I'd claim support too if the alternative was jail.

that's too easy...the hate for all what is west is anchored deeply in the russian society. This country has been brainwashed for centuries.

still it was accepted by the russians for centuries...sorry this country could have put putin and his propaganda down but they decided against it, to keep their lifestyle...

I abhor russia for that.

In a way, can you blame the average Russian for being afraid to speak out against leadership, whatever their personal feelings may be? Ever heard of Lenin? Stalin? The Romanovs? Political dissidents are not and never were treated kindly in Russia.

yes I do!

I have friends who left russia or belarus for speaking out what they think of this perverted vision of russia! They did not held back and it's the fault of the russian people that they have this leadership, because they rather accepted it for all the years instead rising against it!

Putin has all the power because not enough people fought him!

If only all Russians were so brave. Not sure I would be in a country where you can be arrested for literally saying Two words.

then do not wonder if at some point in the future they still knock on your door and deport you and your family...

All Russians? I dont think they'd fit on my front porch.

Right, so in other words, not "all russians" are cunts. Which is exactly the point ive been trying to make.

[–] avater@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

most of them then and I never wrote that all russians stand behind putin

Alright pal I have better things to do than argue with a stranger on the internet all day. Keep living in your fantasy world.
