They spent years destroying other people’s cultures and spend years colonizing others to the point where they don’t have a culture of their own. There isn’t much to be proud of. That’s why they appropriate from their victims.

rXssians destroy lives because they don’t know how to cope with their own. They live in shitty conditions and can’t stand the fact that their former colonial subjects live in better conditions. Rather than blaming their government and their own actions, they blame their victims.
