    Unfortunately I am identifying more and more with the Russians. It’s becoming increasingly clear that most of my fellow citizens are not interested in the fact that we are slipping into autocracy/idiocracy, and it is also affecting my motivation to do something about it. Maybe in 20 years I will be so resigned to the situation that I allow them to send my son for slaughter.

    Sorry, really depressed in the moment. Also, Slavs Ukraine for setting the best example possible at the moment.

      I understand your feeling man. But if I may: don’t identify with the Russians, rather, learn from them.

      When you are feeling discouraged, look at them. They are showing us what happens when you give up. Let their failure to be decent humans be your warning. Stay politically involved.
