How generous to hand out peanuts.
Not to be a clit but the devaluation of Russias dollar. How much would that be in US terms?
Around half a monthly salary for the low wage jobs. Maybe even less than that.
So, a slap in the face. But watch them thank the tzar instead of reaching for the pitchforks.
Almost like they get the ruler they deserve.
On the flip side, it's difficult to build enough momentum to change things. Your last line can be used for virtually any of the political systems in the world. Even the "free" ones.
Much harder when any differences of opinion results in a "disappearance".
That is fair. I'm just disappointed with the amount of people who buy the government propaganda, but that's not a specifically russian problem.
Although when the government starts killing their neighbours justifying it "because they're gay nazis" - that's probably when the slightest bit of critical thinking should tell them that there's something wrong with the government and not their neighbours.
Disappearances will continue for as long as the state is enabled to do whatever. It would be very foolish to feel secure only because of staying silent. But to realise that would as well require some critical thinking.
