Let’s return to the main point.
1. The Russians have completely lost it and are openly committing genocide, and the world doesn’t care.
Negotiations are worthless.
America is taken over by incompetents and is selling us out to the Kremlin.
The shy Brussels cucks can’t even help themselves.
Macron is being beaten by his wife.
Polish and Hungarian hyenas are waiting for their chance to pounce.
The Turks are self-serving.
Everything inside is falling apart, surrounded by idiots, and the multitasking Shmyhal is not limitless.
Russian troops are crawling forward over their own corpses, destroying all life.
Darkness. Cold. Endless war.
All that’s left is to hit your head against an icy radiator.
However.
2. Unexpectedly, let’s remember how sects are built.
A mandatory stage of pulling someone into a sect is enclosing their contacts, sources of information, and activities (actions) within the sect. This happens gradually. A person starts consuming information from a controlled flow, communicating with people reinforcing that information, spending their leisure time, work, etc., with these same people. And they end up in a rut.
Then this circle shrinks to the necessary size. Consciousness and routine are subjugated, breaking out on one’s own becomes nearly impossible, as there’s nothing to hold onto. There is not the slightest relief outside this contour, everything is under control. Will is suppressed.
So. The Russians continuously spin such a funnel intended to suck in as many people as possible into a downward spiral of hopelessness. The backdrop of despair is constantly maintained, and in the moments needed, acceleration and focus occur. Something bad happens – the howl intensifies so that consciousness runs in circles, endlessly reinforcing the most monstrous expectations.
This isn’t happening out of nowhere. It’s always based on real problems that we know and face every day. But the focus is performed in such a way that instead of seeking solutions and differentiating pros/cons/options, a heavy sense of hopelessness looms.
3. Experienced people have pointed out that the increasing hits on urban life support systems, among other things, solve an applied mental task.
They strike at the basic level of the human need pyramid. To shift the reactions of as many people as possible to the physiological level, minimizing social overlays. And already at the physiological level, to launch a survival program, but not collectively, rather at the expense of others. At the expense of the weaker, the less assertive, and those morally unprepared for such interaction.
Imagine for a second if the Russians succeeded in switching five cities – Kyiv, Kharkiv, Dnipro, Zaporizhzhia, and Odesa – to a mode of collective frenzy. How quickly would it all end?
But no.
4. The mistake Russians have made since 2022 is underestimating the properties and resilience of Ukraine’s social fabric.
Ukrainians possess a colossal experience of horizontal cooperation involving not only relatives (family) and close circle members but also people at a considerable distance.
Ukrainians are still prone to unwarranted trust. Being a jerk continues to be shameful. Therefore, despite all the obvious horror surrounding us, Ukraine has not yet collapsed. This surely perplexes the enemy.
Yes, the margin of resilience is dwindling. The elasticity and strength of the fabric are slowly crumbling. But the Kremlin’s plans remain unrealized. The enemy is beginning to feel the pain from continuing the war.
The situation is objectively very difficult, and I’ll try to analyze it by month’s end. But understanding the enemy’s tactics is a chance to build a defense.
Despite all the problems, try not to become feral. Don’t isolate yourself. Don’t be afraid to seek help. Help as much as you can. This has kept us standing.
Don’t lose touch with reality, don’t fall into illusions, but also don’t narrow your consciousness to a tiny rut. Keep windows open for escaping overwhelming routine. Give your mind a chance to stop and breathe. Use whatever available helps.
Maintain contact with people who can shake you up.
Russia is fighting against something it doesn’t understand, though it thought otherwise. They are greatly surprised.
And sooner or later, we will reassess ourselves.
