Watching Russian pro-democracy activist Vladimir Milov, this is exactly what he saw happening in his country from 1999 onwards. Putin started muzzling the media, the courts, oblast (aka state) power, the major corporations, Duma’s Lower House, and people started self-censoring themselves and even adopting the positions of the new sheriff-in-town in advance, without making meaningful protests against the autocratic trends.
Milov said as early as the transition period, from November 2024 onwards, that visiting Washington, he had a very bad deja vu of his own experience in Russia during 1999 and 2000, that democracy started to be dismantled, yet people were relaxed and not fully aware of the gravity of what was going on, believing the country’s institutions were too strong. More recently, Milov has started receiving responses saying “Oh my God, you were right, we should have listened to you and resisted him more! We do have something to learn from Russia’s experience! This is horrible!”

This is bullshit:
>University presidents are largely silent because they are protecting their institutions, said Ted Mitchell, the president of the American Council on Education. “Don’t wrestle with a pig,” he said. “You’ll just get muddy and annoy the pig.”
The line is “you both get dirty and the pig likes it.”

Cowardice is capitulation
These unbelievably stupid motherfuckers. Complying in advance brings about the situation they fear faster.
I don’t know that good times inherently create weak men, but we sure as shit have. American culture is legitimately degenerate.
