[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Support the arts, support education, support your local library. Teach your kids critical thinking and media literacy.[/quote] +1[/quote] I agree with this stuff but it doesn’t really prevent authoritarianism. You know who really really supported the arts and read like crazy? Soviet citizens! They would sit around and debate Tolstoy versus Dostoevsky all night and attend ballet like we go to football games. Partly because the TV was crap because there was only one channel showing government approved programming. I don’t know the right answer but I do think that the “live your best life” advice is part of the problem Russia has. It’s why they turned a blind eye to Putin for so long. [/quote]
