Honor, conscience, solidarity, gratitude, love are not always rational

The court upheld The New Times fine of 22 million. What exactly were you expecting?

People who are still discussing that people gave money to Albats in vain, and what, in their opinion, really needed to be raised, are amazing. The most amazing thing is that a gigantic amount was collected faster than they formulated their valuable thoughts. Where to spend money is a personal matter for each person. They like to support a meaningless, in your opinion, enterprise - none of your business, they like it that way. Well, rationality and practicality are not always the basis of our actions. Honor, conscience, solidarity, gratitude, love are not always rational, but for some reason people consider it necessary to act irrationally.

Do you think that someone collects incorrectly and for the wrong cause? Well, flag in hand, don't tell me what to do. Go and collect the necessary and important, tell about the successes. It's not "get it first", it's "don't teach, but redo". But it is difficult: few people know how, maybe not lazy.
