Idk I find Russia interesting for reasons Ill just copy paste from something else I sent.
>As I find myself reintigrating into society again post head injury and post being a shut in a remember exactly what got me so interested in Russian culture. Its that it mirrors American culture to an uncanny degree and is basically just what America will be in the future.
One where everyone knows what the media says is bullshit but just doesnt say anything because well? My belly is full and I have my phone and the worst apartment imaginable. Im doing alright.
Collapse doesnt look like a sudden sacking of Rome. It looks like 1991 and 93. Tanks rolling in the streets? Sure maybe for a few days. But the actual collapse itself? It looks like shelves being empty and your money being worthless. It looks like going to the store to buy a PC and being told you cant because all the parts on hand have been cannabalized to make drones to send into Ukraine. Its increasingly absurd propoganda claims that the masses seemingly believe but you dont know if its people genuinely believe it because theyre too brain broken by the world around them to think otherwise and lack critical thinking skills, or if they're just too scared to believe anything else. The sunk cost fallacy of ideology. Everyone is absorbed into these grand propoganda narratives and yet the world around them is so painfully boring.
It looks like being forced to make due in increasingly hostile systems. Have no food? Well time to start carrying around bolt cutters to get into trash cans because those are locked now. Can't get medical care? Time to learn how to make a splint at home.
