Humanity is depraved. And unfortunately not in the fun, sexy way here. 😔

I'll never understand why people line up to follow evil fucking morons promising to destroy their lives and the lives of everyone else for no gain.

But I'm sitting here living through it any-fucking-way.

    Opportunity, greed, fear, hate. Take your pick, they're all relevant.

    I lived in Russia as a child and later as a teenager. Life in many places there can be hard. Politicians and officials have often taken advantage of that.

    Propaganda aside, dictators who promise reliable food water shelter and security tend to do well in places where life is hard.
