Sorry for talking my russian head out there. There’s just no community fitting it yet.
With so much budget spent on army (30%+?) and syphoned by rich leeches (another %), and everyone fucking knowing and accepting that, I still can’t wrap my head why vatniks oppose the idea of them that much it’s even less acceptable than giving off territories or ending this war, they are too pissed at just the concept of paying them. At this point I think goind back and rebuilding your country is just so economically cheaper than dragging that bloody circus any longer. It won’t return many lives lost, it won’t magically fix anything, no veteran would wake up without their PTSD. It’s just paying some part of what already stolen from us to build mansions, yachts, would never amount to the restoration we owe, of all these oil money. The only problem are these thieves, who no one here can personally relate to or just understand what even a million dollars of wealth really is. Not many people ever held more than 100k rubles in their hands, and they are now just funny papers. What’s their problem?
Is it just a hate-bonner for everything west and you too, that it can somehow defames us? Like, aren’t lacking basic utilities, having beaten roads for years, wasting pupil’s time to propaganda hours in schools are any better? I don’t consider even having a child before I escape that place, that can randomly send me fighting for the dead gramp’s ambitions and killing people who I worked with and befriended. How leaving, paying and starting to finally fix our own problems can be worse that that?
I want to hear you opinions on why that’s even a problem. Is it that this mystical slave mentality left from soviet times and never unlearnt, a well built media screen of patriotism propaganda, or some genuine national self-hatred? What this Lemmy instance thinks?
'Tis not a question I felt like I would ask many years before. I feel like I slept over many signs before the 2022 started. And my standing on the square was completely naive to what speeds this process had.
You can just say if it’s not welcome here. Guess, not many care about what can happen to this dead state, but still.
I try, and I will try. It’s just even with Gen Z somehow disconnected from all of that, I don’t feel it’d happen in my lifetime. Their parents and grandparents still intoxicate them with these ideas, wish to sacrifice them for the greater promised glory and a point of pride for themselves, like they didn’t see them grow, making first steps, like they are not even related to them. Sorry, I’m irrational and full of hatred. I just can’t get over it. And I can only hope for that to change.
