UKRAINE & ISRAEL: The Liberal
- You might prefer relatively liberal societies that have a reasonable amount of social norms and expectations, and a certain degree of censorship and bad reactions to (some) protests.
- You may be center-left or center-right, possibly a neoliberal (or possibly, but less likely, a Trotskyite or nationalist) of some sort.
- Also includes neoconservatives, and some other (pro-establishment) "elitists" from almost every part of the political compass.
- These people are mostly afraid of something really "different" (in their government). They are afraid of change. They are probably also afraid of too much chaos and extremes.
- A lot of them might just want to live their lives (or think that), and would like more people to follow their "majority", "normal" stance on this issue.
- In addition, you might also have some ancestry or heritage that is Jewish or Ukrainian.
UKRAINE & PALESTINE: The Leftist
- You are probably some sort of leftist or anarchist, most likely on the libertarian Left, although there are probably also some on the authoritarian Left (and occasionally the [authoritarian] Right).
- You are probably more or less okay with "Wokism" or political correctness (although you might occasionally admit that some of it sometimes goes too far).
- You might have seldom really complained about "cancel culture" (for the most part) and possibly consider it to be "consequence culture" instead (a relatively peaceful, civilized, or Western one, in your view).
- In certain cases, you might be some sort of nationalist or patriot.
- You might have an aversion to the religion of Christianity or religion in general. Although there are cases where you might be some sort of modern or secular/cultural Christian.
- In addition, you might also have some ancestry or heritage that is Muslim [religious background], Arab, Palestinian, or Ukrainian.
RUSSIA & ISRAEL: The Religious
- You might be from the Libertarian Right, or consider yourself to be some sort of "libertarian" or "religious conservative."
- This includes many people who are religious and/or orthodox from many religions, although they are not necessarily (or always) the majority in their religions (e.g. Hinduism, Christianity, Judaism, etc.)
- They often might have complex religious/political views and beliefs, including reincarnation. Occasionally, they might just be deemed "crazy" or "eccentric" by the more cosmopolitan or urban majority.
- This group may be the most steeped in a desire for spiritual or traditional holiness, or perhaps even a desire for some sort of theocracy.
- They might have an aversion to the religion of Islam.
- In addition, they may have heritage or ancestry that is Jewish or Russian (or perhaps Soviet).
RUSSIA & PALESTINE: The Socialist or Illiberal
- This group can include "communists" as well as "socialists," "national socialists," "fascists" and "Nazis" (or "neo-Nazis").
- Could also include a variety of "white supremacists," "antisemites," "white nationalists," "racists," "racial identitarians," etc. [e.g. the Dissident Right or auth./alt-right, but definitely not all (and perhaps sometimes not always the majority) of these groups either].
- Some of them might also just be "right-wing" in general (perhaps almost some sort of "pan-rightist" (either present-day or past). Could be right-wing libertarian as well.
- These people may feel the most alienated from society, and may also feel the most threatened/affected by censorship and cancel culture.
- They may harbor the most hostility or resentment against the establishment or status quo.
- They may go through cycles of fear and frustration, anxiety and rage, followed by depression. They can have manic-depressive/"extremist" tendencies.
- Because this is often the least popular position in the Western and capitalist world, they may have a lot of ambivalence, and while some of them are very strong in their position (or appear to be), there may be a variety of forces (both internal and external) that may cause them to waver.
