Ines Yes,vatnik. On russian it is "ватник". It is type of patriot,but fanatic. Like south radical american people. Maybe, Jonathan will understand me.

      Laura Some kind of, but vatniks is a greater part of russian population. If you want to understand, what shit are they, i say one thing. Some vatniks think,that is good idea to throw nukes into Europe and USA. Why? If you ask them about it, they will begin to scream "WE ARE MOST POWERFULL NATION,WE CAN THROW NUKES BECAUSE WE HAVE THEM, OTHER WORLD MUST RESPECT US". When you say them,that nukes will harm them too,they will scream "YOU LIE"(on russian it is "ВЫ ВСЕ ВРЕТИ"). And vatniks hate Ukraine and they love Crimea. But normal people don't like Crimea.

          Crimea was Russia until Kruschev gift it to Soviet Ukraine, right?

              Daniil Are you referring to rednecks? You would be correct that most of them are extreme patriots, but such extreme patriots come from all parts of the country, and are not restricted to the south/rednecks (these terms should not be confused with each other). I like to see cold war style patriotism. It leads to technological progress and advancement of mankind.

                  Ines Yes, it was. But adding Crimea to Russia make a lot of troubles for economy and outside politics.

                    Johnathan No, it is not just redneks. I talked about people, who support the idea of south part of USA in times of civil war. They also use red flag with blue cross. They can be from all parts of USA

                        Daniil There are a lot of people who support the confederacy the U.S. This is due to the articles of confederation, the original constitution that made the entire country a confederacy and gave most rights to states. The south had an agrarian economy while the north was industrialized. Thus, when northern abolitionists tried to outlaw slavery, they overlooked the fact that the entire southern economy was built upon this corrupt system. This system would have taken 50-100 years to correct efficiently, but the north wanted abolition. And they had more population, so the federal government was in their favour. The south panicked, as they knew that the smooth transition away from slavery wouldn't take place. They used the nuclear option and seceeded from the U.S., and a long bloody civil war followed that killed over 850,000 people, possibly more. In the end the smooth economic transition did not occur, and both the north and south hate each other to the present day. Both whites and blacks were hurt badly. Many of them had no money, and the south was in ruins. This led to the rise of terrorist groups such as the klan. Many blacks were lynched in horrible ways that I can't even discuss. The southern economy never fully recovered, and is still poorer than the north.
                        This is why some people supported the confederacy and the rights of the states. If the states could have made the gradual transition in their own, everyone would be better off, especially the blacks. Plus, terrorists like the kkk would never have been formed. The dixie flag is symbolic of that spirit of self-determination, the capacity to fix your own problems without others interrupting. The Virginia battle flag (dixie flag) has been modified and utilized by far-right groups. This is the flase "confederate flag" most people are familiar with.
                        With a $26 trillion national debt, more and more people are supporting the old confedeacy with more state rights, so the government is closer to the people, and easier to mange.
                        There are lots I didn't cover, but this is a brief rundown of U.S history as it relates to the concept or radicals you described.

                        Sorry about the rant, I just needed to explain things 🙂

                            Daniil Thank you! Advanced history is one of my study courses at my high school What are you studying at university right now?
                            J

                                Johnathan Informatics and computer engineering. This is the same IT, only closer to the iron level. We had courses on microcontroller programming, computer architecture, radio engineering and so on. I work in the same fiel

                                    Daniil That's pretty cool! I am also into computer engineering. I have constructed numereous computers for myself and my family. Also, are cryptocurrencies popular in russia?
                                    J

                                        Johnathan I think,that you don't understand me right. I am on really low level of computer engineering. We prog on assembler, we learn how CPU works and etc. Building PC from parts is easy level.
                                        About cryptocurrency. Yes,they are popular. But it is popular like way to make money fast. A lot of people know, that cryptocurrency can make real money fast, but only a small part of people know,how to do it. As for me, I think that it is good thing to pay something in internet and nothing more. Blockchain is empty hype technology, and I bored to hear about Blockchains from teapots.

                                            Daniil We prog on assembler, we learn how CPU works and etc

                                            I doubt you will be paid well for these skills.

                                                Laura It needed on my work, where I am working.

                                                  10 months later

                                                  Hi, I am from Russia and looking for information on my problem. Are you really a fan of using a chastity belt? Do you still speak Russian?

                                                    And how can I contact you? Laura suggested you to me.

                                                    Alex Do you still speak Russian?

                                                    Still? You know I still speak French 😂

                                                      Alex

                                                      normally english is spoken here, although i think that exceptions are allowed. but i don't know that there are many russians here 😂
