    Hunh.

    • decades of authoritarian regime? ✅
    • irrational dependence on fossil fuels ✅
    • propaganda indiscernible from journalism ✅
    • internal politics fueled by corruption, greed, hate ✅
    • gen pop pitted against each other to boiling point ✅
    • secret “police”, silencing political rivals & dissenters, etc… ✅✅✅

    Yep. Sounds about right. Who else could that be except the former USSR? 🤷🏼‍♂️ Good thing everyone’s learned that lesson and we can move forward as a fucking species, eh?

      Who else can it be today, russia (or any of the dictatorships in CRINK)? But they put other countries populations against each others, not their own population which is silenced.
