You obviously have not been to Russia or read/seen their news. Most Russians believe Ukraine to be enemies that should be eliminated. They also think the same of Americans.

Most people on Earth are indoctrinated and brainwashed by their governments. I still think that the citizens of the world are more than capable of coming together and embracing each other though, if we can put an end to the world order where we have special ‘political class’ individuals that constantly put nations/citizens against each other, out of self interest, rather than any sort of democratic mandate.

“I have a dream” where one day Russians and the rest of Europe’s citizens can be united, along with the rest of the world too.

I don’t disagree with you on any of that! I just think it’s not very realistic that humans will stop being tribalistic now. I really hope your dreams come true!

You and u/morpheus9009 should check out DemocracyNext on youtube. There are so many intelligent democratic innovators who are working hard on developing the systems and mechanisms to allow for better and fairer democratic governance - which should get rid of a lot of the obstacles that we have faced throughout history to creating a better world for all.
