Nothing?

Life is returning back to normal after a horrific battle that did not need to happen. Most civilians don’t care so much under which government they live, they just want health and safety first and foremost. Governments and states create the problems, in my opinion. Politicians should serve the people, not create war.

In an ideal world, the states would be replaced with agencies that compete for yearly contracts from neighborhoods. Instead of killing civilians for a flag, the civilians would renew contracts for roads, police etc. from competing agencies and none of it would be bundled together in “a state”.



I didn’t want to spell it out, but apparently I must. They’d end up in torture chambers like in Kherson:

I'm glad corporate news is now properly classifying waterboarding as torture.



I do agree though that the battle didn’t need to happen. Russia could’ve just not attacked Ukraine.


> Most civilians

Most civilians that remained, which is a very different number and group of people from civilians before invasion.

This is almost trivially true, if you don't have a reason or desire to leave a town bombed to bits for several months, then you don't care about your government. People who cared or were candidates to be tortured, left before that. And being a torture chamber candidate required as little as having tattoos or speaking your native language, the language that people who never even lived in your country decided is not real.

Genocide is real though and genocidal war is very different from "government changed who cares"
