Reminds me of the latest Adam Something video. Russians are raised from birth with ridiculous amounts of "Russia Fuck Yeah" that's just pure triple distilled victory porn, and posts like that are the consequence.
-
You should check out some American movies. Those are also pretty wild
-
My favourite line from any of the Grand Theft Auto games is from a radio ad for some movie that ends with "Rated PG for Patriotic Garbage"
-
Exploder! Vice City radios were the best.

Hello, DoubleCleff FM is calling:
A little opera, just for-a change-a in American with an Italian accent

As an American, American jingoism in films does make me laugh. Like we are the only ones who can save the world.
Does Russia have films like that?
-
Well, there's books like that. The idea seems to be that the problem with Nazis wasn't the whole genocide thing, but rather the fact that they invaded Russia. So let's do this: go back in time with modern equipment, ally with Hitler, and march on London and bomb Washington.

Start from American movies, then add a bunch of historical rewriting and fighting Nazis everywhere and you're getting close to Russian level movies from what I've heard.
-
Like that the US basically saved Europe and singlehandedly beat the Nazis?
-
Just watch T-34. It's pure Russia propaganda. That being said, it was a fun movie

As a non-American, how is that any different from America?
Many big countries are basically the same, with the belief that their armed forces are "the best", with hours of pop propaganda around how their marines or special ops are the best in the world.
-
Well as s non american I feel it's quite simple : the USA has an incredible potent war machine, so if their citizens think they have an incredible army, then they are more or less quite correct.
Russians on the other hand just smokes copium and have fever dreams.
-
It's true for military stuff but false for many many things that they'd still insist is the best way to handle things. Mass shootings is an anomaly that's completely normalized there, sometimes it's not even worth a media footnote.
And there's a strange thing about shooting presidents every once in a while
-
Continue to smoke your copium.
-
What about that is copium, mass shootings, having a wide spread poverty and political violence isnt a good thing and should be talked about and fixed

You're not wrong. Americans have a lot of "America fuck yeah!" energy going on, the difference really would be that when we break from that mentality and start going "what the fuck America?" we don't get arrested and put in jail or forcibly conscripted into a war we didn't ask for.
-
From what I can tell, America has better access to alternative viewpoints and the ability to express them largely without fear.
-
Defenetly not germany. Last few times they were like that, the world stamped it out.
-
Yeah, when germans are proud about their army it's if a tank can be loaded on a semi using it's own engine power.

Or Chinese, or Americans..
-
To be fair, the same dan be said for Americans.
