I hardly think you cared about the dictatorship before the "partial" mobilization began.

And if something had collective approval (even through silence), then it must also have collective responsibility.

Don't try to play a victim card here, Russian, we all saw what you did and continue doing. And some of us even experienced it.

If you are interested, me, personally, was partially affiliated with libertarian party and left Russia after first police visit in early 2021 (so a year before the war, even better in your terms). But that's just an ad hominem and doesn't matter in fact.

Talking generally, that's true that most people didn't leave, and that's totally fine. People don't deserve to play heroes and suffer in prisons because they were unlucky enough to born in wrong place in wrong time. Everybody deserve to have a peaceful life with their families, hobbies and jobs. Wanna play hero - get a visa, go to Russia, give your life, get shit done, if that's so easy. Humanity will be grateful for you.

If you don't - don't say people to do that just because they have different color of passport or speak other language. There is nothing wrong in being a "coward", people just want to live their lives, it's not a game, there is no savepoints.

Each person in the world can be only judged by his own actions, not by others'. Simple, but extremely important, idea which was an outcome of 2 world wars. If you create more hate by nationality or citizenship - you are just like Putin with his "bandera" fetish. Just different objects, really.
