"imperial ideology"
It's not ideology per se. Imeprialism is part of "national identity". Ideologies appear afterwards to explain and put it into words (because this is how the human brain works: no words = confusion, ambiguity, hesitation; words = common & unifying). But ideology in itself is only secondary/tertiary.

This kind of truncated posts. Most commonly happens when the headline/lede contains '&' sign.

I originate from a deeply vatnik environment, so to this is not a mystery. This is the other facet of the famous vatnik's "but what it has to do with me?"
MAGA didn't do this to people. Most people are like this to begin with. Preaching one things - but themselves doing something diametrically opposite.
I myself already forgot the words, but if you want to know more, ask psychologists or sociologists about conformism & conformist mentality and its numerous side-effects.

IMO. You have to be careful here. I often say "russians won't rebel" and there is reason for this.
(1) As with any conformist society, it's impossible to gauge when/how rebellion might happen. Unknowable, thus non-analytical quantity.
(2) The threat of rebellion ("smuta") is used by kremlin in its hybrid campaign against West, threatening with WW3 since "you won't know who'd get control over nukes".
Based on these points, saying "russians won't rebel" is valid (counter)narrative.

Austria can't "ban russian espionage" because to effectuate such ban would require functioning national security agencies, and Austrians tell me that the agencies (basically in the same state as German ones) handicapped, castrated and impotent.

The old (WW2?) anecdote had made a reappearance in Ukraine:
Soldiers burst into a russian town. Loot and steal everything. Rape everyone. Set buildings on fire. Then start running away. But mid step turn around and yell: "Save yourselves! Ukrainians are coming!"

Poles need to grow up, realize that the latin alphabet is missing required characters, and do what everybody else does to the latin alphabet: add the missing characters, and call it a "Polish alphabet".
P.S. It's quite trivial - compared to "Globus of Poland". 😉

@npub1vz5…qdta And this is the message to all the naysayers who said that russian S-300 is impotent and can't shoot down anything.

#Ukraine. Economist Timothy Ash:
"Why are Western tax payers paying for the costs of the war, while European politicians do everything possible to protect Russian assets in our jurisdictions. Russian tax payers seems to have more rights than our taxpayers. This should be a political scandal."

"it should be able to get more than bright enough ..." to also slowly burn through your retinas. Beware. But in the end it's your eyes, and you free to do with them whatever you want.
P.S. ~20y ago people have had similar discussions about why dark mode for the OSs was a stupid/etc idea.

@npub1p9k…865w Reflections make any professional work (that involves disproportionate amount of reading off screen) with the glossy displays hard and tiring. Pretty much all professional displays (incl few tablet model lines) have matte screens. (Pretty much only profession that likes glossy screens are the graphic designers (for color reproduction). And marketing. Because marketing like shiny things.)

Fun fact: most users won't see the message since they are apparently over the limit.
Fun fact #2. Musk' tweets gather thousand comments, thus simply clicking on the screened tweet (and thus making Twitter load the comment) might make you go over the limit.
