Life with a loop on the neck

Food sanctions were boring, but their meaning remained incomprehensible. They are perceived in the context of the Russian-Ukrainian war, but sanctions are a logical continuation of the Kremlin’s policy since 1992. Strange as it may seem, with the Colorado beetles, more precisely, with the comparison of the "Western missionaries" with the Colorado beetles. There was still not only an invasion of Ukraine, but also the invasion of Georgia or Chechnya, there was still no whole conducted press, and all the newspapers already wrote about what bad Mormons, the “Army of Salvation”, “Aum Sinrika”, “White Brotherhood” (by the way, Ukrainian!), Etc. There was also Kutzay freedom of trade, and religion freedom was already called to cut off - and the security forces were already driven by batons from the cathedral in Noginsk "naughty" Orthodox (by the way, now in one of the Ukrainian churches).

In 1997, a law was adopted against religious freedom, which is completely similar to the current food sanctions - nothing from the West! There is your own - and eat your own! The argument was completely barracks: "who does not feed his clergy, will feed someone else's." So, after all, scared !!! And they rushed to feed their ...

In parallel, there was absolutely the same process in the economy. Under the motto, "Our manufacturer is weak, we will protect it from foreign competitors for a while, a lot of things were banned from hermetic windows to banks. Few people understand that current banks with loud foreign names have nothing to do with their Western prototypes, like the Finnish windows are not Finnish at all. It got to the apples. The food iron curtain, the need for which the Bolsheviks repeated for so long, fell.

If we follow the principle of "who is beneficial", then the invasion of Ukraine was organized by Russian summer residents in order to sell their rotten and tasteless yields

If you follow the principle of “who are beneficial”, then the invasion of Ukraine was organized by Russian summer residents in order to sell their rotten and tasteless yields. But the benefit of the self -isolation of Russia is not so much monetary as psychological. The picture of the world changes, like a child who was covered with a pillow, or sniffs glue, or threw a loop around his neck and squeezes his own throat. Some do this - it gives them pleasure, close to sexual. After all, from the point of view of hydraulics, a person is not a too complicated structure of several pools with taps. You can raise pressure (and potency) with chemicals, or you can simply overwhelm the corresponding artery.

Autosanctions just squeeze their own throat. Sure, fear - but also the pleasure of "at the abyss of gloomy on the edge." There are many such pierced arteries within Russia. The main example, of course, is Moscow - a sleepy artery swollen to the gigantic hematoma, pushed by the province and benefits for those in the capital. Closely, stuffy, vile - but what a drive! That is, it is known which - a false drive, but at least such, if we are otherwise afraid. Inside Moscow is also a lot of examples.

The crush in public transport and traffic jams on the street is a typical pierced artery. All the cries about the overpopulation of Moscow - because five percent of the Muscovites own, I think, half of the square meters of the city, and most of them do not even rent this housing - they are already rich, these are "investment meters". So it was under the Soviet regime, when, in the words of one journalist "Pravda", "we had these apartments like dirt." If we take Moscow within the borders of 1990 - it is less populated, and if the crush, it is because both public transport and the streets free for travel has become many times less.

A teenager who has a fixation on suffocation as an exciting factor can play for a long time for a long time-he will get a loop (“repression”), weaken (“restructuring). It can also become playing up to real self-antiquity, but this does not happen with the countries. So, let's continue? But, firstly, it is possible to deprive ourselves, and secondly, we are already, we are already already, we are already, we are already They began to strangle himself, but also others, thirdly, can still try ... in a traditional way to live? Without creating a full life by the illusion of life, but accepting a real full-blooded life, which is the more full-blooded, the more spaces, the fewer prohibitions (of which the most terrible variety is war), the more opportunities.
