      Don’t say that too loud, they might find a reason to send you off to something like alligator alcatraz once they’re in power.

      Apparently, those people mysteriously disappeared.

        I wish I believed you. I try to keep my defeatism to myself but the overwhelming majority of people around me IRL are going around like nothing is happening, ignoring current events in the name of self care. Must be fucking nice.

            I’ve been talking with Russians on Reddit. maybe it’s all bots, but most of them really think NATO started the War in Ukraine, that every country in the West has always hated Russia and wants to destroy them, that all the invasions are in self-defense, that attacking the Baltics and Poland would be justified… it was terrifying.

            they’re so cynical too - Western news is propaganda, Western democracies are shams, NATO wants to destroy Russia, everyone is Russophobic, that our citizens deserve to suffer for arming Ukraine, that we’d kill them all if we could, so they don’t care if they kill us.

            they think they can break NATO, that we will fall apart if Poland is invaded, that Russia will emerge victorious and the Western order will lie in shambles. don’t they see they’re playing with nuclear holocaust? do they care? are they so fatalistic they’d play (apologies) Russian roulette with the extinction of humanity?

            I ask you because you seem sane. is this just propaganda from kremlbots, or are most Russians really like this?

              Most ruzzians are like this because of cremlin propaganda. It’s on all news channels, all celebrities either echoing it, or escaping the country, and than those who left here will run hate campaign against them. Some left three years ago, and they still showing them on TV, calling them traitors and almost straightforward wishing them death. It’s just like maga, hating 24/7.
