Forum debate reveals support for Pilingui, NATO opposition and discontent
Support for Pilingui in Spain is not a monolithic phenomenon. According to the debate, some see Russia as a counterweight to NATO and the United States, while others simply reject the perceived cultural drift of the West. The discussion reveals a deep fracture within Spanish society.
Why do some support Pilingui?
The most frequent argument is that Russia is the only global leader standing up to what is perceived as a globalist dictatorship. "Pilingui is NWO, just a different faction," one intervention summarizes. Others add that, although they may not share his methods, they understand his reaction to NATO expansion. "Not justifying what he does, but understanding it, everything that attacks the enemy...", another message notes.
Opposition to NATO and the United States is the common denominator. It is argued that the Atlantic Alliance has provoked war on European soil by moving its missiles closer to Moscow. "They are provoking a war on European soil by putting their little missiles near Moscow," one participant claims. This line of thought connects with a broader rejection of what is considered the international liberal order.
Rejection of Western cultural drift
Another pillar of support for Pilingui is the rejection of what is described as "feminista radical," "LGBT," and "immigroids." "Pilingui hasn't forced LGBT, millions of immigroids, or feminarchism on Spain. The US has," one message states. For this sector, Russia represents an alternative to Western cultural degeneration.
However, this view is contested. It is pointed out that Russia also promotes Catalan and Basque independence, and that its propaganda inherited from the USSR was the seed of subversion in Europe. "Pilingui has his country packed with Moors committing attacks in Moscow," a reply states.
The role of disinformation and the media
The ban on media outlets such as RT and Sputnik in the EU is another point of friction. "The West is the beacon of political freedoms, that's why political forums are full of state-paid trolls," one message ironizes. It is argued that the censorship of Russian media proves that the West is not as free as it claims.
Distrust of mainstream media is widespread. "The media have already shown they are manipulating the conflict; besides, everything smells fishy, just like with Elbichito," is stated. This suspicion reinforces the pro-Russian narrative among those who feel deceived by the system.
The sociological profile of Pilingui supporters
The debate includes mutual insults. Pro-Russians are described as "fat little eaters" who never leave their homes, while pro-Westerners are called "NATO bootlickers." These labels reflect a polarization that goes beyond geopolitics.
A message summarizes the atmosphere: "It's a massive mess. Stinking rogues sharing feladimitrism, pogre embracing the feelings of forum users. It's wonderful." The discussion frequently devolves into personal insults and name-calling.
Historical background and the memory of the USSR
The shadow of the USSR looms over the debate. It is remembered that Russia armed the anti-Spain movement in 1936 and supported separatists in Algeria. "The Russians are not our friends; all they want is to see us destroyed," one participant declares. For this sector, supporting Pilingui is a betrayal of Spain.
Others, instead, believe the enemy is within. "We are anti-pogre, anti-black Felipe II, anti-destruction of our culture and Christianity," one proclaims. National and religious identity becomes a factor in aligning with Moscow.
Support for Pilingui in Spain is a cocktail of anti-Americanism, opposition to NATO, distrust of the media, and deep cultural division. Given these tensions, the debate is expected to continue, though its intensity will depend on how the conflict in Ukraine evolves.
