I fantasize about cutting ears and shoving it in one's mouth

Let me first address the accusations of me accusing you being emotional and whatever. We're having a respectful conversation I hadn't hoped to have it in the first place. I don't like your views, I may only sympathize with you. Thanks for that.

The hate you are talking about is not inherently inside Russia's population. This hate is channeled by propaganda. As with Georgians and Turks: there were periods where everyone hated them, now they are friends. Fingers crossed the same will happen with ukranians soon, but I lost any hope that it will be reciprocal. Still, it is and will remain for decades a problem for the world.

how and when will russia change from its current state?

The current state is perpetual but silent war that exists, but somewhere far from themselves. The government finds this state to be the most favorable to them, but it draws a line between the government and the economic elites. I'd give it five to twenty years to resolve. No more than Putin's lifespan, but also it should be resolved by the upcoming Third World War.

But the question itself contains a subtle implication. You think that Russia is a threat to the world or neighbors because how easy it starts the war with its neighbors and how violent its rhetoric. While I agree, I would also add to this the efficiency of Russian government, if by efficiency we define the government's capability to save and multiply the resources of the very rich. My biggest fear is that other countries will implement the similar approaches.

If I was speeding around without a helmet because I hated my life and wanted to die to get away from my responsibilities I think I'd be more likely to call that behavior "suicidal".

Russian here and here how it will probably go.

I would emigrate and work against my country of origin in a heartbeat if they started a war of aggression (hello Russians) - unchanged from before

You will emigrate and either work with a charity organization that helps refugees from the other side (often refusing help to your nationality because they are Orks) or you will start helping the military on the other side, which would seem righteous to you until this military starts to neglect collateral damage.

I used to work in a charity that helps refugees here in Georgia. I still donate but I was unable to comprehend the very people that we were helping up calling me an occupant.

When Ukraine started shelling and droning Belgorod, many of my Russian friends stopped military donations.

I would support with my medical and other skills those defending a non-aggressive country I live in

That's actually what will happen, yes. Rally 'round the flag effect is real and those of my acquaintances who happened to be communists in Ukraine have been supporting the military and Zelensky given the communism is banned in Ukraine.

I might fight, given no other choice. But I would try everything else first, and I would probably not be good at it (fighting) at all.

And you will either end up with PTSD, screaming in the middle of the night, or dead. Don't do it unless you really believe that you are fighting for things that are more important than you yourself.

You know, I often think that Putin is a progressive politician. Just the meaning of progress that exists in the society differs to the one that is in the reality

You can say it like this, or you could've just written one word...

Assuming a user is a root, can this user create a file that couldn't be read or deleted by other roots? ....by the same user?

If you are determined enough, it's not that slow 😉

Not like it started with capitalism, these 3 have drastically changed under capitalism. Our only hope is that they will change further under techno-feudalism into something less devastating
