Is the entire purpose of promoting Orthodox Christianity as a way to distract the Russian and Serbian populace from the neoliberal policies of their government?
If you go on RT.com right now they are broadcasting some Orthodox Christian events live on the front page. Putin presents himself as a proud orthodox christian.
Why are orthodox priests so fat?
Russian inequality over the decades
The church in United Russia has the same role it had under the Czardom, controlling people's souls and spooking them to no end.
mao and chavez were fat too though
nowhere near as fat as the average burger or orthodox priest
You know, sometimes, wealth inequality can be a result of problem solving capacity inequality. Sometimes, it can be a result of laziness. Or responsibility, or discipline, or a trillion different things.
I honestly think that people complaining about income inequality and the rich, are all some sort of ultra secretive cabal of Ayn Rand porky cultists, destroying communism trough strawmanning it into complaining about wealth inequality, which is so incredibly easy to tear down, so a whole bunch of people disregards it for ever.
Wealth inequality is not an argument, prove me wrong.

As someone who lives in an orthodox majority with a pretty powerful church.Fuck em.

The problem with wealth inequality is making things worse for the vast majority of your population for the benefit of another pair of shoes, another mansion, or another nice car, is that none of those things by themselves can run society, only labor can, you fuck with labor you're fucking yourself
