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.
Interesting, but won’t help me personally. The account was erased.
All other services were like: ok, we cannot process your payment due to the war. This one yielded a bizarre message about how I am complicit with Russian army’s atrocities in Ukraine and therefore they delete my account till the end of March 2022
Like okay, Spotify you made your political statement, but does it somehow affect the actual political situation? I admire some Russian piracy sites that replaced advertisements with cinematics from Bucha and links to volunteers that helped Ukrainians to move to Europe through Russia
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
There is an external definition of “progressive” though, part of which is all about minorities rights
I don’t like it. It’s wishful thinking that history progresses in the direction you want.
In contrast, I mean that history is progressing towards more people like Putin and more regions like Russia.
Putin himself may be more of an opportunist and simply uses people and even the whole country as a means towards his own ends of personal gratification
Because I used to be involved in a tiny bit of it.
Don’t get me wrong, they are a beautiful invention in the intersection of physics and engineering. But the algorithms that people are interested in were executed only on ion computers… which are not that great in the sense of scaling. The supercubit quantum computers, which you are probably talking about, are only good for stimulating themselves for a fraction of a second. And don’t make me start to talk about neutral atoms, NV centers and “liquid light” platforms.
The only good they are making is sucking money for fundamental physics from big cats like google, amazon, putin and ccp
