It’s always been a case of ‘if they can’t catch you/enforce it, it didn’t happen’.
It’s absurdly blatant now, however, and backlash is likely to be pretty crazy in 5ish-10ish years once it’s impacted enough people.
- zombot 8mo agoBy then the opposition will have been renditioned to black holes or killed.
- lazide 8mo agoThe current opposition maybe. No empire/government/strongman lasts forever.
- XorNot 8mo agoRussia has been a basket case for the better part of the last 1,000 years. History sucked for a very long time. It is not a natural law that things will just get better.
- lazide 8mo agoSure, but it is a natural law that the specific strongman in charge dies eventually. So far at least. Every tsar was different, Stalin and Lenin had their own flavors, etc. Sure it may suck, but the flavor does change? And that is something!
