I largely agree, except s/equally/equitably.

A little bit of that and Heinz 57 in burgers is spectacular, though. It also helps makes a relative's overdone entree tolerable.
Pollution doesn't stay where we send it, literal or figurative. Weakness seeks to control others. Strength is calming our own inner beasts. Good luck friend.
It starts with individual attitude shifts, you know? If I was reared this way, and continued for another 3 decades and can make the shift, pretty much anyone can. The idea is not to shift back. While society and media seek to make it extremely difficult, it's still very, very possible. Mandela had the right idea in not seeking revenge.
Aha! Thank you for clarifying. I get why Russia would like to do away with religion by and large, even if I no longer agree with those reasons. The methodology was always troublesome to me but Jesus, not even re-education (yes, that was poorly done too, unsure how much was deliberate and how much was lack of resources) and ~~straight to execution~~? I need to read more from a variety of sources.
Edit: apologies, I misremembered your original wording. I've read too much of political madness, recently.
Heh. We want mercy for ourselves and "justice" for our neighbors. That's what's wrong with the world.
Always has been. Ethnicity and religion are made-up divides. Any system that seeks to keep humans divided within themselves, amongst themselves is the beast system led by one of many antichrists. Religion has been perverted by religious and political alike, for political reasons. If religion isn't uniting someone within themselves, amongst themselves, healing schisms rather than creating them, that religion worships false gods, usually money/power. Those are tools to be used to accomplish that goal and we have ceded our real power of integrity and made them lord and master.
Soviet forces?
Tax advisers say non-doms are relocating to countries such as Portugal, St Kitts and Nevis, Spain, Greece, the United Arab Emirates and Italy, where taxes are either much lower or where they can pay a fixed annual fee to avoid them. Italy, for example, charges €200,000 a year to foreigners who wish to shelter their worldwide assets from local taxes.
I could have quoted every other paragraph, the article is worth reading. Citizens in ostensible democracies need to be pressuring their governments to close tax loopholes and to lean heavily on governments who allow physical relocation and account offshoring to evade taxes. There is no good reason billionaires and centmillionaires to exist.
We can make a move. Billionaires are just betting we won't.
This also means people wouldn't be able to travel with cheap burner phones, which is extremely problematic for people who need to travel to and from increasingly authoritarian states.
