So sad Kamilla thinks that she's been bullied because she's the bulliable type. Nobody has the right of bullying. It's not her fault. She's swimming against the tide. She's the kind of human that eventually changes the world. Be brave dear, many of us look for people like you just to get the strenght to carry on.

[@The_ZeroLine]

She seems like the type that would, sadly, be bullied in any country. She’s a shy, bookish looking tomboy with intellectual interests typical of someone twice her age. In high school aged kids, those are not popular traits.

[@The_ZeroLine]

@Candi How the hell do you know if she’s being bullied. The vast majority of people in the west don’t teach young children anything about LGBTQ. It’s just a myth the right wing in every country uses to try and scare the masses. Their evidence is usually from some expensive school in an ultra liberal enclave with a crazy SJ streak in their curriculum. But 95% of kids aren’t getting that stuff. It is true though that the LGBTQ community has a disproportionately loud voice in the media and they seem to think everything should be about them. They’ve become a selfish, spoiled and entitled community.

[@g.s.632]

Exactly, she’s the strong one

[@ondrejlukas4727]

Sadly it works precisely like that - some kind of personalities (of acting, of behaviour) provoce tension for bullying. I am not supporting bullying since I was bullyied myself but it just happens. You need to learn and become able to prevent it, to deflect it and in best to prevent it effectively from happening to others. There is actually even the way on how to bully someone and help him or her to immprove himself or herself, but it's what we call 'vyšší dívčí' :) Like it's kind of an Art and it's neccessary to know what you are doing and to feel your 'victim'. The trick, simply said is precisely in 'stopping being a victim' since it's kinda of mindset. And yeah, regimes like that one of Moscovia impose this mindset of bully/victim into minds of it's subjects.

I am sick of seeing Russians complaining left and right and wherever they go they are proud of being Russians and they replicate the same corrupt, dishonest practices they have in Russia… do they really want change ?, I do not think so. They only want to become rich and engrossing their wealth. Nations like India wanted change and the whole nation managed to drive the mighty British away….

You can see her mind shuts off after his rebuttal of her rebuttal. Her opinions aren't her own, she can't defend what she says when challenged.

[@eatplastic9133]

She obviously respects him and herself, that's why she stopped. Why should she contiue the rebutting on a documentary?

Why would she fight with her parents for everyone to see and laugh at them? Would you ?

@@Idontwantahandle6669 that's not true. In Russia kids are thought to respect their parents and not talk back.

Especially because they are being filmed, she was being mindful of how to speak with her parents.

I think she was too rude criticizing her parents on camera to show of. Especially when she started shaming her father on gay issues and such.

They tend to hate you, bc they know on a level your right. And they know fixing it will require change which is something they aren't ready to do. They've gotten so comfortable with their "normal". Change would also require admitting wrong doing on their part which most people with an inflated sense of self wont be comfortable doing bc they are more worried about being perceived as a good person instead of actually molding their actions to try to be a good person!

Wow, what a difference in 'teaching styles', proper teaching is presenting all the available information and letting each person form their own opinions. This guy at 17:50 just says, 'yes you are right, this is what I believe, I expect you to believe and think the same.' I've heard similar examples of students being taught at Beijing University where students are told what the material is, told what to think and are never allowed to ask questions even if it is simply because they want to better understand the material they are being shown. Westerners who attend that university are kept away from other students during classes because they will ask questions.

[@scratchy996]

I grew up in Romania, they tried to indoctrinate us from Kindergarten. I went to University in Germany, there were many Chinese students there. I lived in a dorm, every week a shipment of Chinese newspapers came for the Chinese students. You didn't have to read Chinese to understand they were propaganda, you could tell by the pictures. The Chinese students were allowed to go to classes, but they were banned from making foreign friends. They were not allowed to go to parties, or take part in other activities that were not related to school, like sports, or trips. Every time a new Chinese student moved in the dorm, there were the same people around them. At first I thought they were family members, but I soon realized they were secret police. Unfortunately there was a high amount of Chinese students that committed suicide, one almost every month in my university alone. They had to put fences on dorm windows to discourage jumping.

@@Lee-jc1ob I don't have reason to believe otherwise. But who knows, really. When I made my paperwork to get my student visa, I was sent to a foreign student organization to get to know the people there, they told me to contact them if I have any questions or issues. They told me that 25% of foreign students end up suffering from stress, anxiety or depression, due to the pressure of studying abroad, financial issues, home sickness, etc. I have to admit, it did get pretty stressful and lonely, living in a foreign country. Having to study in a foreign language, in a foreign school system is hard, even if you speak the language. I ended up asking for a break semester at one point, and went home for a few months. So I guess the Chinese students were hit pretty hard, because most of them spoke bad German, they had to take private classes to learn the language first, they had to pay for those classes and for all other expenses, so they had to take a job, if their family wasn't rich. They weren't allowed to be friends with non-Chinese students, which made them feel even lonelier. I looked it up, apparently suicide is a problem in Chinese universities too.

I think, all things considered, it's only normal that they think the American people could want them harms. And don't forget that US military bases are all around Russia, surrounding them, and ready to invade. Like in Iraq, Vietnam, Korea, Syria, Libya, Yemen, Afghanistan, Pakistan, Somalia, Czechoslovakia, etc... One could wonder how safe it is to NOT be prepared for an invasion from the US... I understand the point of many people saying it's because of the corrupted politician and that it's not the people's fault because they don't want this.

A scale tha test no western nation has ever endured, let alone experience ever in their history as a nation state. Russia, by every metric, is in a better overall position than any time in probably its entire history-better than the imperial Tsarist rule, communist rule, etc.-and those that lived through communist rule, and the misery that was the 1990s know this. For only a single generation since the russian federation has existed, where they are, is astounding. Russia will continue to show the world that agasint lost odds, that's they will survive and even thrive (relative to any other time in Russias histroy).

Russia is ruled by 50-60 years old people. People with half military half prison mentality. They are ruling the country based on their aggressively coloured understanding of world. They are absolutely different from young generation. Our values are different. Generation in Russia in general are very different from each other because in last 50 year a lot of things happen in our country. I’d say we (people at +-20 y.o) have different mentality from mentality that our parents and grandparents have. That’s why there are values dissonance in Russian society. Young people want changing, freedom even revolution, older once want safety, stability and just not to become even poorer that they are now. And one more important result of situation in Russia is brain drain. I’m studying in Vladivostok in Far Eastern Federal University, I’m studying Regional Studies. We have about 60 students in our group and most of us wants to leave Russia and same situation is with all other students of all occupations in whole country. Isn’t it a tragedy?

Don't really see brain drain as an issue. Russians get the appreciation and comfort they deserve, while they in return strengthen the weakened immune system of recipient countries. Russia could be used as a breeding ground for ideologically independent white people who would migrate to countries like Germany, Canada, and the US to help save them from the rabid anti-white collapse.

@@TeddyKrimsony Insofar as different "republics" that once belonged to the Soviet Union were given independence by Russia after the fall (like Ukraine) and want to realize their own future and independence, then yes, America would prefer nations have the right to self-determination and freedom. Putin, as is clear in Crimea, Georgia, Ukraine, and elsewhere, dreams of recreating the Soviet Union whether officially or just by sphere of influences. But that is not going to be acceptable in the 21st century when independence of government is not only totally feasible, but morally justified for a nation to want to be able to govern themselves fully and independently. "Russia" does not get to lay claim to other countries like Ukraine just because they were part of the Soviet Union, they were given independence.
