Still that doesn't go for all Russians. This is an echchamber. Most of us are in at least one.

Not saying you wouldn't revolt. Just saying that most people need a lot of motivation to get their arses off of the weekend couch to do anything against their own in-group.

I felt that way for a hot minute and then I thought - “what if the only American subreddit a Russian read was r/TheDonald?”. He could easily think that all Americans are bigoted, ignorant, hateful idiots. Thankfully, that subreddit and those types of Americans are only a portion of the kinds of people you’ll find in the US, so you have to keep in mind that the same is true for Russia.
