We're made to believe that we live in the most advanced societies on the planet, that our moral standards are the highest, that our way of life is the right way of life. But it's all a lie. We're supporting regimes around the world, we overthrow problematic regimes, we're responsible for way more civilian deaths than Russia, and all the time we present ourselves as the highest moral authority on the planet.
And the people just don't see it. That's why they get away with it. Because we don't act. And I'm part of the "we".
I'm not part of Putin's "we".
