Russia has an amazingly rich cultural heritage. Which has been excluded from the west by the US. Most of the music I listen to comes from either russia or ukraine. The war is shit. But Russophobia is real. While people lap up any kind of crap from the US, I always remember more than half the people who voted, voted for trump not long ago. Russian people don't have that choice. They are gaslit and terrorised by criminals into having to live lives of poverty. I'm definitely all sunshine and lollipops today huh? I'll try and be more positive tomorrow.

Thanks. It's not been a great day in some respects, but I have a lot of gratitude for a lot of things also. Like that I can vent here. It's beneficial to not bottle things up and wait until exploding point.
