I think I should bulk order some Vodka and start learning some black humor.

I have a working-theory that alcohol consumption goes up under authoritarian states because (a) it's something that the person can control, and (b) it can sometimes deaden the pain of injustice.

So it might be a wise investment to bulk order vodka.
As for black humor… is coping mechanism, ja?

“Sharing” a bottle of vodka with your oppressive overlords can also lower their guard as you "enjoy" their camaraderie.

Of course, if you are drinking shots of water while they are drinking shots of vodka, you will soon have the upper hand in the situation.
