Fun fact: when you say "huilo", a foreigner, who has no Russian and doesn't follow Russian politics, they know at once what "huilo" is. They understand the very content of the word.
Yulia Navalnaya left her signature for Nadezhdin's right to run in the presidential campaign.
The analytics of different breed have already said, that he wouldn't be allowed to run (you need putler's permission, see, not the correct procedures). And Nadezhdin himself has already said that the signatures from abroad (mine?) will not be presented because of the one or another reason. Doesn't matter.
The thought matter. The connection, the action, the meeting with like-minded matter.
And yes, Navalny still has a possibility to connect with this world. Not as often as before, but still.
By the way, you can write a letter to him, you know? Not all letters will be passed on to him, but if there is a lot of letters, some might come through :)
Trump is not a state man. Whatever USA population is protesting for - or against - this man will lead them in rounds about nothing.
To achieve something - anything - you need to decide it as the first thing: you are here now and where do you want to arrive in 4 years. Then you need to choose a strategy that under favorable circumstances might, just might, get you in the right direction. And then, of course, you need the right leader.
What is the protest? Where does it want to come to? What is the strategy? What is the plan? Trump as a leader?
Election in USA will affect me as everyone on the planet, to a certain degree. But I cannot affect it so I am not going to care.
"Is it a single group of people responsible for the loss of fun contributors & thumbs down in the cs forums?..."
"Single group" as in a group of profiles made and run by the same man? Well... possible. While that activity might be fun for that "group", for a single-profile people it might seem meaningless.
A profile, run by a few different people, could restore the balance, I think. Just imagine: a profile with a dozen different personalities has a never-ending dialogue with a dozen profiles with one personality.
Taking as 2 separate groups, it'd be enough for the start to admit that the other group of people has their gender-specific issues. Then, if you are able to summon enough curiosity, you can investigate what those are. For example, by reading special literature and talking to different representatives of that group: like, asking questions and listen to the answers.
Taking a man and a woman as a couple: communication and good will. A lot of communication and even more good will.

I do wish, you personally will never experience those condition.
It is known, that Russians (as in USSR people) have less compassion, than, say, European or USA population. It is normal: a generation after generation was surviving within GULAG conditions, there compassion meant death. But it is really saddening when you see a former USSR / Russian citizen, who has been livening in human conditions for a while, behaving as if they still were within the perimetre.
They say that fish, living in the considerable deep, die of being taking up. They cannot stay the absence of the pressure. Perhaps, some people, used to surviving within a perimeter, cannot stand being taking out of it.
My condolences that you have to endure all that. On the other hand, you can always return to beloved ebenya.
Well.. No one bothered to answer to this thread. It is possible to interpret it in whatever way, but I won't.
0 and 1 and 2. I wish to myself to be happy. To try to be happy no matter what. 3. I wish to my children to be happy. No matter what. 4. I wish to my country... and here I had to think... and came up with the decision that it is Sweden in the first place. It's Russia as a major pain, though... Nonetheless, I wish to both countries freedom of speech, freedoms of... (and here I discovered that I don't know what freedoms I have to enjoy, do you?) Nonetheless, I wish my country of birth, Russia, to acquire freedoms of... the citizens of Sweden have. 4. And to Sweden I wish to improve the 6th place in happiness index. (Wasn't it the 3rd the other year?)
5. I wish to it to return to its place of non-existing.
Well... it's good, from a certain point of view - like getting outside of your own informational bubble - to read the "discharge" at least diagonally. Just to acquaint yourself with a different dimension.
I am totally in doubt that USA ever did something that it thought wouldn't bring it income tenfold.
USA, through their political system that guarantees a number of certain freedoms - that a lot of other countries don't (needless to say) - attract human capital from all around the world. Called "Brain drain".
It is the propulsion of the progress and it is not your personal achievement. (I think you've averted a brain or two with your personal aesthetic choice, that I wish you to maintain.)
Nonetheless, I personally think that the second Trump term will be good for EU. The EU needs to understand that USA is not a reliable partner. It is totally huge and powerful, no doubt. But what is the point in it, if you can't rely upon it in the times of need. EU has to understand, that it is alone and can count only on themselves.
The first political prisoner is missing
It is the sincere confession of the premeditated murder. In plain sight.
