I was born in USSR. There were no votes in USSR. I remember Perestroika. When I was just a teen, my parents were seriously discussing going off the grid to sit out the civil war if the 1991 KGB putsch against Gorbachev succeeded. Everybody was surprised when it failed. What followed was very confusing time, people had no idea how democracy is supposed to work, including the people who somehow made it work anyway, for a few years.

Cheating the taxpayer is only a crime if you live on a council estate or have to pick between food and heating. When some toff in a suit steals 10 billion of our money to give to his friends, he keeps his job as health secretary

Бедным британским рыбакам нечем платить ипотеку после брексита, так как клятые европейцы теперь не пускают на их рынок.

Угадайте кто больше всех топил за брексит и кричал, что нужно вернуть суверенное право британцев ловить в своих морях и выгнать оттуда клятых французов?

Мне кажется националисты и прочие возродители духовных скреп во всех странах одинаковы. Забросают говном соседей, насрут себе а потом удивляются, что как-то у них дома дурно пахнет.

Brezhnev's talks with Giscard d'Estaing (1977), complaining that people who criticise are "well paid".

Technically, Brezhnev is right: in 80's Poland average salary was like $20 per month, which was probably 1/100-1/10 of what people in the West earned at the time, so literally anyone there was indeed "well paid", including those few who talked badly about USSR.

Now would be a really clever time for the EU to come in with all of the regulation it wants to do to FB.

Пока весь мир поздравляет NASA с успешной посадкой марсохода, 57-летний Дима Рогозин публикует в твиттере глупые картинки (которые потом удаляет):

This is so meta… Yesterday I tooted about finishing Snowden's book, and today YouTube is *suddenly* recommending me an interview with him. This never happened before, for any of the topics I toot here…

The only thing that changed, of course, is that a few days ago I started cross-posting my toots to Twitter. This is just a tad beyond my willingness to believe coincidences :-) Hey, #surveillancecapitalism, go F yourself!

(Considering shutting down cross-posting.)
