Quote HistoryQuoted: * moves to Dresden in 1937 “Strong leadership and traditional culture here, so long suckers” More like *moves to Russia in 1916* "Last of the Absolute Monarchs, God Bless Stability and Tradition!" It will be interesting what happens when Putin goes (can't live forever). Turmoil and Chaos? Regression? Progression? Jordan Peterson had an interesting take on his video about "Civil War in the West". Paraphrase "The current Russian Government and Putin are terrible, truly, but they are the least terrible Russia has had in 500 years". |

Quote HistoryQuoted: ... It will be interesting what happens when Putin goes (can't live forever). Turmoil and Chaos? Regression? Progression? . This is huge. Most modern people living in countries with stable democratic institutions have little appreciation for the possible drama that is a transition of power where things are more... personality based, as was so much human history before. We get so bored here, we have to invent drama. Everyone thought he was grooming Medvedev. But, while he's been a good little lapdog lately, it's not clear how effectively he'd be able to move in and control all the levers. |

Strong authoritarian regimes can go a couple ways when the dictator hits the deck. They can become like Tito's Yugoslavia or Castro's Cuba. The first fragmented after a bloody civil war and the second managed to transition the power to a family member. Russia had its share of authoritarian/dictatorship leaders. The Tsar did not have a good ending and a civil war ensured. However, when Stalin died, things weren't so bloody for the population in general. Same in China when Mao hit the deck. There's plenty bloodshed among the leadership, though. It will be interesting to see what happens to Russia after Putin. They probably will have someone lined up, like the CCP in China. On the other hand, "democratic" regimes like the US tend to perpetuate the gangs in power by giving the illusion that the population can choose its leaders. We already saw that it's not like that. It will be interesting to see what will happen here when the gangs in power run out of people to steal the money from and have to come up with some different stories. |

to get to the top in Russia or any other dictatorship just select a few trustworthy people to kill anyone who opposes you.

So we got our property tax bill today. Our house cost about $205,000 back in 2021. Due to the stronger ruble, it would cost us $250,000 now if we paid the same price.
Our property tax bill is 4237 rubles. That's about $70.62 for the year. |

It seems that each country deals with "illegal rallies" in different ways. Here in the US the participants are sent to solitary confinement, persecutions, induced to suicides, etc. In Canada they are also jailed, their bank accounts frozen, businesses' licenses revoked, etc. In China they are sent to forced labor camps, organ harvesting, etc. In Venezuela they are expelled and sent to the US in those long "migrant caravans". Maybe the latter gives "troublemakers" the best option. It's the classic pick your poison.  |

Don't forget how a certain regime openly helping a regime that "Putin does not like" has several politicians that continuously praised some of those in that list of "Putin's buddies". And this same regime has several politicians in the pockets of an organization openly defending that regime that "Putin does not like". Just "coincidences"? Because that makes one suspect that they are all buddies. |

So much Russian freedom...
Miss Crimea fined by Russian officials for singing patriotic Ukrainian song Olga Valeyeva and a friend were charged with “discrediting” the Russian armed forces amid the Kremlin’s war in Ukraine after they appeared in a video posted to Instagram singing “Chervona Kalyna,” the Moscow Times reported. They also were accused of “promoting extremist symbols” for singing the anthem of Ukrainian resistance. Valeyeva was fined 40,000 rubles ($677) and her friend was sentenced to 10 days behind bars for the performance, according to the news outlet. Six other people were recently arrested or fined for playing “Chervona Kalyna” at a wedding reception in Crimea, which Russia annexed from Ukraine in 2014, the Moscow Times said. |

Cynical propagandists for unfree and closed societies will always try to leverage those to distract from the fundamental rot hidden in their own systems. Even worse, sometimes they'll go as far as to leverage the openness of those societies to exacerbate internal political divisions. It's completely predictable, and nothing new. The only thing you can't always predict is who falls for the tactics. |
