They separated themselves with a gigantic wall of their own stupidity and ignorance. They have made their choice, all their country and everyone for themself did.

Ukrainians and other civilized world may wonder, how russians can believe this untruth, which are poured into their heads by themselves. How can they believe in that they are “defenders, liberators”, or that, by genocide, they are defeating themselves from “rotten Western world”, or that Ukraine is bombarding itself to provoke russia? And if you asked all these questions out loud, the first guess, the first assumption that springs to mind sounds not like “because russian propaganda is so advanced?”.
No, it sounds like “because russian people are stupid?”. It is self-evident. Smart people, intelligent people, critically thinking people, just people with a little of brain and consciousness won’t believe in these stories. That’s why there is no point in talking to them, persuading them, blaming them or trying to help them.
A so-called nation that is informationally isolated from other world and, what’s more, from reality, won’t accept that help. They separated themselves with a gigantic wall of their own stupidity and ignorance. They have made their choice, all their country and everyone for themself did. And it’s an unspeakable pity that such brainless mass is our neighbour.
Yaryna Travnykova:
Science says that the average person lies several times a day. It can be a big lie or a little white lies, which is more often. Ordinary people who live an honest life use lies to avoid some uncomfortable situations or spare someone’s feelings.
This kind of deception is more like small and kind act of encouraging people to believe, it is rather something that helps to calm down and give hope to another person.
Such deception is part of our daily lives, something that helps us live a little better, makes us a little happier. Subconsciously, we may understand that it is a deception, but it makes life easier, so we choose to believe.
And if an innocent, small deception (like, this dress suits you very well) doesn’t look so wrong, then bigger deceptions are awful and literally can destroy lives.
But believing in such a deception is the same choice as believing in a little deception. Only the consequences of this choice are different. The greater the deception, the more people in it, the more victims there will be because of the choice to believe.
That is why I agree with this quote: people decide to believe in deception because it is easier to live that way. Russians want to believe what the government tells them, they make a conscious choice to believe in it, because it’s easier to live that way. It is easier to believe in delusion than to fight for the truth and for a better future. It’s easier, but it’s not worth it.
