Stoned rant, coming through.
This is all nonsense, of course, but one thing stuck in my craw here. The weird idea that diplomatic staff were somehow sad to be there or unhappy with their conditions. This was a cushy position that people wanted. I don't know that capitalism supermarket is such a great draw to give that up. Sure, I'll be happy to leave my easy job to be just another Eastern European immigrant. Maybe make a side hustle as (very) minor celebrity dissident, if I manage to drawn enough attention. (
Actually, is there a list somewhere of famous "dissidents"? I'd love to see some data what their demographics are like.
