I’m rewatching the handmaid’s tale right now, and that show goes into the psychological impact of living in an inhumane society. Basically (and to put it simply), it makes it difficult to be a good person, and difficult not to become a bad person, reflected in the acts people will do or not do, even if not due to evil intent but eg. simply to follow orders, to survive, or to escape their trauma.
So I’m interested in how Russians are able to keep their humanity, sense of decency etc, knowing what their country is doing to people. Then there’s the generational impact of their past, the soviet union etc. How many people can resist that pressure?
Similar in Israel/zionists where some people are barbaric, others allow evil to happen/make excuses and a relative few try to fight it.
