It's fair to hate those kinds of behaviors but it's unfair to put all Russian people in the same boat.

I thought you were specifically hostile to the Russian draft dodgers. I misunderstood you before. Well good luck with that because Thailand loves them (Russians in general) and especially their money.

Some people just don't want to see any political stuff at all at a music concert. I can understand that feeling but in this case I think it was probably German far right wing Putin lovers.

Is your hostility towards them based on feeling protective of Thai immigration or because you support genocidal fascist dictator Putin's war of choice on Ukraine?

Different conflict. Different reasons for the conflict.

We know. We know.

A lot of people feel that way. Other than baseline Russian clannishness while abroad, they realize that too and may be understandably shy of such hostile people here.

If you know anything about Russia, from St. Petersburg sometimes Moscow, like Russian hipsters rather than Z fascist zombies. Anyway, I think the majority of Russian "draft dodgers" aren't necessarily politically motivated and aren't really dissidents per se, but don't want to kill Ukrainians and don't want to die for Putin even more so. I respect that just as I would respect German "draft dodgers" abroad during WW2.

Kerch bridge "terrorist" attack? What a load of Kremlin propaganda. Just repeating it, huh? Yeah, you got that right buddy.

German far right wing on the rise and they like Putin just like maga fascists.

Short people do.

South America stole our name! I love it.

That is BS. Many of the younger ones want to move to the west. Millions have left Russia. Compare to about 5000 western fascists who have moved to Russia.

Yeah like Iran.

Bull crap.

You sure? Anyway I hadn't realized before that he's a Philly boy. Noam Chomsky's wife says reports of famed linguist's death are false - ABC News (go.com)

In Pattaya anyway, there are Russians everywhere. Sometimes I find myself in close quarters with Russians that I am curious about. I'm generally not curious about those that give the appearance of typical going along with the war Z types usually older, big families who are obviously just on holiday from Siberia, etc. The ones that pique my interest are more military age men sometimes with friends or partners. sometimes looking possibly countercultural. I assume most speak some English. But how to break the ice? How's the war treating you somehow seems too abrubt. Any ideas or experiences with this? Well here's one guy who's approachable!

Dude you're tripping.

Yes I'm not predicting anything will be done by the west towards Thailand but I am suggesting it's possible. One example, let's say genocidal fascist dictator Putin using a tactical nuke in Ukraine. Not likely? Hopefully not! But he threatens to do stuff like that very often. So how does the west respond? An escalation leading to global nuclear winter or something less? Something less could include going after any entity that is helping Putin's war efforts anywhere in the world. That could include some entities in Thailand. My POV may be different than some. I see the world as already positioned for World War 3 whether it literally comes to be more real or not, hopefully not. It's already plenty real in Ukrains and if the west caves it will soon become plenty real in Taiwan, Africa, and South America. That means the sides taking form. We've got the west, the dictatorships axis (Russia, China. Iran. NK, Nicaragua, Venezuela, etc.), the truly neutral, and the fake neutrals. It's my opinion Thailand is a fake neutral not that they super support Putin but that they support making money out of Russia and thus are helping the Russian war effort. Similar position to Brazil, South Africa, India, and UAE.

Or have you been a mean gays in the past?

Honey child, can't you just ignore it?

Uh oh. I'm not sure I can afford to live in such a premier place. Oh well, there's always rural Mississippi.

Heck yeah.

Or lesbian bed death. (It's a thing.)

Mincing about? Haters gonna hate.
