>>21620736>In a sense, yes. Any tragedy of this scale makes you closer with your tribe, even on a subconcious level. I do hate Putin for allowing this to happen thoughI have written about this. A lot of Russians, especially the young ones, despise Putin. Many young people in Serbia also disliked Milosevic.
But when people, the media and the propagandists write how you're dumb undeserving mongoloids, how you're not human, on and on and on, how every interaction with a Russian needs to be politicised, how "every Russian is gulity" for not deposing Putin single-handedly because he did something bad (When did Ukrainians depose Kravchuk for the bullshit around Transistria?).
What all this achieved is make Russians stand united either because of sheer contrarianism or because they simply have to - if foreigners think I am not a human, then I have to stick to my group.
I've also written above that when violence happens all normal men will have to side with their government, whatever they think of it. Perhaps not in wars like Ukrainian-Russian one, because Ukrainians can't do shit to vast majority of Russia, but if Russia loses this war somehow I don't think Russian government would survive very long, which would lead to internal chaos, collapse and overall a bad thing for the Russians.
Honestly, ignore all foreigners telling you if you should or shouldn't do something, they're pampered people that never had to decide or never seriously thought about it.
I too wish the Russian government had different stances on some things but for now you're stuck with it.
