      MSGID: 1:18/200@fidonet 61f72ac1       PID: MBSE-FIDO 1.0.8 (GNU/Linux-x86_64)       CHRS: CP437 2       TZUTC: -0500       TID: MBSE-FIDO 1.0.8 (GNU/Linux-x86_64)        FGAZ 18-05 Page 4 14 Mar 2022                      2022 ...               Eventually Russia is going to do exactly as the Chinese did with Tibet        where the native polution was overwhelmed by an influx of Han-Chinese        and that way trying to destroy the age-old culture and traditions of        the Tibetans.               The same will happen in Ukraine, as a nation ... a people ... a        civilisation will be wiped-out. The country will be rebuilt by ethnic        Russians and hundreds of years of culture and civilisation will be        destroyed by the fire on pyres reminiscent of May 10 1933 when works        of Ernest Hemmingway, Bertold Brecht, Heinrich Mann, Ernst Glaeser,        Erich Kaestner, Erich Maria Remarque and others were deemed corrupted        and decadent presaging an era of state censorship and control of        culture.               In the end the so-called de-Nazification by Putin will be carried-out        by strictly Nazi methodologies and policies ...               To stay mentally healthy, you look for rational explanations. But        some things are inexplicable. Western culture in the decades since        the Second World War has tried to explain everything, to be tolerant        and always to understand the other. But sometimes the other is simply        evil. Pure and simple. We had forgotten the existence of that evil.        Now we see the outcome of that mistake.               It is unbearable to see war as a simple product of an insane mind.        There must be a plan behind it, it must mean something. Who sets up a        catastrophe with their own hands, just because they can?               There's an interesting book explaining how Hitler could continue his        horrible policies against his own population ... "Hitler's willing        executioners" ... Who will write its sequel "Putin's willing        executioners"?               Putin has noticed that his number of followers has dwindled in the        last two years, and does not know how to save his presidency in a        country that is largely integrated into the Western world. So he does        something so horrific that the whole world shuts itself off from him.        Then locks the door from the inside. People are arrested for standing        on the street with a blank sheet of paper in their hands, it is enough        to hold it and get beaten. Perhaps Putin will soon reach for an        Iranian or North Korean scenario. If the country is locked down,        explicit protest is almost impossible. Then every discourse, like the        minds of the people, will be divided into two versions, as in Soviet        times. You stick to the official story if they can see and hear you.        In addition, there is the story that is told within the family.               We need separate what is happening in Putin's head and what is        happening in Russia. Russia is not a collective brain. All polls, even        those of loyalist sociologists, clearly show that the country is not        united.               Support for the war varies in a country where people aren't exactly        open to a man with a microphone asking them what they think of Putin        or the war.                     --- MBSE BBS v1.0.8 (GNU/Linux-x86_64)        * Origin: Outpost BBS * Johnson City, TN (1:18/200)       SEEN-BY: 1/123 15/0 18/200 90/1 105/81 106/201 120/340 123/131 129/330       SEEN-BY: 129/331 153/7715 218/700 226/30 227/114 229/110 200 206 307       SEEN-BY: 229/317 400 424 426 428 664 700 240/5832 266/512 282/1038       SEEN-BY: 292/854 301/1 317/3 320/219 322/757 342/200 396/45 460/58       SEEN-BY: 633/280 712/848       PATH: 18/200 229/426           |
