In Russia people don't want to die for someone else ambitions, in the West people who are quiet quitting don't want to overwork themselves for someone else ambitions...

Trust in bosses and apex figures is plummeting all over the world.

This isnt true. They dont want do die for their own ambitions. Cars on Finland/Georgian borders have marks from ripped off Z stickers. The meager protests across russia with usually more press than protesters arent about the war but mobilization. War was perfectly fine as long as someone else was fighting it. This is very dangerous because russia might internally sell using nukes as saving lives of true russians.

>Kirill, who is half-Ukrainian, said he cannot imagine going to war and killing Ukrainians. "I will not be able to explain my actions to relatives who are in Ukraine. We talk every day," he said.

You didnt saw Kirill protesting the war before mobilization.

For the record: I merely downdooted it.

I'm pretty pro-Ukraine, but Russophobia just hurts everyone. Personally, even if a Russian person doesn't care about Ukrainians, between the dangerously suppressive regime that person lives under and their probable position in Maslow's hierarchy of needs, I can find enough charity to relate to them and not see them as evil.

This is not about russophobia, I have plenty of Russian friends and have respect for the culture - though I think that every intelligent Russian left years ago, or at least between March and now.

This is about avoiding having the kind of people who will scream "THIS WILL BE RUSSIA ONE DAY TOO" into your face at your hometown (not an unusual thing before the war). People are being turned back to Russia now because they don't even peel off the Z signs from their cars...

There's too many of them now to sort properly - so sorry, but we can't take them. We offered humanitarian visas to anybody before now, they should've thought about where this is going.
