Finally, people are writing about real issues, not about the nonsense of some random person. :) Things have improved overall, yes, I agree, but only because oil prices are high. The economy still isn't working, and many businesses have closed down over the past 20 years. Government institutions, courts, businesses, bribes, lawlessness, police, criminals – all of this makes me feel sick, to be honest. I don't know what to do. I don't want a revolution, but it's also shameful to live like this. Maybe we need to start with ourselves, not with the government. There is an alternative to Putin; look for it on the internet.

If we start with ourselves, then in Russia, the best option has always been to move abroad. But personally, I don't have that opportunity yet, only in the future. And I'm already starting to be afraid that soon it will be impossible. Putin will create an iron curtain, and the Soviet era will return.
Finally, they started writing about real issues, not about the ramblings of some madman. Things are generally better now, yes, I agree, BUT only because oil prices are high. The economy still isn't working, and many enterprises have closed down over the past 20 years. Government institutions, courts, business, bribes, lawlessness, police, bandits – all of this makes me feel sick, to be honest. I don't know what to do. I don't want a revolution, but it's also shameful to live like this. Maybe we need to start with ourselves, not with the authorities. There is an alternative to Putin; look for it on the internet.
Well, in general, that's true; the root of the problem lies in the courts. If they were made honest and independent, 90% of the problems would disappear on their own. But in today's reality, that sounds like a utopia – how can you judge your own people? And further, friends, relatives, acquaintances – everything is resolved according to unwritten rules; one protects another. It's all tied to that group that the guy from Hermitage Capital talked about – as long as they exist, there won't be fair courts, and that's the problem. And no one can give an answer to what to do about it. Only in the long term can we try to change something.

First, you need to change the ruling faction here.
What are you arguing about? A normal candidate, fair elections...
What matters is not how people vote, but how those votes are counted :D
Yes, the vote counting is just a joke, our "national pride," you could say. The only solution is strict control at the local level, which should primarily be carried out by local party branches. In the previous elections, they simply kept quiet, literally. And then, people uniting – secondly, gathering, checking, making copies, etc. The previous elections were a disgrace. And most importantly, there is no one to appeal to. This is what dictatorship is.

If you really want to understand what is happening in the country right now, you don't need to read blogs (they are always biased), just raise your head, tear your ass off the chair, and take a walk through your city, look at your home, street, and people. Are they suffering? Far from it. Right now, a very clear picture is emerging toward general softening; people have become well-fed, for the most part, there's no place to park cars, local lawlessness has almost completely disappeared, drug addiction has been defeated (I say this as someone who came to Tyumen in 2000 and lived in the same entrance as a drug den), beer stalls have been removed (replaced by flower shops, in our city), advertising of cigarettes and alcohol has been banned, even not the wealthiest people can afford to go abroad once a year, many government institutions have become noticeably faster and better, salaries are not delayed, all kinds of state subsidies actually work (young family subsidies, for example), and much, much more. All this happened during the reign of our great and terrible one. Of course, there are downsides, there are moments that simply make you ashamed for Mother Russia (and I don't know how to fight this), but, if we look the truth in the eye, life has become better
Unfortunately, this is the primitive thinking of an ordinary person. Let me give an example: if you sell your apartment, you might well be able to live excellently for some time. But a smart person would hardly seriously believe that your well-being has grown. Your argument is the joy of selling an apartment. The rights of men, women, and citizens are not empty words or ephemeral things, understand that. They are the guarantee of development and progress. And moving downward is the path to a voluntary (albeit selective) prison. What are the prospects of today's satiety? It seems obvious to me that a generation of primates is being purposefully bred right now. As Ariputra quoted the fake "so-called A. Dulles plan" — that here would be the most rebellious people. Alas, no. 700 years of slavery have not passed without a trace, and this slavish way of life and thinking is now being desperately cultivated. Blogs are biased? Wake up, you simpleton. They are written by people just like you and me, only some of them also have some knowledge.

Well, Oelm is as always in his style, resorting to personal attacks, but when it comes to substance - it's a failure. I wrote about what I see and what I face directly, I listed the things that have changed for the better. I know who Navalny is, and in many ways, it was because of him that I became interested in all this; before, I didn't care, just like the other 99% of the population. I don't sit at home 24/7, reading opposition blogs and engaging in kitchen politics, waving my fists - that's not my thing; I only realized this when I got directly involved. I was disgusted by all this showmanship, by the powerlessness of the opposition, by the "Nashi" - monkeys, and by the opposition members who were not much better than them. I went to a rally after the parliamentary elections, and what I saw there - this simple people, who would be happy to do something but didn't know how and what, and I didn't see a single representative from other parties there, NOT A SINGLE ONE - they simply didn't need it, and then I wondered, what are we trying to achieve? Who should we vote for? For these old geezers? But they can't and don't want to do anything anymore. And then I made a firm decision - to give up. I am amused by the whiners who haven't lifted a finger and won't, and who can't offer anything useful, but whose "minds are boiling with indignation." All blogs are biased, my dear, well-informed friend, because they clearly position themselves as "opposition" or the opposite. I have read only a few articles that were relevant, without anger or indignation, claiming to be objective, as far as I could judge. Everything else is either black or white.
What are your suggestions for changing the current situation in politics and in the country in general? (Although, who am I talking to, oh my god :D)

Well, I see that your mind is troubled. Yes, in other words, giving up is also a choice, but it shouldn't be presented as a heroic one. What we have now that is good is largely a result of the 1990s. The real year of Putin's results – 2019-2020 – will be after the Olympics and the World Cup. I don't understand what Navalny and the people at the march have to do with it. I simply have certain information, based on which I formed my opinion, and of course, it won't be shared here.

Well, I didn't expect any other answer. You have one pattern of behavior on any topic.
I want to say that it's incredibly boring to discuss what exists, to analyze and categorize it; it's a well-trodden path, at least for me. It's much more interesting to hear an answer like "what to do" or "how to act," even in general terms. But of course, this isn't the right place to ask that.
Okay, I'm out. :smile36:

I want to say that it's incredibly boring to discuss what already exists, to analyze and categorize it – it's a well-trodden path, at least for me. It's much more interesting to hear an answer to the question "what to do" or "how to act," even if only in general terms.
Simply expressing one's opinion is the only effective way to fight against bad game design.
Well, of course, I didn't expect any other answer. You have one pattern of behavior for any topic.
Well, I wouldn't really enjoy discussing your prophetic abilities, which may not even exist, and the turnover was just thrown in for effect.
The question of what to do depends on the ability to do something. If you are sitting in a manure pit, what can you do to improve the life of the country? The question of what to do is, unfortunately, as idiotic as it is textbook. Ask yourself what you CAN do, and maybe you should try to work specifically on that. (You, in this context, is an abstract address).
Go outside, look around, left and right. Or at least go to Germany, look around there, left and right. Maybe then something will become clearer.
From Winston Churchill:
"These Russians are unpredictable. They starved their peasants.
They flooded the most fertile lands to build power plants.
They polluted fertile areas with waste from the nuclear industry.
They have a low population density, but even so, they managed to pollute their country so much that now they are forced to buy grain.
I thought I would die of old age. But when Russia, which fed all of Europe with bread, began to buy grain, I realized that I would die of laughter.
Stalin took an agrarian country and turned it into a raw material appendage and a nuclear landfill.
Only Lenin (most likely, W.C. had little information about V. Lenin) could have led the Russians out of the swamp into which he himself led them. But Lenin was successfully poisoned.
In a couple of generations, they will degrade even further and will not be able to independently even extract useful minerals.
The people will die out, and the dictators and their servants will live, buying luxury goods from us and selling concessions to neighboring countries; this is the most profitable business for Russian leaders.
So, if we can prevent their military aggression, then it is in the interests of Great Britain, and indeed of other Western European countries, to keep the USSR going for as long as possible: it is a profitable raw material base and a good market for the sale of morally obsolete products.
They are destroying cybernetics and genetics in their country - the better for us, we will sell them seeds and electronic devices.
In addition, nuclear waste can be sold to Russia for a nominal fee.
It is enough to stop Soviet expansion, and they will destroy themselves without any active actions on our part... "

I repeat, start with yourself and your friends.
And it's not even funny anymore to talk about the USSR. Many people are left with nothing but to slander the great country and falsely claim that there was no agriculture or science.

Well, yes. You either speak well of the deceased, or you say nothing at all.
