“Ukraine to be told it is too corrupt to join Nato”
.,,Was a story published before the NATO summit (2 July), about what NATO was “supposed” to say at the summit.
But what they “actually” said in the official communique from the summit, was that Ukraine is on an “irreversible path” to NATO membership and pledged to maintain a baseline of roughly $43 billion in annual support to Kyiv.

SVO. The inconsistencies of the SVO “dragged on” for two and a half years and, in fact, “broke” both dominant views on it, providing everyone who wanted it and who didn’t want it with “irrefutable evidence” that relying on the systems of stereotypes familiar to people in this ...
SVO. Insight
You can’t be deceived forever. Constant discrepancies between the expected (based on one’s own stereotypes ) and the actual (which does not fit into the stereotypes even under pressure) lead a person to a crisis similar to neurosis: a state of unbearable anxiety, continuous frustration, constant emotional stress, all this is expressed in the accumulation of anger and aggression that is difficult to contain.
Since in our society most people are in a state of such a crisis, “social” ways of dealing with it are extremely difficult - people literally have no one to share their emotions with.
Ultimately, something like catharsis occurs: the system of ideas about the world and the stereotypes that determine perception is suddenly restructured so that all traumatic inconsistencies disappear. Anger and aggression spill out onto one’s own previous ideas about the world and their carriers. “Epiphany” comes.
Conditional “patriots” suddenly realize that:
➖ Russia as a great power has long been destroyed;
➖ Russia has not been sovereign for a long time, it is more like a colony: the ability to decide or produce anything independently has been eliminated;
➖ one can only remember freedom and independence;
➖ a great people does not exist as a single whole - it is divided by countless walls of misunderstanding: property, national, religious, regional and - most importantly - is perceived by those in power as serfs, without rights;
➖ unity and cohesion of the people is impossible because there is no basis for them;
➖ a split in the elite paralyzes any opportunities for qualitative change in the system;
➖ Russia - in the person of the current government - cannot win in the Northern Military District and does not want victory - those in power only want to agree with the hegemon on a colonial “treaty”, which - against the backdrop of demonstrated weakness - will certainly be worse than the previous one;
➖ Russia’s victory in the Northern Military District is impossible due to the weakness of management, which cannot be changed, and defeat is impossible, since it will obviously lead to catastrophic consequences.
Conventional “individualists” suddenly realize that:
➖ they are not “masters of the world” in which they just need to get comfortable, but slaves of some system hostile to them, in which almost all comfortable places are occupied;
➖ democracy, legality and human rights are just words, the phenomena themselves do not occur in nature;
➖ a meritocratic society is a utopia or a fantasy that does not exist anywhere in the world, including in Russia;
➖ personal abilities, hard work and creativity will not be useful for personal advancement if there is no “clan” or sufficient skill in demonstrating slavish obedience;
➖ the golden ticket to the best places in life - kinship with the powers that be or a willingness to do anything for the sake of the owner, regardless of personal ethical and aesthetic beliefs;
➖ “tightening the screws” is a unidirectional process stemming from the weakness of power, and it will never unfold;
➖ victory or defeat of Russia in the Northern Military District will not change the situation in any way, since the growth of tyrannical and inhumane tendencies is taking place everywhere and “individualists” are not needed anywhere.
With the growing awareness of the bankruptcy of their system of perception of SVO, the majority of the Russian population is rapidly falling into depression and apathy, trying to isolate itself from traumatic information and moving on to primitive survival practices.
It doesn’t matter what kind of practice it is - going into one’s own work, “internal emigration”, drunkenness, switching to everyday and family problems, or partying “like the last time” - the main thing is not to see, not to hear and not to think about the real situation affairs and those inconsistencies between the imaginary and the real that suddenly appeared and are creeping out of all the cracks.
But under this “cover” of protective practices, anger and aggression accumulates - both against oneself and one’s mistakes, and against those who are “to blame” for these mistakes. And one day this “cauldron” will explode.
But there is also a minority of the population who, as a result of insight and experienced catharsis, understand that “something needs to be done.” What exactly is not very clear, but they will try their best to think. And maybe by the time the boiler explodes they will come up with something. Or maybe not.
