The tradition of philosophising in Russia is a long one, but it produces similar results. The eventual ebb and flow of nationalist thought is generally the same throughout its struggle for a unique identity.
Today, Russian citizens act as professors for their own destiny. They remake the words of Putin into shadows of truth. They can’t attain to true awareness because they have only themselves to blame.
Alexander Dugin is one such example of this fatal struggle. He strikes out in support of his State’s nonsense, finding meaning out of words and not reality. In his X posts he succinctly praises the apparent real purpose of a modern Russia. The other view is his ideas have flaws.
He allows a cynicism of human nature to pervade his thinking. It’s the line that divides a Russian from a Ukrainian that makes the world what it is. His impression of the development of humanity is alleged to be along these such lines.
He’s not a supremacist, but neither is he an empiricist. He doesn’t see the value in a natural concord between people because Russians have a unique nature. They have distinctive ways that must be kept pure. It’s a belief that defining values by yourself is what makes it lasting.
