Right on Lin! I could not have said it better myself. Your allusion to the dynamic of Putin's Russia, abusive partners in general is spot on. It becomes an individuals normal and they are trapped in a cycle of humiliation, anger, lashing out and then being humiliated again. Self hate leads to murder and suicide.

Or, tragically, abuse becomes an individual's normal and they adopt their abuser's justifications for the situation or construct their own justifications for why things are they way they are. On a national level, it can take the form of voter suppression by convincing people "your vote doesn't count, you can't change anything, there is no difference between the parties etc etc"
