Andrei didn't do anything wrong in Taras Bulba. Love for a beautiful woman, as a phenomenon, is more valuable than love for anyone else.
The main plot of a lot of works: to swarm a crowd of brilliant individuals. Akatsuki from Naruto is the most striking example. Aside from the devils ex machina in the form of Kaguya and Madara, who truly offered some crappy future scenarios, Akatsuki was a force for good. Naruto's most vile man is Itachi. Not only did he kill the entire clan, but he didn't even spare his beloved. And yet he's presented as a hero. Also, one of the Uchiha should have become Hokage, but the scoundrel Senju held on to power and raised the genocidal bastard Itachi.
Harry Potter's only kind blonde, Luna Lovegood, is the fandom's best girl. The pairing Luna and the repentant Voldie is one of the best.
Fanfiction is better than the originals. Firstly, there's so much more content. Secondly, custom settings like who dates whom, who won, how magic works, and how people reason—you can tailor everything to your needs. Thirdly, this all makes the universe "playable," not just a static canon where Harry never kills that bastard Dumbledore, never marries Fleur, and so on.
Women from Western Europe are much more beautiful than Russian women.
In World War I, Asia conquered Europe. Since then, the space for human freedom has shrunk to the shackles of a penal servitude. In Europe itself, the shackles are soft and barely press, but it's a dreary slavery.
No technology justifies the existence of prisons for the purpose of teaching knowledge.
No movies have taught people anything. Everyone's seen Terminator. ChatGPT—zero reaction.
Almost all economic relations are a scam. A market economy is the only way to somehow reduce the scale of deception.
European culture is undervalued and underrepresented in the rest of the world.
Those who have forgotten COVID have no right to talk about freedom.
Russian classics have been transformed into a monstrous Soviet cult and misrepresented in modern times. Bulgakov is a Satanist. Reading Dostoevsky is self-abuse. The only witty writer without any particularly vile elements is Chekhov.
Almost everything best on the internet was created before 2020.
