    To be clear I did meet some nice people when I visited Russia briefly, there are horrible people everywhere, not just in Russia 😅

      Yeah there are horrible people everywhere, where you live doesn’t have as much correlation with how much of an awful person you are as some people might think. These people aren’t awful because of their nationality but because they are awful disgusting people.

        I think living in a place or situation that’s more difficult plays a role, it’s a lot easier to be kind when everyone around you is kind too.

          That is true, in places where everyone are assholes it’s harder to be nice. Though I still maintain that people are responsible for their own behavior and not being assholes themselves, even if it seems hard. Other people’s behavior isn’t an excuse.
