    I wish people would remember that Random Russian Conscripts != Putin and Gang. Imagine living in a fucked up oligarchic kleptocracy and it’s your 16th birthday and you’re thinking about your girlfriend the test tomorrow and maybe moving to America to get away from it all when you graduate and suddenly you find out it’s your turn to get fed to the meat grinder. There are standing orders to shoot you if you attempt to flee to the safety of enemy hands.

    Young Gregorvitch, why did you choose to be born in this place at this time, you piece of teenage garbage? You should have made better pre-life decisions.

    I hope we never become truly FTL space-capable unless we breed this seemingly necessary hate of “the other” out of ourselves. Imagine the havoc we would wreck on the universe with all the “others” out there.
