Therefore, we can only believe that progress will someday move things forward, even if slower than expected. After all, it is normal for Russia to alternate authoritarian bouts with liberal ones.

Google the term “kitchen politics.” Since the days of the USSR, most people discuss politics only in the kitchen. Because of the old belief that the kitchen was the only place where the KGB couldn't listen to you, lmao. After the advent of the Internet, the term “couch troops” appeared, as people replaced the kitchen with forums and chats.

I am too young to make predictions about how such conflicts or the careers of such politicians will end. But if I know something in history, then I think that his successor will organize a new “thaw” to calm people and the world, allowing them to believe in the “changes of the new regime.” Read about Medvedev's "nanotechnological" period before he became the Russian McCain. Hype regime, detente in relations with the West and emphasis on popular technologies. True, then it ended with the war in Georgia, but that’s a separate conversation. The problem with any reforms in Russia is that there are so many conservative restrictions that when someone starts liberal reforms, it excites too many radical and eccentric people on all sides. As it was said in one article about the 90s, “at one moment everything became available.”

It was really popular in the USSR. To such an extent that our psychiatrists came up with the diagnosis of “sluggish schizophrenia” in order to hospitalize any people whose views or behavior could embarrass some officials. For example, one director, apparently Parajanov, served several years in prison because of his words in defense of LGBT people. But the current government is so concerned about reputation that it works using other methods. For example, organizing a state cancel culture, spinning any scandals at lightning speed.


There is always a possibility. But they are saved by Putin’s still fairly high popularity. If they see some kind of risk, then they simply deny the person candidate status. The “Stalin method” works here, which can be described as “if you have a person, there will always be a some law to punish him.”

Russia is not as totalitarian in the sense of the word that you think about. It’s just that the idea of ​​politics has been so devalued in the country over these 33 years that it is carried out in Russia either by people with delusions of grandeur or by fanatics who worship their homeland as God, as De Gaulle said. Therefore, starting from the 00s, any elections actually turn into a complete formality. Also, do not forget that young people here hardly go to the polls, so a significant part of the votes belongs to nationalist-minded people over 35-40 years old. Can you guess whose electorate they are?

There are no such problems in Russia, because due to conflicts between Putin’s opponents, he simply does not have rivals with sufficient popularity.

I wonder how Macron became president if until now I have not met a single Frenchman who loves him. Neither right nor left.

You don't like that liberals are more obsessed with the victory of liberals than with the victory of liberal ideas?

I just didn't expect to see you criticizing liberals.

Hello! So who do you think you are? Right or left?

Yep, top of the world, cheap, efficient, and well connected super easy to understand... and somehow me and my cousins still managed to get lost on the MRT lines 🦑

Btw talking about cousins who are 1/2 singaporean 1/2 sweedish, i tried to make a diagram of the unnecessarily long rout we took to get to the wrong stop and showd my other cousin (100% asian), and her respons was that it was beyond her comprehention, we unfortunately really live up to the dumb foreigner sterotype

Later that night my aunt (cousins mom) who we had to meet after the very long MRT ride asked me how i was getting home, and i just causually said "it's fine, i go home by MRT" and she quickly went "NO!! I'll call you a taxi", completely lost trust of babysitting my cousins or myself xD


Speaking of dumb foreigner stereotype... because asia has different regulations than EU, in asia you can get real superglue, which unlike the crappy stuff we get here sticks to everything, dries in an instant, and is waterproof, so i needed superglue, went to the shop down the road from my grand-aunt's place, opened the superglue, made the superglue explode in my hands, 5 min later i was back in the shop, hands covered in superglue, and i mean covered, like i was wearing superglue gloves, asking "i need superglue remover", the shoplady's unimpressed expression very obviosly saying "of course you do"


Not really difficult, but because most of it is government housing the estates usually has 2 pet (or even 1) per household policy

That's cool :) Are you close to your extended family?


Singapore definitely works better than italy lol

But i don't think i'd be able to take 365 days a year of summer, despite the humidity making it a bit more bareble

I'm not really sure where i'd choose to live in the future, i kinda just go with the flow, and rn it's italy cuz i got 5 cats here


The food 🤤

One thing i do love about both irland and the UK which is kinda lacking in italy is thrift stores, i don't think there's ever been a trip where i haven't fallen for the temptation of stocking up on DVDs and VHSs for 50 cents each


Yeah, singapore official languages english, hokkien, malay, and tamil

Actually, it's the singapore family meetings which are craziest, as my grandma has 15 brothers and sisters, so lots of grand-aunties/uncles leads to lots of aunties and uncles leads to lots of cousins 😁


Couple of times, but so far only been to dublin


Nah, i'm only fluent in english and italian, and with the amount of anime i watch i understand japanese better than chinese xD

I only know 3 words in hokkien (singapore chinese dialect)

Ta-pao = take-away

Kam-sia = thank you

and



Oh wait... 4 words

Pang-sai = poop

And i know some singapore slang

The best phrase of all is this:

Blur like sotong = stupid

Sotong is malay for squid and apparently squids are stupid unlike their octopus cousins

100th synopsis for MAL Rewrite!

You're good at guessing what I believe and don't believe in, which means you may already have a rough idea of what I'll say next.

And that brings me to the end of our conversation <3

Actually 100% agree with this take

Also despite what Tsukasa says about "the strong survive" things like that, knowing his backstory it's pretty obvious there's a lot more neuance to his thought process


Technically i'm 1/4 italian, 1/4 british, 1/4 irish, 1/4 singaporean

And like the british and irish i'm way more adapt to the cold than the heat, but like the italians i don't burn under the sun, and like the singaporeans i'm more adapt to humid weather than dry weather
