Can't help but think about Solzhenitsyn quotes when I here about about your situation.

There's one I'm thinking of, something about "And how we burned in the camps later...", can't seem to remember the rest of it.

“And how we burned in the camps later, thinking: What would things have been like if every security operative, when he went out at night to make an arrest, had been uncertain whether he would return alive and had to say good-bye to his family? Or if, during periods of mass arrests, as for example in Leningrad, when they arrested a quarter of the entire city, people had not simply sat there in their lairs, paling with terror at every bang of the downstairs door and at every step on the staircase, but had understood they had nothing left to lose and had boldly set up in the downstairs hall an ambush of half a dozen people with axes, hammers, pokers, or whatever else was at hand? After all, you knew ahead of time that those bluecaps were out at night for no good purpose. And you could be sure ahead of time that you’d be cracking the skull of a cutthroat."

NP. It's a long slog -- had to read it in school -- but also there's some chapters of his work on the relationship between Russians and Jews called 200 Years Together which have been translated and are well worth reading.

I read it after Petersons "I can't do it" moment. Very revealing on both counts

I read a few chapters, very enlightening. e.g. Jews were given land to farm so they would integrate but they didn't like to get their hands dirty and would just rent it to goyim, they much preferred to live in cities where they could do things like sell alcohol and other merchant activities.

That's my favourite part as well and a great counter to the typical Jewish apologia which usually amounts to 'Come on Goyim we just weren't allowed to be farmers we had to become bankers because you restricted us'. No Shlomo we desperately tried in many cases to make you normal members of society who profited from your own toil and not the exploitation of others. You said 'fuck that' and sold the ploughs provided you.
