What do you mean no advances in the last 70 years?! In the last decade scientists detected gravity waves and imaged an actual real black hole. Also they've been steadily chipping at quantum gravity, give it a couple decades they'll get there.

I want to say to all the "this could never happen to my country, we remember history"-people:
Yes it could. One economic crisis too many; a few gifted power hungry ghouls in the wrong place; hundreds little comprimises taken by establishment to preserve the status quo -- and you will find your neighbours tolerating (and even welcoming) oppression of the less fortunate.

HATE.

Enough of the "they go low we go high" bs, you can't defeat fascism with civility.
Applies even more to modern Russia..
