    When politics fail on an epic scale, when politicians rather do nothing but drive off voters, the extremists rise.

      The thing is that Russia for years has had their fingers on the scales to one degree or another in most of the countries it considers to be “adversaries” (read: any country in the EU or NATO) in various manners both illegal and technically legal, and we just haven’t done a fucking thing about it.

        That’s the thing with the image of an enemy: it’s like a habit, apparently, and it’s the easy way to control people: over fear. I want to believe that we all on this insignificant planet (on cosmic scale) will overcome that at one point and grow up a little bit. As humans, not as a member of that anachronistic idea of nations.
