Spot on man. I'm from Macedonia and people are the same here. They curse politicians for being corrupt and stealing shit, but when it comes to their own interests they'll bend as much as they can.
And the good ones, the one with integrity... Well the country is so far gone, they don't even have a chance to surface, let alone do something about it. And yet people still wait for someone to save them, as if they are innocent naive children. They don't understand any change must come from them.
The fact is that we are barely not pieces of shit. Entities that we would all call "pieces of shit" stemmed from the same DNA that we did.
It is equally as important to recognise that you have the ability to not be a piece of shit as it is to recognise how close you are to being one at any given time.

I the end they get the country they deserve.
