" Russia will not become a democracy until it falls apart. That’s because Russia is not really a nation-state but the same premodern multiethnic empire living on geographic expansion and resource looting as 300 years ago — and is thus doomed to reproduce, again and again, under whatever ideological cover, the same prison-ward-like political structure that alone keeps it together".

Hello #intro #introduction I'm Olivia Vespera, I was a long time CMDR in #elitedangerous. I got involved as a volunteer at #Nineworlds #Geekfest and saw how amazing it was in terms of #accessibility (though there was room from #decolonialisation)
I'm not an all around space/rocket nerd who is just waiting for #starship to launch am so happy to finally see #SLS launch, even though I didn't it would ever happen! Big fan of hard sci fi everything. Atomic Rockets webpage is great! #ksp too
