In April, Lavrov called out America\u2019s aggressive anti-white racism. While insisting Russians were \u201cthe pioneers of the movement for equal rights of people of any skin color,\u201d&nbsp;<\/strong><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/tass.com\/politics\/1273135\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">he stated<\/a>&nbsp;Black Lives Matter pushes \u201caggression displayed against&nbsp; white people, white US citizens.\u201d<\/strong><strong><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Lavrov also mocked the political correctness of American culture. \u201cHollywood changes its rules now, too, so that everything reflects the diversity of modern society, which is likewise a form of censorship, which stifles art and imposes various artificial restrictions and demands,\u201d he argued. I saw black people playing in Shakespeare\u2019s comedies. I don\u2019t know when we will have a white Othello. You see, that\u2019s absurdity. Political correctness pushed to such absurdity won\u2019t end well.\u201d How many western politicians would dare question blacks playing white characters?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Lavrov\u2019s purpose was to skewer the United Nations dedicating a day to acknowledging the horrible threat posed by \u201cwhite supremacy.\u201d The Russian diplomat said that the decision reflects the UN operating as the \u201cthe Organization Promoting American concepts, or American trends.\u201d<\/strong><strong><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>This position contrasts sharply with that of our own diplomats. Joe Biden\u2019s UN Ambassador, Linda Thomas-Greenfield, went&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/usun.usmission.gov\/remarks-by-ambassador-linda-thomas-greenfield-at-a-un-general-assembly-commemorative-meeting-for-intl-day-for-the-elimination-of-racial-discrimination\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">before the international body&nbsp;<\/a><a href=\"https:\/\/usun.usmission.gov\/remarks-by-ambassador-linda-thomas-greenfield-at-a-un-general-assembly-commemorative-meeting-for-intl-day-for-the-elimination-of-racial-discrimination\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"><em>twice<\/em><\/a>&nbsp;this Spring to denounce white Americans and the Founding Fathers.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Four-hundred-and-two years ago, African slaves were forced onto the shores of the colony of Virginia. Two years ago, the 1619 Project brought attention to this anniversary, and put the consequences of slavery, and the contributions of Black Americans, back at the center of our history and of our national narrative. As the project detailed, slavery is the original sin of America. It\u2019s weaved white supremacy and black inferiority into our founding documents and principles.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.wsj.com\/articles\/the-ambassador-of-blame-america-first-11618527312\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">She repeated those remarks<\/a>&nbsp;again a month later. American media outlets praised her&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.cbsnews.com\/news\/linda-thomas-greenfield-united-nations-ambassador-racism-speech\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">comments<\/a>&nbsp;as a \u201cpowerful\u201d rebuttal against racism.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>America is fond of calling out Russia\u2019s alleged human rights abuses and disregard for democratic norms. Lavrov responded to these claims with a reminder of America\u2019s own record, particularly its persecution of Trump supporters involved in the Capitol protests.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cWe are following with interest the persecution of those persons who are accused of the riots on January 6 this year,\u201d Lavrov&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/news.yahoo.com\/russias-foreign-minister-said-capitol-104933838.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">said last week<\/a>, stressing that Vladimir Putin will press Biden on this issue when the two meet this summer. \u201cA lot of really interesting things are happening from the point of view of the rights of the opposition and protecting those rights,\u201d the Russian diplomat added.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It is rich for America to attack other countries that suppress protesters and dissidents when our regime does the same thing. We attack China for denying bail to non-violent election protesters while we deny bail to non-violent election protesters here. We criticize Belarus for diverting a flight to arrest a dissident while we don\u2019t even allow dissidents to fly here. We denounce Russia for firing government workers for their political beliefs while every corporation and institution does the same thing here. This isn\u2019t the Land of the Free anymore.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>It\u2019s good that Russia is taking this line in favor of Trump supporters and conservative whites. China and Iran prefer to celebrate Black Lives Matter and condemn America as the Great Racist Satan. China usually botches its attempts at wokeness, but it still sticks to that line. China doesn\u2019t care about anti-white racism or the persecution of Trump supporters. The Red Dragon tries to appeal to the Left, even though the ChiComs do a poor job of it. The Iranians appear to be better at this, and it\u2019s probably impossible for them to ever appeal to ordinary American conservatives. Russia seems to be the only world power to make this play.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Back in the Obama and early Trump years, many right-wingers idolized Putin\u2019s Russia. Too often, they fell for the media\u2019s depiction of Russia. Western outlets shrieked that Putin was a white nationalist, a fascist, and a threat to democracy everywhere. Some right-wingers believed these claims and decided that made Putin based. They liked how Russia seemed to oppose western degeneracy and foreign interventions. Russia was one of the few countries to stand with Bashar al-Assad against the \u201cmoderate\u201d jihadis backed by the West. Right-wingers also liked Putin\u2019s swagger and his status as a serious statesman.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Some of these views were more accurate than others. It is true that Putin\u2019s Russia serves as a counterweight to America\u2019s Empire of Nothing on the world stage and stands up for worthy states like Assad\u2019s Syria. Putin also pursues some sensible policies in his home country, such as banning homosexual propaganda to children. (Meanwhile, American children\u2019s cartoons teach kids to march in gay pride parades with their two daddies.) Russia also doesn\u2019t tolerate national hatred or guilt, for better and for worse, and cracks down on traitorous billionaires. Putin also is a serious statesman, an extinct species among our pathetic political elites.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>But Putin\u2019s Russia is also far away from the fantasy ethnostate or Orthodox kingdom of right-wing fantasies.&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/counter-currents.com\/2019\/04\/we-cant-trust-conservatives\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">It locks up&nbsp;<\/a>nationalists for hate speech and other dubious charges. Its immigration policy still lets in many foreigners and the regime preaches a form of multiculturalism (albeit, one less insufferable than ours).&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/counter-currents.com\/2019\/01\/russia-an-exemplar-of-christian-nationalism\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Very few Russians go to church<\/a>&nbsp;and the nation is plagued with all types of social ills, from addiction to widespread corruption.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Russia also threatens the sovereignty of many of its neighbors. This, of course, is not a major concern for American nationalists, but it does explain why Eastern European nationalists don\u2019t like Putin. Ukrainians, Balts, and Poles all have memories of what life was like under the bootheel of Russia. It makes sense why&nbsp;<em>they&nbsp;<\/em>would oppose Russia and their stance does deserve a bit of understanding.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>That does not mean we, as American nationalists, should see Russia as the great enemy. Nor does that mean we should fawn over Russia as the SUPER BASED AND REDPILLED EMPIRE. We simply need to recognize it as a necessary counterweight to America\u2019s BLM imperialism. No other nation will denounce anti-white racism or confront Biden about the persecution of ordinary Trump supporters. It\u2019s good for a world player to defend our people and force the American regime to answer for its anti-white racism. Every other foreign power prefers to denounce America for the same reasons leftists do here. Russia is the only one to speak for us.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>We shouldn\u2019t turn ourselves into unwitting tools for Russian designs or into some kind of pro-Kremlin fifth column. We merely need to acknowledge that Russian propaganda is more sympathetic to our side than ever before.&nbsp;<em>RT<\/em>&nbsp;and&nbsp;<em>Sputnik<\/em>&nbsp;read more like&nbsp;<em>Breitbart<\/em>, minus the boomerism and zealous Zionism. They seem to no longer care about appealing to the \u201canti-establishment Left.\u201d In America, there is no more anti-establishment Left. Antifa is sympatico with the FBI and major corporations. Liberals and leftists both want a more authoritarian government that locks up their political enemies. They also hate Russia and want the state to spread our \u201cdemocratic values\u201d to every part of the globe. Russians may finally realize the Left is hopeless. It makes more sense for the Russians to side with the nationalist Right.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>What this <\/strong><strong>realignment<\/strong><strong> will look like is anyone\u2019s guess. But as long as Russia calls out the system\u2019s anti-white racism and abuses, it\u2019s good for us.<\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Is Russia Trying to Win Over White Americans? https:\/\/counter-currents.com\/2021\/06\/is-russia-trying-to-win-over-white-americans\/ Robert Hampton June 4, 2021 Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov apparently shows more concern for ordinary white Americans than the average Republican lawmaker.
