@kravietz the people are the victim of every war. Putin decided to invade Ukraine, not the Russian people.
As much as I support Ukraine defending themselves and I hope they win, I find that rejoicing because people are terrified of drone attacks is sick, no matter the nationality of said people.
@FelisCatus Oh come on. The same poor people who are terrified in Novorossiysk would be happy to spent their summer times in Crimea and proudly wear CCCP t-shirts. Sorry, but I don't buy this shit that russians are good but only the president is bad.
You don’t need “100% Russians” to sustain a war, sorry - that’s a straw man.
It’s sufficient that majority supports the regime - which is already the case in Russia - or at least majority displays a total moral nihilism, which you also have in Russia.
I very much recommend “Eichmann in Jerusalem” by Hannah Arendt for a more in-depth analysis of this phenomenon in the context of WW2. Everything we witness now has already happened 80 years ago.
If you find Russians who do finally recognise the nihilism of their compatriots, they will often employ an ultimate argument - “it’s because hundreds of years of oppression, the Mongol Horde, the Ivan the Terrible and then Stalin”.
But when you fall a victim of a violent crime, do you really care what made the perpetrator commit it - is it a mental problem, childhood oppression or whatever?
No, at that point you simply want the person attacking you stop doing that, because you are the victim at the risk of losing your life. And you will employ any means to prevent the attack, leaving interpretation of the mental state of the attacker to the intellectuals of the world in their armchairs.
