To the Western layperson, Russia’s special military operation on the territory of Ukraine can be explained as follows:
Just imagine, you live on a quiet green street. And the neighbour in the house opposite is a serial killer. He is friendly and charming. But every night a new child or woman is tormented in the basement.
Sometimes muffled screams annoy you, and you slam the window or make the TV louder. One of those sitcom comedies where the laughter is behind the scenes after every ridiculous joke.
And one fine evening, your neighbourhood is surrounded by police special forces. Gunshots, explosions of stun grenades, the hum of helicopters, the howl of alarms of all parked cars in the area are heard. They storm the maniac’s house.
And you get scared. Of course, such stress! Just panic covers from all these sounds and sights. You’re shaking on the floor, hugging your knees in the flickering red and blue police strobe lights.
The only thing you want is to stop this end of the world immediately! So that the police get the hell out of your measured life! After all, everything was so good: coffee with pancakes, a sitcom, soft slippers and a friendly neighbour opposite.
NO VIOLENCE!! GET BACK TO YOUR UNIT!! BARBARIANS, AGGRESSORS, MURDERERS!!!
You’re shouting out of the window, because you’ve already started psychosis. Rushing from the window to the computer, posting hearts, raised fists, arms folded in prayer. On all avatars you have a picture of the neighbour.
And all because while he was killing in the basement - you weren’t scared. Because you didn’t see it. Although you guessed. And here you see. A hundred times less violence, but you SEE it. And it causes stress, and you don’t want to be stressed.
But soon the police will start taking out the bodies of the tortured victims - and you will be sick. They will appear tomorrow in newspapers, on the Internet and in your dreams. It will no longer be stress, but trauma.
That’s what you subconsciously tried to protect yourself from. It is better to live under the crystal dome of idleness, beyond which there is blood and tears, than to allow a single stone of truth to break this dome.
