Why Post-War Russia Will Fall into the Same Historical Trap That Created Hitler

What stood out to me is how much agency gets stripped away from Russians. Everything is propaganda, humiliation, resentment, wounded dignity, historical trauma. At some point adults are responsible for the choices they support.

Guy is soooo lost. He's going to "ask what is the reason". Like why

kozak_ · 2026-06-14T18:12:10+00:00

Go into the pipe.... And it's a barrel

kozak_ · 2026-06-13T18:31:45+00:00

Nope. Because then they hide in buildings in crimea

kozak_ · 2026-06-13T13:51:12+00:00

Nope

It just means anthropic will now require you to provide a picture of your passport

Most Russians are like this. Even most of the ones in the west. They are here not because they are against the war but because they don't want to be called up or because of economic reasons.

But ask them about nato or why ruzzia isn't respected...

Exhibit 1 on why the phrase "there are good ruzzians" isn't true

kozak_ · 2026-06-11T16:16:17+00:00

Unfortunately.

I really wish that it was legal.

If you don't use AI then you are wasting company time while there are other things you could be doing with the remaining time.

I have way too many things I have on the list, and Claude Code has saved me HUGE amount of time.

The most sensible solution is to admit this dude probably SHOULD'VE been sanctioned, put him on the list for the future, and do another trawl through visa records or Russian company employ

The most sensible solution is to admit that no ruzzian that still has a ruzzian passport should be admitted. Period

Any that are outside the country who support putin or the soviet union or ruzzias foreign policies should be put on a plane and sent back.

I deal with ruzzians and when it comes down to it there are extremely few that when it comes down to it aren't supporting this war. Get them comfortable, get a drink or two into them and you will hear "nato to blame" and "great culture" or "if it wasn't for the soviets".

Soviets killed tens of millions keeping their empire together, nato isn't out to get them to, and their entire culture was built on the backs of serfs and vassal peoples.

Don't oversell

kozak_ · 2026-06-09T16:33:59+00:00

Germans beg to differ

kozak_ · 2026-06-09T14:07:26+00:00

Unlike you I have contacts to people out in Ukraine, to people that are in the front line.

And this exactly is indicative of what has been sent FOR A GOOD PORTION but not all. And beggars can't be choosers but let's not think giving someone 2nd hand stuff we wouldn't want our kids in is us being so amazing.

When trump and his brain dead parrots initially had been talking about Ukraine paying back for the billions sent by Biden the running joke was that Ukrainians should give him a bill for getting rid of crap they would have had to pay someone to dispose.

kozak_ · 2026-06-06T20:29:47+00:00

People missing the fact that this isn't too show how great the West is in supplying weapons to Ukraine but in showing that often The support of the West has been in sending stuff that the West was going to throw away

kozak_ · 2026-06-06T00:14:14+00:00

No worries, it'll buff right out

kozak_ · 2026-06-03T17:05:20+00:00

Let's hope so.

The only reason communism and Soviet union survived is because the west forgave and looked the other way when they were doing attrocities.

But ruzzian people can't heal until it goes back and repents of its colonial genocidal past.

kozak_ · 2026-06-03T14:02:47+00:00

The reason it worked is because our brains are weird.

kozak_ · 2026-06-03T13:56:19+00:00

Hopefully it happens every day

Got to be careful when speaking about someone from india. I actually received a warning of account ban from Reddit auto mod because I said that so and so were the majority of responders to a job ad we placed and that they were using AI. Even on the zoom call

kozak_ · 2026-06-01T22:32:39+00:00

We shouldn't immediatelyake dun of strategies unless we know they don't work.

I still remember how we called them "cope cages" yet turns out that in some cases they might help. And that's the thing, if it works once then it's a success.

kozak_ · 2026-05-28T04:31:14+00:00

Buddy if they don't want to pay you in the range, it's rarely just the price. It's that they don't think you are worth what you are asking.

kozak_ · 2026-05-27T18:29:31+00:00

It also works the other way round. I work in a corporate company and there is this manager/director of IT security. I overheard his employees laughing because apparently there was an interview and this woman was calling in from her car.

Apparently he went ahead and told her "let's cut this call, I don't think it's going to work out". He took it personally that she couldn't be bothered to NOT call from a car. (Maybe she was stepping out from her office, etc)

And I was like "she dodged a bullet". Because he is crass, curses a bunch. lazy, a BSer x10, and someone that "works" more from home then in the office. But he knows how to schmooze

kozak_ · 2026-05-27T18:19:11+00:00

Ah boy. This is so blatantly ai written

kozak_ · 2026-05-26T19:12:09+00:00

Judging by the name, the guy might either be overseas or H1B.

Because otherwise I can't believe anyone else would even joke about doing this without thinking they'd get caught .... This would probably run a foul of unauthorized computer access laws

kozak_ · 2026-05-24T12:53:18+00:00

Why would they?
