Devil’s Advocate for the Right to Dislike

June 19, 2022June 19, 2022 by Maria Kondorskaya

Hate is a bad thing, but pretending you love something is even worse. This post is an attempt to justify actual diversity and to accept it instead of trying to pretend you like everything and support every current thing.

Civilization Cancels Fruits of Culture

June 18, 2022June 11, 2022 by Maria Kondorskaya

Only a civilization can fall low enough to start cancelling cultures. Civilization is about ranging people, objects, events, etc., and this concept implies silos, limits and inequalities by default. Culture is about growth, and it is boundless.

Oligarchy vs. Colony for Dummies

May 27, 2022 by Maria Kondorskaya

I keep hearing that Russia is [just another] oligarchy. The main argument is that there are [VERY] rich people in Russia. True, though compared to Elon Musk or Bill Gates they are beggars. But are they oligarchs in the proper sense of the word? I don’t think so. Maybe they were proxy rulers with limited authority. I’ll try to explain.

Ukraine Is the New Afghanistan… For Us

May 7, 2022 by Ian Kummer
Belarus training exercise with Russia. Allied Resolve 2022

While it is possible that Ukrainians are choosing to not retreat, its equally possible that they can’t retreat. Our perception of the war in Ukraine is, as usual, backwards. I also need to debunk a very popular myth surrounding the so-called “military industrial complex.”
