power, sexualization of children, cannibalism-- basically the degeneration of society at every single avenue.

It's one of the very, very few books that exist to this day that was written by a plebian and it's considered to give some of the most profound insight to how life was lived for the average Roman and it was written about 150-200 years before Rome collapsed. To me, that is not a coincidence.

Is it easy to speak the language as a noob?

How easy is it to get your hands on an ak 47?

Does the vodka flow like water there?

Do the women there tend to stick with the local men there ? How much of a percentage of these women are gold diggers?

What's the difference there between average salary/month to rent/month?

How are real estate prices and brand new car prices?

Is prostitution rampant there?

Thanks brah!

1. My Russian is fluent but self-taught. So I don't have any problems doing whatever I need to do, but I make grammatical mistakes from time to time. Russians tend to be impressed with my abilities (I bought a self-learner course and did that, and then just did self-study once I was here).
2. I work in IT. The visa chit is a complete nightmare. Happy to PM about that if you're interested, but it's easily been the most challenging aspect.
3. I'm planning on doing a video about the lower middle class commie blocks. lol people always want to know about those. I'll say this, they look ghetto as phuck, but they are usually pretty normal, and the inside of the buildings are far more habitable than the outside appears.

Might watch now. Been busy making my fire tiktok vids and waiting on my bb dot com award

No, the language is extremely difficult. It is extremely rewarding to learn it though. I never thought of myself as a languages person, I got a B in high-school French and a 3.3 in university French, but I can barely speak it today.

Russians either drink a lot or not at all, I've seemed to notice.

Women will sloot for tourists pretty easily. Whether they prefer foreigners or not is kind of case-by-case I imagine. Being American is certainly not a disadvantage though. Gold diggers are common, but I am not rich enough or old enough to be dug for gold.

Financial stuff is about what you would expect-- the country is significantly poorer than America. Prices reflect that. Consumer goods like cars, laptops, smartphones, etc. cost relatively more here than in the west (same is true for gas as well actually). Quote-unquote good real estate (basically a flat in the center, in a well-maintained, imperial-era building) is gonna cost you about a half million bucks, it's a complete steal imho.

Whoremaxxing is common here, yes.С новом годом братан.

Good Vid Tom mate - love da Vid mate!!

I have seen this or a similar "Motorway Vid" elsewhere Tom .... it's amazing!!

I say it too flippantly in the video but the point I was trying to make is that seeing these places just made me realize that no matter how much I tried to tell myself I was living in a completely different place with completely different mores, at the end of the day humans are all driven and animated by the same underlying urges and those urges manifest themselves in almost exactly the same ways.

Zoomers what to look cool and consoomers want to look rich.

So any place in the world is going to have the 'hipster book store' or 'gaudy mall,' maybe it will be something else, but it will serve the same purpose-- which is to remind you that the truly final black pill is exactly what you say: pick a LARP and do it phucking well.

What about the ak's brah

Vladimir Putin must be overthrown.

LOL OP gonna get arrested now.

Very clean city and seems like a good society with everyone moving with purpose. Tired of cities here in the US where you have bums and other degenerates everywhere trying to run a hustle.

Yes bro, exactly.

The last time I was in the states, I was in SF mostly.

I was literally blown away at how much homelessness and/or blatant degeneracy occurs in public.

Absolutely cuckening.

It's reasonably difficult. I won't lie. (not sure where you are from)

I had the advantage of being American. We can do a three year tourist visa.

Most companies will look the other way for that one.

From the EU it is harder I imagine, srs.

The standards have fallen no doubt.

High heels were ubiquitous when I first came here. The metro was full of sloots in them.

Now, most dudes are anti-high heels because it is 'try hard.'

JFL.

Tom how is your russian?

It's good mane.

Russia is one of those countries that without language knowledge you're phucked srs.

You can teach English w/o knowing Russian though.

I've become increasingly interested in Russia for a number of years now, and when I take a break from careermaxxing I'd like to learn Russian. Business in Asia is going to be inevitable, I know who's side I'm taking.

Good video

Less Hbbs than I was expecting, obviously some of that is down to the weather, but there was a lot of ugly baggy jeans, and other chitty masculine clothing worn. I guess proves your point about the tour coming to an end.

Thanks brah, yeah I've noticed this too-- Russian sloots are into weird fashion right now.

They are all wearing big baggy jeans and these retarded puffy looking shoes.

I think it's like an azn style thing that they are ripping off, because those like over the top anime girl make up eyes are big here among zoomers as well. K pop fangirls are a thing here too now JFL.

Usually wintertime is the ultimate Russian sloot trial by fire because they can literally only rely on face game to attract men.

Suffice to say that the tour, for many, never even begins.
