Seems the Dutch think they are stepping it up.


Russia is a nation of monumental evil and murder. Its entire history is based on the type of behavior we see today. For some reason, it could never embrace Western values, but embraced and kept its 13th-15th century Mogol roots and culture.

What are 'Western values' exactly? Cowboys & Gold Rush in the 'Wild West'?

Could they have been enabled by the Mongols? Let's see:

Every house is glass and every comment is stone.

Enlightenment values.

After the european dark ages? For whichever reason, aftershocks of dissolved roman empire, volcanic winter, misharvests, bubonic plague, all of it? Which didn't happen at that magnitude elsewhere, at the time.

I feel so enlightened by what the unholy Chyrrch did to Baruch Spinoza, Giordano Bruno, and countless others.

Burning witches at the stake must have felt so good and warm in the cold of the marketplaces of stinking towns.

Fkn horror clowns!
