Due to Peter I's mistakes in 1917.

Alexey, please correct it to refer to Nicholas II. The theory is interesting.

Who knows? We can’t answer that now.

Maybe we should just rename the topic to "Philosophy"?:)

Are games evil?! Seriously? Do they make teenagers go out into the streets and attack everyone, and make teachers afraid to enter classrooms?
I'm sorry, but did Hitler also play games? And did members of the KKK, after playing GTA, start proving the superiority of white people? Did Stalin play SimCity and decide to create a mega-tyranny? Did kings play strategy games and attack each other?
You might as well say that quests about Egypt mess with people's minds, shooters make people pick up weapons, and racing games cause accidents...

Actually, racing has caused a lot of accidents...

Actually, racing games have caused many accidents...

Of course, it's easier to find one thing to blame for everything than to look for many causes.

Knight is right. The same thing happens with the Jews... You can accuse them of anything, because "they killed Christ." So what? The same goes for Russia... You blame the Jews for everything!!! They, they say, "ruined Russia." Yes, it's always easier to find a scapegoat than to look at yourself... All the wars of mankind stem from the UNWILLINGNESS to blame OURSELVES for our troubles.

You are right about that. After all, what is nationalism? It's exactly this: (:(:(

About Peter I. It was his policy of transforming Russia into a European country that created an ethnic chimera. The upper and lower classes of society considered the opposing group to be foreign, rather than another class within their own state. This ultimately led to the revolution of 1917. Nicholas II simply failed to change the national policy, and in essence, his guilt is much less.
About the games. I completely agree with Knight. We shouldn't look for only one cause for all events. Everything depends on each individual person, and on the age of the ethnic group as a whole.
About nationalism. It is necessary to distinguish between true nationalism (patriotism and love for one's own) and false nationalism (chauvinism and hatred of others). The concepts are not identical.

I meant hatred.

And this is a very big problem. Chauvinists disguise themselves as patriots, and patriots are equated with chauvinists. An atmosphere of deception and general distrust is spreading in society. In principle, it is a natural process. Russia is dying.
I just heard some news: Moscow has decided to build a direct gas pipeline to China through the Altai Plateau of Ukok. This is how Siberia will become a Chinese province.

Soon, the entire country will be sold off in pieces.

I wouldn't be surprised if Bloody Sunday repeats itself soon.

It won't happen again. There's no one to take to the streets. Although I would go out to defend my homeland. Soon, I will start collecting signatures against the construction of this gas pipeline.

I'm sorry... but when so many millions of dollars are at stake, no one cares about your signatures.

What a shame... Personally, I'm surprised how these people don't feel any remorse:confused:
