    I hear the same from many of my eastern european colleagues. It’s an attitude you pick up when living under corrupt governments. It’s sad, it makes people feel like they can’t do anything to make things better.

      I think that it’s one of the goals of propaganda in such places. Drown everyone in conflicting information and let them abandon any agency.

      I also heard that this may pose a problem for the Russian govt as this makes people passive and totalitarian turn Russia undergoes requires people to be active but brainwashed.
