Still chechen vision of the community is a very clan-centered
The importance of clannishness has faded in Chechnya in recent years, at least in governance. It's more akin to mafia rule today.
I honestly don't know if we'd be better or worse off (or rather, how soon we'd be better off) if we parted ways with Chechnya. It'll be a mess either way, but I suppose we'll find out pretty soon.

Disraeli may well have had a reason to write this particular thing at that particular time, and then things may have changed. After all, there was a marked cultural difference between two Scottish migration waves that were only 60 or 70 years apart, as Thomas Sowell notes.
The fact that you would straight up throw Irish people under the bus like this
just so you could continue being bigoted against brown people is appalling. What's more appalling is that nothing will happen to you on this forum because of it.
Though I have to give you points for being honest in your imperialism. At the end of the day, you'll proudly justify any sort of oppression as long as it's not you being oppressed.

in your imperialism
You're confusing me with someone else. And frankly, I don't think you're in a position to lecture a descendant of Russian serf-slaves and resident of post-
sovok about oppression.

As a descendant of Irish people who suffered under the British, go fuck yourself.

At least you guys were free people who fought back. You won't believe the shit we let our rulers get away with.

And you know that freedom in the capitalist, (pseudo)meritocratic world is not that shiny jewel as it appears in
our propaganda? And that it can create a perverted and merciless стахановское like soviet communism?
No apparent oppression by the leaders but between an individual and another one, when the things are good.....otherwise you get the classic corrupted white collars scenario or corporations silent rule through lobbying (oh, like Gazprom+Putin!)
Cheers from a present-world cosmist and makhnovist (me) :p
(and we can talk about the mental "oppression" of the western political correctness, but NOT in the
Trump&friends way of eternal victimhood and stupid ressentiment - that's a way to manipulate people, not educate people about the dark sides of the rights-based society )
