    I mean, Russia sure, people don’t want to end up in Siberia. But I wonder why Poland, Austria and friends are so empty. Surely Austrian police isn’t worse than fucking Spanish? Also, there is a suspiciously England-shaped hole.

      Two options:

      • things are so good there they don’t see the need to protest

      • things were so bad for so long that current crisis didn’t make much impact yet

      But seriously, I think it’s a mix of those two. Some things are terrible but were bad for so long people got used to it and lost hope it will get better (like healthcare and corruption in Poland). Other things actually got a lot better over the last couple of decades (like salaries in Poland).
