There are currently people in Russia with near-unlimited access to internet (and until quite recently with near-unlimited access to travel) who sincerely believe that the West is hell on Earth.

You greatly underestimate the power of propaganda.

Russia is hell on earth within some respects and that doesn’t mean the US isn’t when it comes to others. It’s subjective what it means hell on earth but neither the US nor Russia take the medal for worst place in the world to be.

Speaking as an American... they can stay in Russia then, more power to them.

I remember seeing a video of two guys just walking holding hands and the entire town basically ready to jump them, not knowing there was a camera going.

If they want to live like victims, fine, that's a choice you can make, I just don't want them exporting their insanity.
