Why does the media always try to bully Putin and Russia?

Political leaders, particularly authoritarian and expansionist ones, are inherently un/kind/.
Sage because politics itself is an unkind subject.

Yes, he is a very kind man but the media is run by a certain group of people that like to bully kind people :(

I don't really know much about him. Why do you think he's kind?

The bullies want to flood Europe with other bullies and Putin is one of the few men that knows what's going on and wants to stop it

Is there such a rule or guideline? There have been political and current event threads on /kind/ before. Maybe you two are shills supporting the western oligarchy and its main stream media

Being a burger, the only things I "know" about putin are that he's so evil Satan is his sub.
I would imagine, insofar as I can discern, Putin is decidedly nationalistic, which runs counter to the current popular opinion in many places. The bullying is just shaming a incongruent opinion, not unlike telling /tech/ that you use Windows.
full disclosure, I don't have a problem with the guy. I respet the fact that he puts Russia first again, insofar as I, a burger, can tell

I can understand the trepidation; political conversations rarely take more than a handful of posts before they become vitriolic, which is decidedly un/kind/. With that said, there's no hard and fast rules about it.

Because westerners need to hate (it's what the media promotes, people feed on this) and people since civilization came into existence have always needed someone or something to hate.
Foreign countries were seen as mortal enemies, then people of different religions or the non-religious and now it's people of a different political (and social) view.

I don´t know, I haven´t bothered to verify the sources of the claims that Russia is almost as welcoming to Muslims and other inmigrants as the EU, I wouldn´t be surprised though. It´s cliche but I think all politicians without exception are definitily not working for the local worker class, those who believe they do are just making deaf ears to contrary evidence although when it happens it´s probably a byproduct of policies for self benefit primarly. One cool thing about him is the perceived emphasis he puts on traditional values and anti lgbt efforts, wish the rest of the world followed suit, it´s insane.

>Since 2006, numerous regions in Russia have enacted varying laws restricting the distribution of materials promoting LGBT relationships to minors; in June 2013, a federal law criminalizing the distribution of materials among minors in support of "non-traditional" sexual relationships, was enacted as an amendment to an existing child protection law
>31139
>same-sex sexual activity between consenting adults in private was decriminalized in 1993,
Traditional values is what allowed humanity to reach where it is today. Just because the west chooses to promote homosexuality, does not mean that other countries should do the same.
The gay pride parade in Toronto is disgusting. Why should any country want something like that as the norm?
People 's sexuality is something that should be kept private.
most western developed nations have an over crowding problem coupled with diminishing/limited resources. Therefore for the powers that be, it might be strategic to promote homosexuality.
Russia's problem is the opposite. It has abundant land and resources but is lacking human resource. Why would the Russian government allow the promotion and propagation of homosexuality?
And before you say "but anon you can't promote a sexual preference; it's all genetic"; to you I say hogwash.
External influences is as potent as the internal influences.
Media is incredibly influential. And I'm sure statistically will show more gays now than two decades ago.
So in reply to your sage shit post, no Russia / Putin are not bullies.

>not having a cool guy step up and stop the bullying isn't cool
The press makes a living on bullying people and protecting bullies. From what I saw, he's just a stern guy with a soft heart when it comes to russia.

that's true, but i don't think that makes him /kind/ in itself, if anything he is a necessary /unkind/

I doubt he's particularly kind. You don't get to the top in politics without stabbing a few people in the back and stepping on a few heads. Russia's laws certainly aren't what I would describe as "kind", although the same is true of basically every country on Earth.
Remember, there is a difference between doing a few good things and actually being kind. Everyone does some good things, particularly to people they like, but genuine kindness is rare.

There may not be a rule against talking politics or other sensitive subjects, but if threads about certain topics or characters are shown to be prone to name-calling, with lots of stupid meme buzzwords repeated ad-nauseam and general bigotry, I personally deem it as an un/kind/ subject.
We are people with a working brain, and we're able to understand common sense without overbearing rules.
