      I’m trying to have a discussion about innovation in space, something that goes beyond Russia, and has a clear history.

      Sorry I didn’t bag on Russia enough, I thought you guys were doing a good enough job of that already without me

      Nah this is not true and is frankly pretty racist. There are many and have been many brilliant and amazing Russians who love freedom and progress.

      They are all either dead, in prison or outside Russia, but there’s a lot of them!

        Eh, I’m not dead, not in prison and inside Russia, and I don’t consider myself a fascist (definitely not) moron (I have my moments, but surely so does the author of those words).

        Anyway, it’s still corruption, not fascism. It’s a difference between depressive apathy and maniacal madness. These are the opposites. In some sense the current state of the Russian society is a result of choosing literally anything (like Putin) over mostly imagined fascists (or communists, or anarchists). People expressing that sentiment would think they are very wise, but they’d all say the same things and wouldn’t elaborate how they’d come to such conclusions.

        It’s all those “grey morality” types thinking they are very smart. Thank God there are some (absolute minority, but how many do you need to know?) younger people for whom all this apathetic swamp wisdom has unexpectedly morphed into “I don’t want to judge anyone else, but as for myself I want to be a good person and do what I should”.

      You realise the first human made object to land on the moon was Russian?
