Community mods and instance admins have similar powers, there will be similar power struggles, corruption and drama here too.

The fact that it will be easy to jump ship wont change the fact that it will be necessary to jump ship from time to time.

There are quite a few "statue parks" in Russia where they dumped all the old communist statues. Row after row of lenins, the odd khrushchev or brezhnev, a rare stalin tucked down the back. Lots of actually pretty good art of the common people looking super swole as they march into a glorious future.

All sitting in a muddy field in the outer suburbs of Moscow or Petersburg. It's a tourist trap but I found it to be a pretty poetic experience when I visited.

The Kramatorsk incident is another one that gives me the heeby jeebies.

I always like to check that the previous tenants lived long and healthy lives any time I move in somewhere new.

Well for example, I read the other day that 1 in 10 flights taking off from the UK are private jets.

international law tells them to seek the first safe country

This is not true at all. It's not a requirement of the Convention on the Status of Refugees or any other international law.

My favourite version of this is "the difference between a million and a billion is about a billion"
