I continue to be fascinated by how similar the USA and Russia are. The ravings of the pseudo-religious nationalism you outline in your article are no different from similar pseudo-religious nationalistic ranting babbled by empty-heads in the USA. The rejection of liberal humanism is just as strong in the USA as in Russia. Basically, really stupid people are everywhere, and some cultures enable them to thrive and acquire influence over those whose empty heads become petri dishes of mental infection. Proud Boys and Promise Keepers and all the other rag-tag morons-with-guns in the USA are kindred spirits to the neofascist Russian nationalists who are different from their US counterparts only in the number of guns they can possess.
