Im autistic&a cognitive neuroscientist. Ive gone to world class institutions&have 9+yrs of education. W/ extensive training in programming, advanced statistics&data science. Experience in experimentation using fmri&eeg, etc. I also have background in philosophy&psychology.
My husband wanted to move to the US for economic opportunities. I told him: if we move there, I will not have children. I refuse to make myself vulnerable through pregnancy&motherhood in a country without guaranteed paid maternity leave&where demanding careers mean 70+hr weeks
Im an research scientist. My husband is a programmer. Yes, 6-figure salaries, but at what price? Excess money doesnt buy quality of life. What good is wealth if were too exhausted to enjoy life, each other or children? Id rather have a life worth living than a salary to boast of
I have little respect for modern feminism. It preaches empowerment while cultivating grievance, fragility&victimhood.Women of the past endured incredible hardship w/ fortitude, strength&tenacity.Empowerment isnt demanding the world rescue you from the consequences of your choices
In Russian culture, directness is a form of respect&compassion. We say what we mean. If we give our word, we show up&follow through. Sincerity is the alignment btwn what we think&say. Our words are used to reflect our minds honestly, not be buried under layers of comforting lies
Explaining to my husband that English-speaking cultures are generally insincere. My rule w/ ppl from the Anglosphere is: dont take their words seriously. Much of what they say is an exchange of empty promises, meaningless pleasantries&social niceties w/ no intention behind them
I feel bad. I was browsing jobs&my little cat kept bringing me his toys. He wants to play fetch. I throw his toy, he brings it back. He went to my husband first, who is his primary play companion, but he's taking a nap. Then to me, he gives a little meow begging for play

You are not living in a time of peace. You are already at war, whether you recognize it or not.
Time is running out, and there is nowhere left to retreat.
The enemy of our age is literally global Bolshevism. And Bolsheviks are demons in human form.
The modern enemies of civilization may not refer to themselves as Bolsheviks, but their end state is the same: gain and retain power by any means necessary and crush dissent.
You’re seeing it happen everywhere.
>Uprisings in Europe
>A coup in Poland
>Brazil jailing political opponents
>Political persecution against INDIVIDUALS
That’s how you know what they do is evil. They don’t talk about making life better, no. They talk about persecuting and punishing people.
It starts with “oversight” or legal trouble. It ends with them literally tearing the flesh from your bones. Or exhuming dead nuns and putting them on display in town squares. Open a history book and see where this path of envy leads. See for yourselves what they do.
It must be understood that they are the most intolerant “humans” on earth. And the side that is the most intolerant always wins.
Only when you stand up and become MORE intolerable, do you sufficiently crush them. This isn’t about partisan politics anymore. Whoever still thinks that way is a half wit.
This is literally a life or death struggle for the fate of humanity.
I'm half Scandinavian, half Russian, but my mentality has always been profoundly Russian. Even among my own people, I felt like an outsider.
Nordic society reminds me of Hobbiton: peaceful, comfortable and orderly, but deeply suspicious of those who long for the mountains 👇
I wasnt searching for comfort or prestige. I wanted a meaningful life&to develop my character. I chose danger, adventure&a chance to test who I truly am. You cant know yourself, if all youve known is comfort
In pain, struggle&adversity is where your true heart&character arrive👇
