Quality Contributions Report for October 2022

Y'all must be trying to kill me. The sheer volume of quality contribution reports, combined with the outrageous volume of text you maniacs generate every week, made this an astonishing month to be sorting through the hopper. By far the busiest month for AAQCs since I took over the task. This made winnowing them down especially challenging, and some very good posts simply didn't make the cut simply because the competition was so fierce.

Good job, everyone.

This is the Quality Contributions Roundup. It showcases interesting and well-written comments and posts from the period covered. If you want to get an idea of what this community is about or how we want you to participate, look no further (except the rules maybe--those might be important too).

As a reminder, you can nominate Quality Contributions by hitting the report button and selecting the "Actually A Quality Contribution!" option. Additionally, links to all of the roundups can be found in the wiki of /r/theThread which can be found here. For a list of other great community content, see here.

These are mostly chronologically ordered, but I have in some cases tried to cluster comments by topic so if there is something you are looking for (or trying to avoid), this might be helpful. Here we go:

Russia’s proximity to Germany is a geopolitical risk for American hegemony, but also, identity politics increased post-2008, and see Raskin’s recent statement for all the regressive sins Russia is guilty of. Russia is white and Christian, which makes them an easy target for those whose ideology is essentially against white Christian organization

Russia is white and Christian

I wish.

Russia is white and Christian

I wish.

Why?

Christian world (Latin America and Africa) has no interest in white supremacy, while White world has no interest in Christianity (and is not keen on white supremacy either).

Explicitly "White Christian" country would be more isolated and treated worse than North Corea.

Not the best way to make Russia great again.

There was one poll (I can't give link now) which tells that nearly half of Russian self-identified Orthodox do not believe in God. "Orthodox Christian" is just a tribal trait for them

Russia will be more isolated and treated worse than «North Corea» anyway, but at least Koreans have their Juche bullshit to explain what they're accepting this sacrifice and antagonizing the planet for. So would have the White&Christian Russia. Likewise for some other antagonist races of history who after their demise become fuel for fetishistic fantasies.

What about the real Russia? Духовность? Антифашизм? So profoundly phony.

Well, it is, at least as much as Germany, France, the UK and Sweden are.

Is it? If it's only as much as Germany, France and so on, then why is Raskin singling us out on the account of whiteness?

I disagree. Russia isn't ideologically white or Christian, which is what seems to be alleged here. There are more divorces and abortions and fewer Church visits in Russia than in those countries, and as for whiteness, well, we stand with the people of Zimbabwe in their anti-colonial struggle. Raskin can rest easy.

Is France ideologically White or Christian? They avoid the whole topic of ethnic background like plague and religion is something adult people do behind closed doors with mutual consent.

Is France ideologically White or Christian?

No one is anymore.

Only ideologically religious countries left are Muslim countries and last country officially based on racial supremacy was South Africa (Israel, despite everything, allows conversion to Judaism, no such thing as conversion to Whiteness was possible in old time SA).

Don't we all

Sure, but the same is true of Hungary, and it's almost true of Brazil, the Philippines, and probably several other countries I'm forgetting.

The same is true of Hungary, which is why there has been anti-Hungarian sentiment since Orban. It is only true for half of Brazil, hence the anti-Bolsonaro stuff. It is not true of the Philippines

It's not true at all? I agree other countries are not a perfect substitute, but if you have to have an enemy then presumably it doesn't need to be a perfect fit.
