Day 532
The less deceived
The current war is existential for Ukraine, but not existential for a significant part of its corrupt elite (which would have survived under the Kremlin — Georgia is a clear example of this). Ukraine is fighting, driven by the demand of society, in a war of liberation. For Russia, war is not existential, but it is existential for the oprichnina part of its corrupt elite, which can no longer hold power without war. Russia is waging war, led by its corrupt elites who impose their will on society. For the West, war is not existential in any way. It is both a headache and source of opportunities. The West is trying to dose its participation in the war in such a way that there are more opportunities than headaches. - Practicing philosopher Vladimir Pastukhov
That sounds about right, depending how we differentiate subjective from objective existentialism.
Ukrainians are divided now into those who fight and actively help the army, those in the rear who try to make ends meet…
