I thought we were used to treating some sexual minorities, something from "diversity" and a comment agenda, as a minority. But statistically and socio-culturally, various types of conservative-patriarchal-traditionalists also belong to those minorities. This is also not more than 3-4% of the total population.

I thought we were used to treating some sexual minorities, something from "diversity" and a comment agenda, as a minority. But statistically and socio-culturally, various types of conservative-patriarchal-traditionalists also belong to those minorities. This is also not more than 3-4% of the total population.

There was a story about this in the 1840s.

"When the Slavophile Konstantin Al-Aksakov first went out on the streets of Moscow in the north of Brokad and Murmolka, the peasants on the street took him for a Persian, bowed and tried to speak to him in an incomprehensible language, mistaking him for a rich oriental guest. Chadayev was ironic about this, saying that he is so dressed in national clothes on the street as a foreigner. As a result, Emperor Nicholas I even issued a special decree forbidding Slavophiles to wear a beard and an "old Russian" dress, as this violated public order and the charter of the aristocracy."

(And the vast majority everywhere, including Russia, are ordinary people who live with current and real problems).
