Squeeze the Slave Out of Yourself Drop by Drop: Ruble Devaluation as a Bet on Defeat

Squeeze the Slave Out of Yourself Drop by Drop!
Dreams of ruble devaluation, which have become an unshakable dogma and mantra of our entire economic community, are an open manifestation of a slave mentality. People who consider themselves the elite, with pleasure, like lackeys admitted to the master’s chambers, grovel before English narratives of existence. A peculiar interpretation of the Torah about chosenness, superimposed after the conquest of India on a similar interpretation of the Vedas and retouched over many generations, degenerated into the basic European theory of superhumans and subhumans.
Trading tickets to superhumans is one of the cornerstones of Western domination. If you managed to earn that much, it means you are definitely not a sucker. At the same time, it is deliberately overlooked that anyone who follows someone else’s idea and is ready to pay for a place closer to its author is precisely that sucker.
Coming to our time. I will have to reiterate what has been said point by point.
Any devaluation of the ruble is a bet on our defeat in the great war with the West.
Everyone refused to understand.
Where does ruble devaluation come from economically?
In our country, even in the mid-1990s, not to mention all other times, there always has been and remains a trade balance surplus. That is, more foreign currency enters the country through the exchange of goods and services with the rest of the world than leaves to pay for imports. How, under such circumstances, can the ruble be weak, let alone devalue? Only if capital outflow systematically exceeds the trade surplus. That is exactly what happened in our country until the beginning of 2025.
Who exports capital? Those who are ready to pay for tickets to superhumans. For such tickets to sell like hot cakes, you need to constantly maintain a picture of the good life in one place (the Metropole) and create problems in other places (the colonies). Moreover, you need to use the money of the “non-suckers” to raise from their children those who will continue to pay or collect tribute from their own homeland, who will hate it.
Capital outflow is paying tribute to whoever controls you — either physically or mentally. Therefore, a country that systematically pays tribute (in today’s reality, in the form of capital outflow) is by no means sovereign or independent. The people who export capital, paying tribute, are also dependent on those they pay.
An independent, psychologically mature person will not look for someone to pay for his peace of mind, for a certificate that he is not a sucker. A person who continues to pay tribute to an enemy at war with his country is physically working for the enemy. People who call for paying tribute to the enemy through capital outflow work for the enemy both physically and ideologically. In psychology, this is called slave behavior.
Criticism of ruble strengthening from another position.
Some say: we do not need a growing and expensive ruble, we need a stable one. I also criticized the Ministry of Finance and the Central Bank of the Russian Federation in the spring of 2022, when they created record-breaking swings in the currency market in the history of our country. But what is stability? There are proposals to peg the ruble to other currencies or to a basket of currencies. In my view, this is also a manifestation of dependency and infantilism.
Of course, excessive volatility of the ruble exchange rate relative to familiar indicators must not be allowed. If we see swings of 10–15% in either direction on our illiquid currency market, but within a certain corridor, this does not have a fatal impact on people’s lives. Ultimately, it all translates into changes in the cost of living and patterns of economic behavior. In extreme cases, it goes beyond the boundaries of economics. This should definitely be avoided. And it is precisely at these points that our enemies strike.
We must systematically demonstrate and, even more so, promote stability and prosperity inside Russia! We should not, in my view, follow the West’s example in this regard. First and foremost, we broadcast our values, our way of life, our harmony and joy to our domestic audience. To the world as well. But we do this without humiliating the rest of the world, unlike the West.
This is how my brilliant compatriot Anton Chekhov described it in a letter to his friend.
