From what i've heard before the war, Zelensky was rather mediocre, elected as a "moderate" after the last far right guy (not that it helped dealing with Russians in the end lol), and his chances to get reelected didn't look good.Honestly, I dislike Zelensky. In fact, the entire situation around Ukraine has me kinda paranoid: when Croatia was fighting for its independence, West slapped it with embargo, which was frankly a crime against humanity with relation to Croatia and BiH. Now, the West is falling over its feet to help Ukraine.
This means that Ukraine has almost certainly been already conquered by the globalist Marxists, and that Zelensky is their puppet. And this promo campaign only reinforces this belief.
I think the western chattering classes are just suffering from the shock that he stuck around for the fight after war experiences with the Afghan and Iraqi governments. They were fully prepared to give similar treatment to these more diverse war leaders, but there wasn't much to show, to their disappointment.
Wonder how much of that is war's rallying effect since 2014. Also TV\Internet filtering as news source. Older and lower IQ people would get their news from TV, which was usually biased for Russia, later on sometimes for nationalists. Younger and higher IQ would use Internet more often, which was dominated by nationalists and liberals, the latter especially in EN sources.higher-IQ Ukrainians tend to be more nationalistic (Svidomy) and would thus be much less likely to remain under Russian rule if resistance was not a realistic option.
For different effects, wonder if it doesn't happen to look similar in Japan regarding communists, and in South Korea regarding NK simps.
In the "old West" academia is full-on exploited by leftist activists for propaganda, so they could be skewing the IQ-political relationship their way.
You know what, even if the West, if there was an invasion by a country that puts liberals in prison or worse, i think liberals would vote "nationalisticly" in favor of not surrendering and focusing on winning the war. Sure, they support the third worlder sneaky invasion, but at the same time they are under effective whitewashing propaganda regarding the character and political leanings of the migrants.
PragerU even did a video on such politically driven ignorance on the theme of "Gays for Palestine", which obviously is not a reciprocated sentiment:
You can already see that. The "stay behinds" in Russian occupation in all the stories tend to be often pensioners or people otherwise struggling to move on a short notice, or Russia sympathizers, who tend to be older too. Meanwhile younger people, especially military age men, have a lot of reasons to not stay there.So, on paper Russia could have perhaps gotten 15 million new citizens. But just how many of them would have actually been economically productive ones?
You can also try doing demographic analysis on Russian aid queue photos, they tend to confirm that theory - very hard to spot anyone who doesn't look like they are at least in late 40's.
