The Chinese culture of discipline and obedience is compared to a computer program, leading to a society of "non-player characters" (NPCs). In contrast, Russian culture is described as having a base of survival and suffering that rejects communist "software." The United States is characterized as having a revolutionary spirit that turns toward the light rather than being "blackpilled."

The Ukrainian government has announced plans to ban Leo Tolstoy's "War and Peace" and other Russian classics from being taught in schools. This follows other cultural bans, including Siberian cats from international competitions and Russian athletes from Wimbledon. The move is criticized as an ineffective symbolic gesture in the face of the ongoing military conflict.
