In China, people often talk amongst friends and relatives about the government, but never publicly criticize the government, especially not the central government. I expect this to be the same is russia. Unless they have a mind-control chip in their brain, there are probably a lot of dissatisfaction with the government, but nobody is gonna say it out loud.
Ah, so it’s kind of like how I live my life. At work and with family they think I’m a mild mannered boring person who never curses, and has boring hobbies.
But then behind closed doors, I enjoy the idea of handcuffing a woman to a bed, sitting on her waist, and just tickling her for hours as she goes apeshit.
…but it gets harder to find women who want to let you do that to them as you get older.
“A Soviet political joke describes a disgruntled man holding up a white piece of paper in the street in protest and, when asked why, the protester replies that everyone knows what the paper is supposed to say.”
Its pretty easy to detect the authoritarian states as the ones where people can be arrested for actually doing such.
Happend in China/Hongkong.
Happend in Russia.
And also happens in the UK.
People probably know.

Russia has always been like this, for a good hundred years and over.
You NEVER say what you actually think in public or at work, only with your closest friends behind closed doors.

Yeah people often say things like “how can they not see xyz” but they clearly do. We’re creating opinions based on what they say publicly.
