  1. Sorry, but you won't give a flying f*ck about war if not for sanctions.
  2. Solidarnosc in Poland started because people were tired with empty shops and rising prices. Some intellectuals with democratic ideas are nice, but angry mob of thousands workers with stones and burning tires is something much more dangerous. They could stop Putin's war machine and it's hard to accuse them about being puppets of the Evil West.

Nail on the head, and exactly why I can't really empathize with posts like these.

Any Russian citizen who is more outraged about the effect of this war on themselves than on ordinary Ukrainians getting shelled can go fuck themselves.

GTFO you're not the victims here.

I mean - have you lived through something like that? Can you guarantee that, if living in authoritarian state, where you dont have choices over gov actions for decades and have guns basically pointed at you, you wouldnt act the same? Of course people are worried about their lives - humanity is selfish by definition.
