WALL. To walk or crawl up the wall; to be scored up at a public-house. Wall-eyed, having an eye with little or no sight, all white like a plaistered wall.

Russians waiting for gas
They never mention #politics
It's framed as a personal tragedy they must stoically bear
My fear is in #Russia they will obediently be driven back to riding horses, and even then offer no resistance to #Putin
"I don't do politics" is the root of our problems worldwide- not #voting in the #USA for example
It's not an easy problem
It's kind of mindbending how a cadre can regressively destroy a #society and people meekly accept and offer no resistance
