You completely misunderstood me.
Everything I said is to say precisely that I don't blame the average American. I mean, I even talked about people generally, not Russians after the first sentence, and specifically said that I don't care for blame generally...
I don’t blame the average Russian for having Putin in power, I don’t blame the over-worked people who get sucked into brainwashing. If you expect people with worse resources to perform as well as you with better resources, then shouldn’t you expect even more of yourself? I don’t really care for blame generally.
