It is indeed a fascinating aspect of our interactions with our westoid counterparts that they firmly believe in the righteousness of their ideological views regarding Ukraine, Crimea, and the Russian people.
Their conviction that we secretly share their beliefs, but choose to act against them out of malevolence, speaks to a fundamental misunderstanding of our position.
This phenomenon is emblematic of the liberal worldview, which often seeks to deny the existence of objective enmity and political decision-making. By framing their actions as guided by universal moral principles, the West effectively delegitimize any opposition as criminal behavior.
This tendency to view themselves as the embodiment of humanity, with their adversaries positioned outside of it, is a hallmark of the totalitarian potential inherent in liberalism.
It is this refusal to acknowledge the political nature of their stance that leads to the perplexing justifications they offer for their positions.
