    Revolution doesn’t have to occur with polite protesting. When the resistance was happening in France it was done by targeting critical Nazi infrastructure and personnel.

    It’s never easy, but if you are Russian and you value freedom, then you’re at war with your government, and currently your government has you in a choke hold. Your only option is to gouge out your opponents eye, even though you might die trying, because you’re never getting out of the choke hold without trying.

      Yeah, good luck with that. People in Russia are exactly like you and me, believe it or not. They have families, jobs, cats to feed and watch YouTube. Some want to get rid of Putin as much as you. Not many want to inform the family that they plan to go and die trying.

      But nevertheless many actually do, arsons are all over the news. These people are in jail now serving 25y sentences.
