support [Theme] Page 1
Under totalitarian regimes - communism, fascism, religious fundamentalism - the support of the people is a given. You can start a war, keep the war going, dress everyone up in uniform for any amount of time and not worry about the backlash. In a democracy, the situation is diametrically opposite. The support of the people has to be cherished as a limited state resource. And spend wisely, carefully, with a return many times greater than the investment.
Widespread paternalistic sentiments in society. Confidence that all problems should be solved by the state. Or someone else, but not everyone is in their place. The desire to "make oneself", to achieve personal success step by step, is not our national habit. Hence the lack of initiative, the lack of new ideas, unresolved issues, the low quality of public discussion, including critical speeches. Public consent and support is usually expressed in silence. Objections are very often emotional, biting, but at the same time superficial and irresponsible. Well, Russia has been familiar with these phenomena for more than a hundred years.
Some worry that our support for Ukraine could run the risk of escalation. Let me be clear: there are no options without risk, but the biggest risk is if Putin wins. This will make the world more dangerous and us more vulnerable. Therefore, supporting Ukraine is in our common security interests.
