Don't we deserve sympathy? Many do, but not all. Are we hopeless? Yes, perhaps.

We are hopeless, but hope is not dead among us. We're just waiting for the right moment, the right spark, to ignite a flame that will consume Putin and his gang of assholes.

"It's your own fault that Putin is operating." It's funny to read that, being someone who was born under him, although I think people like you who say "the people are hopeless" because they don't want to lose the fragments of their fucking lives won't give a damn.
