@victoriatsymbal4257 22,6% of Russians use outdoor toilets. Its 21% in USA, 55% in Vermont. So what?

@ICP-Crusader Hi from Russia. YT full of expat vlogs. We had some expat communities before, now its like a flood. Americans, Brits, Australians, French... I recommend Eric Piccione, young guy from Cincinnati, because he lives not in Moscow, in average Russian city. For Moscow - try Scottish Guy In Moscow. Both vlogs are new and not flooded with content

@MichaelWashingtonAE I'm not interesting in s***throwing. To sum it up: Modern Russia is safe, clean, cheap and functional place. Works best in certain scenarios, i.e. farmers, retirees (incl. military vets), multibaby families. Russia not perfect, still its white, huge and powerful. Like USA once was.

@Bastian28466 Sound strange to me. USA was engaged in multiple wars recently, I don't think it somehow affect your life. Anyway... to wait until the end of war is a sane idea, no doubt.

@sparkeyjones6261 ??? I'm a Russian living in Russia. What you try to sell to me?

@MissBabalu102 You are cheated and manipulated, that's all. Running water and indoor plumbing means a connection to a centralized system, i.e. huge underground pipes. If you own a house you often try to build an autonomous utility system. You may have a fancy biotoilet and get water from the veil through compressor - technically speaking you don't have running water and indoor plumbing. At least in Russia, Idk how such situation evaluated in US.

@wielandsmith Okay, lets settle this up. Look, this is translation from Russian: "21 million households in the United States are not connected to a central sewer system, but use septic systems to capture and filter their toilet waste. What is a septic system in America? In fact, it is a tank buried in the ground, or more often, a hole dug in the ground, in which waste from the toilet, kitchen, and bathroom accumulates. Underground tanks are most common in rural areas, especially in New England and the Deep South. In some states, such as Vermont, the proportion of homes not connected to sewer is more than 55%."" That's it. "not connected to sewer". What's a difference between outdoor toilet and indoor toilet if the waste goes in the same hole? Russia is an urban civilization, most people lives in flats. And flats connected to a city sewer system, city water pumps, city heating facilities etc. So if you live in your own house - big chance it not connected to centralized systems. In such case, we not considered it as "indoor plumbing". Maybe in far outskirts of Russia you could find the old lady who cannot afford a lavatory and a few meters of plastic pipes to connect a lavatory with a waste tank under the old Soviet outdoor toilet. Maybe. Come on, bro, we have the same prosperity level as you. We are a high-income country by World Bank standards. I may just lol you, but I freaking tired to read same pieces of bs again and again, sorry.

@mezzuna To some extent, yes. In Russian culture the state is a half-sacred entity. "Russian dream" is to serve a state and if you lucky - die for it. Western politicking are based on hatred, competition, disrespect. Democracy is disgusting. I remember in my Soviet childhood once I saw a MP, who laughing in the face of Margaret Thatcher, it was a shock to me. Like... "she's a great leader, and an old lady, how dare you!" So yes, we respect our leaders more and less inclined to touch them personally. We are free to criticize "the policy of the state", tho. But no names, please, no swear words etc.

@sparkeyjones6261 Here in Russia we have a list of things you should avoid to propagate, i.e. transgenders, suicide etc. Criticism of govt is okay. Russia is a normal capitalist country now. Come on, commies are gone 35 years ago.

@sparkeyjones6261 Same here. Fines and community services.

@MichaelWashingtonAE Russia really starts booming a ten years ago or so. Even in 2010 it was quite depressing view. Anyway, I'm not speak from myself in the comment you respond. This is what the expats say. I can recall part about "white" in full: Man (he is from Colorado) said something like "if you think what's going on in USofA is an anomaly and you believe it ends in few years, you may find some quiet place in Latin America to spent those few years without much trouble. But if you believe things will only get worse and you commited to find another place to live - there's no real options outside Russia. Its white, its huge, its powerful, its Christian and largely compatible with American culture. This is a "land of opportunity" of our time." --- Anyway, this is 2024. Everybody has a camera in the pocket. Its easy to find and watch any content. I have zero intentions to trick you. Everybody knows how Philadelphia or Seattle or Frisco looks like in these days. You may check a vid "Воронеж (Voronezh) 2010-2021, было-стало". Just a random Russian city changes over the last decade. Also I'm ready to discuss any thing related to modern Russia with your friends

@janlanik2660 I get it, but we do not care much about losses, like always. So an impact of war on the society is roughly the same.

@Bastian28466 Yes, but... look, we continue to grow even now. While the West plunging into stagnation or recession and internal crisis without a war. So yes, ongoing war is a bad thing, if all else is equal. But its not equal. Its all about trends, my friend. We going up while the West going down. Russia literally flourished under Putin' rule, true, but westerners who visit us wouldn't be so shocked if their home countries do okay First thing they say: everything our media say about Russia is a lie. Second thing they say: Russians enjoy safe and clean environment, free healthcare etc. - paying 13% flat tax. We in the West pay 40% tax - where all our money goes? So you see - its not that Russia is a paradise, its about something deeply wrong with the West.
