| >I want to live a normal live with my wife and kids That's what Ukrainians want and unfortunately that's not an option for them, and now it isn't one for you either. Putin has taken that away from you. The faster Russians realize that their fate is in their own hands the better. It's a collective action problem, Putin can't arrest everyone. You won't live a normal life until he's gone so the question is, how do you make that happen sooner? Easy way: General strike, 5% of people quit working, government will change.
It will require personal sacrifice, and be a thankless task. No justified violence in response. It's unlikely people care enough to make that sacrifice, therefore, sanctions. Sanctions exist to make the cost of doing nothing more than the cost of taking action. Medium way: Help accelerate discontent through low stakes capital sabotage. Pop tires, cut wires, set fires(didn't mean for these to all rhyme) break anything you can get away with. Hard way: let Russia build up national industry and suffer 3rd world standards of living through your childrens entire childhood until Putin dies, wait as Russia is engulfed in a bloody internal power struggle and hope the good guys win |
