does Russia even have anything to offer the world beyond lovely vodka and depressing literature? I feel like they should be opposed on general principle until they create less depressing and oppressive national ethos

“You’re American, right?” she asked.

“Canadian, eh?”

“When he was a boy, my grandfather lived in Stockholm. He and his family were there when the Muslims declared the city theirs. They were poor, and didn’t have the money to pay the non-believer tax and wouldn’t convert to Islam, so the Muslims enslaved them all. They murdered my great-grandfather. My great-grandmother didn’t last much longer.

“He was in rags, starving, when the crusade came. He told me stories about the American soldiers, how they looked like knights in their body armor and the red Templar cross on their shoulder. They killed the Islamists, sent the rest of them back to their sand dunes in the Middle East. They saved him, fed him and showed him what strength really is. And they were all volunteers, every last one of them.

“No one had to order an American to save the oppressed. It’s part of their nature to see others live free, even at the sacrifice of their own lives. Once the Germans finally followed the Americans’ lead, and the rest of Europe got its act together, we had the Atlantic Union. Separate nations and peoples who would fight for each other. The Chinese didn’t go to war to save Mongolia when the Russians conquered it.”

“Huh,” Standish said. “I never thought about it that way. Save those who’ll sacrifice for the whole.”

Why do people keep bringing up the concession speech? Who the gently caress cares about it? Hell, if I were her I still wouldn't have conceded. Go down in flames, it's the only thing that gets a rise out of anyone. Lose all dignity and self-respect and embrace Trumpism.

It's funny that they are currenlty culturally stuck in about 900 AD but possess modern technology. I suppose there is some sociology we could learn from that.

Or lying about your deals with Cuba to Cuban Americans a week after said deals.

It was a significant failure. Not as significant as losing to Trump, but it was the cherry on top of the sundae. She could have come out, comforted her people, given them hope for the future. Instead she remained the closed-off caricature of a person she'd been the entire campaign. Shedding tears with her followers might have done them some good, and certainly no harm.

I hope some reporter goes back there in 3 years and asks when Trump made the factories open back up, kicked out the illegals, and made all their dreams come true

Just hours upon hours of knocking on doors in the rust belt and asking people:

"Did Trump bring your non-union job back, like he promised he would? No? What do you think about the fact that he gutted your Social Security? Why do you think he didn't Build The Wall? Why do you think he appointed a shitload of Wall Street billionaires to his cabinet? Do you think you're better off now than you were when you voted for Trump? How's your experience shopping for private health insurance now that Paul Ryan privatized Medicare and you only get a voucher that covers a fraction of your premium?"

aNYWAY,
tHAT'S REALLY ALL THERE IS,
tO REPORT ON THE SUBJECT,
oF ME GETTING HURT,



Man, must be fun being a sci-fi author. Just take one paragraph or two outta your rambling dimestore paperback to say "btw I was proved right as gently caress and all the countries I hate got poo poo on".

Trump's just about the first case where I can believe that yeah, people in the distant space future would still be talking about him. Like "How did we even survive long enough to make it to space when that guy was President once?" Either that or we'll just end up actually living in a post-apocalypse and all our fiction will be alternate universes where we still have things like jobs and cars and non-irradiated-water.

oh yeah Trump and his merry band of globalist billionaires are going to absolutely skullfuck the people who voted for them

I'd say I look forward to the meltdowns but last time I confessed to laughing out loud when some rural Kentuckian who was so proud that he voted away evil gubbment healthcare by voting for Bevin had a slow realization on air that he was literally going to loving die now, a slow and horrible death that he himself voted for I had a bunch of people jump down my throat so ya

Orwell is massively overrated and 1984 is goddamned near unreadable

Literally the only superior export the Russians possess is dystopian literature of all genres. All the ones we had to read in the Anglosphere were just lovely knockoffs of Russian ones who have had the USA 2016 despairing mindset for like 600 years

Their two best leaders in their entire history were only considered good at all because they realized Russia was horrifying and tried to westernize. So no.
