Thanks, this is an astute summary actually. They would care more if they thought their voices mattered, I think. You can absolutely see a form of resignation in their expression. They act as though they basically have no control over it, it's like 'it's not their issue'. I do however feel that they would be more empowered were they to get better information, particularly the 50+ crowd.
- thalassophobia 4y agoI don't think they will. I have all the information on this topic you can get but it doesn't matter since I can't do anything about it. At best I will not achieve anything, at worst I will get imprisoned and tortured, so what's the point in trying?
- thriftwy 4y agoYou seem to have a very benign definition of "worst". At worst, they are going to see their country collapse, a repeat of 1917, then misery and/or death of all people important to them. Because that's what people have in mind when you friendishly suggest them to 'topple' their government.
- thalassophobia 4y agoYou are correct if we're talking about somehow taking collective action, but I was talking from the perspective of a single person without a group they know well enough to start a revolution with. I think most people in Russia fit that description, at least all of the ones I know do.
