One of the most damaging narratives in the post-Cold War period is that of Russia, a country that killed off most of its clergy a century before and spent that entire period violently suppressing Christianty at home and promoting Church-burning abroad somehow on a dime suddenly became the most devout newborn believers ever. This was of course always a facade so they could pursue their ambitions without Western opposition from a religious angle at least, the formerly occupied peoples of Eastern Europe were warning the entire time of this lie, that vatniks putting Stalin on an icon is actually poking fun at our faith, but people in the West so wanted to believe it just like the fiction that muscovites were done with imperialism…

Putin uses christianity to control the masses. Trump does the same. Orban too. Meloni as well. Et cetera. I’m a hardcore atheist, but I have more christian values in my body than all of those far-right fuckers combined.
