Funnily enough satisfaction levels aren’t that high in Russia either (it’s a capitalist bourgeois “democracy” as much as Spain or the USA). The overwhelming majority of people in Russia who lived during Socialism (and in Ukraine up to 2013 for that matter), when polled, confirm that life was better under communism.
If you want to look at countries with a high rate of satisfaction with government, you should check out the governance systems of China and Vietnam. Pew Research polls consistently classify those countries as the ones with the highest number of people being satisfied with government.
I understand the point, but this “whataboutism” with Russia was dumb. Nobody is setting the example of Russia as a paradise to live in, I brought up better examples
What part of “Pew Research” don’t you understand? Are you seriously conspiracy-brained enough to believe Pew Research can’t do an anonymous poll in China? I specifically mentioned that the poll is from Pew, a western, very much non-communist organization, to try and avoid this conversation, but I guess you’re too high on western supremacism / eurocentrism to be capable of so much as reading.

I think the point is, no one is claiming they want to live in Russia or approve of Putin, in general.

Why do you even comment if you’re not willing to engage in good faith.
Literally nobody talked about Russia but you, idiot
If you insist.
Deal with enough liberals, you start to understand why he had to do so much of that.
No no, the gun country with flag pledges and hand on heart shit is the USA
