*** Official Putin Started Shootin' Thread ***

That I can understand, but it's not like the money is being set on fire.

idk about this. I have no idea what's happening to that money, but when corrupt people send money to corrupt people then it might as well be set on fire.

I don't know much about that. Overthrown doesn't imply undemocratic. Zelensky was elected and has a clear majority support... at least since the start of the war.

A government overthrown immediately after winning an election might be considered undemocratic in some quarters.

Although it's messy as fuck. idk if the accusations of electoral fraud were legit or not.

I mean... I feel that, but ... everyone has a price. Some are higher than others, but for the right incentive... anyone's morals can be bought. Everyone will rationalize that the net good outweighs whatever moral bad they're being incentivized to "allow."


Utilitarianism is a basic thought process, really. Anyone can come to an "if the good outweighs the bad, then it's worth it." If the good they perceive is high enough.


So everyone's corrupt... it's just a matter of how exposed we are to those incentives that would turn us.
