Looks like Russia won the ideological war and will be exporting authoritarianism to the globe.
The main thing to remember about authoritarians is that none have ever been documented to be impervious to small pieces of metal moving at high speed.
It's too soon to say conclusively that they all aren't though, additional testing is required.
Note to self: before becoming dictator, develop natural immunity to small arms fire. Begin with BB gun?
You'll shoot your eye out.
Only once, before the immunity kicks in
Well at least the reality denial is checked.
I know my system works, otherwise I wouldn’t be immune to your criticism
It might happen twice, but that's the max, I'm pretty sure.
Twice*
surprisingly enough, they are in fact physically just like us: just meat
But they are known to dodge pretty well and only get nicked in the ear 😕
Surprisingly enough, it doesn't really stop them from trying, it only stops individual occurrences. And if the piece of metal only grazes, it often invigorates and galvanizes them
An additional note: for all the people who advocate this approach, very few have actually gone through with it. Perhaps it'd be more successful if all the people who advocate for it actually did it instead of trying to get other people to do it for them.
Are windows in too?
This isn't a nationalist idea .... the oligarchs have won and are exporting authoritarianism to the globe. Most or the majority of people everywhere just want to have a peaceful life whether they are in the US, Russian, China or anywhere on the globe ... it's oligarchs and wealthy morons that think they can manipulate everyone, everywhere all the time and allow them to become rulers of the universe.
i'll have you know that social contract that formed in russia after 90s looks just like that: citizens fuck off from politics in return for some prosperity. every time when russian state expected that that won't last due to things like 2008 crisis or covid or what have you, they started a war as a distraction and to rally around the flag some nationalists. now they're on 4th attempt, this one was due to post-covid recession. difference is, this time they were high on their own supply of propaganda and planned accordingly. they also can't back down because they see it as a weakness, and that would mean a coup
fuck
Nahhhh according to the tankies of .ml, Russia is just trying to export humanity-saving peace, love and socialism but has just been continuously beaten down by the big bad US :(
They been exporting since the 80'with trump
