Russia is Preparing the Next Generation to Die for Their Country
Opinion | In Russia, 2023 is the Year of the Teacher and Mentor.
Putin’s vision has been formalized in the “New Philosophy of Formation” developed by the Russian Children’s Centre in conjunction with Znaniye, a Soviet-era organisation relaunched in 2015 to provide state-approved educational guidance and resources to the public. The new philosophy aims to unify approaches to moral and academic education, incorporating schools, families and community organizations in the process. It focuses on “improving children and young people’s capabilities” and instilling approved spiritual and moral values.
To live and die in misery, because some assholes on top have an alcoholic, inferiority-complex grudge against a myriad demons in their own narrow miserable minds, which they project out at everyone and everything, including their own.
The only thing russians seem to hate more than their own lives, are the lives of others.
32Putin really does not see it. Ukraine really does not matter to the West, but by killing his youth he long term destroys Russia as a serious threat. Same story with his military equipment. There is a reason many in the West do not want Ukraine to win quickly. The war destroys Russia as a serious threat long term. The longer it lasts, the weaker Russia is going to become.
11How can russian teachers coordinate quietly, to discuss responses to this? And the older students too? Could the fediverse play a role, as it's hard for the state to shut it down? I'm recalling how, in the 1980s, samizdat (self-printing of books) and later magnetizdat (self-copying of music), as well as anekdoti (complex jokes...), helped to crumble the general trust in the state propaganda (especially after chernobyl).

-27And in anarchy the strongest will be the winner, so you still can have this outcome.
22... socialist state where the government actually does serve the people
Do yourself a favour and stay away from wherever you receive this stuff.
16Aaaaaand nobody cares about your little label. You bring nothing to the table. You're a 14 year old trying to sound edgy. You're not even unique. There's dozens of you. Dozens. Come back to the conversation when you have something to add to it.
