and that is, imo, it's important to understand the underlying mechanics of how the world around us operates, whether it's natural phenomena or human activity. in the end, it all leads to higher survivability of one's lineage, or, in other words, closer proximity to achieving one's purpose, regardless of what ideas we may have about the nature of this world, be it a simulation of God's creation or random ass nonsensical chemical reaction.

>a whole system of world view
That's a different issue entirely, as you note already, it is rooted in linguistics. По-рюсски могете? Сундакова смотрите/слушаете? Not that he's the final authority on any anthropological matter but he's got some valid insights into why things the way they are, especially if considered with a slew of other shit in that field.

Yes and no. Soviets, and Russians in general, were much subtler, imo. Are you familiar with the works of Bernays and Lippmann? That's where it all stems from. I can't say if the Soviets inherited any of it, if so, externally they applied it very gently, imo. Internally is a whole natha story, besides, there's Lenin's methodology, iirc...

And then of course the western, especially American, egocentric view of the world, aka western liberalism. And you are absolutely right to point out the origins of the "lost in translation".

Most westoids are utterly ignorant and unreceptive to pre-2022 history of okraina. On top of that, no matter how much you try to teach them that «русский» and «россиянин» are two very different words meaning different things, they can't seem to grok it, individually or collectively.
Kudos for trying though.
