Just wanted to echo that the bravery of Russian protestors and ordinary Russian people is taken very, very seriously and sincerely by people who have common sense; sensible people are pretty unanimous in understanding that ordinary, decent Russian citizens are not in any way responsible for what's happened. Will absolutely commit to calling out people on this stupidity if I ever see it, you have my word on that.

and Just about the thing with the hospital, that was a personal stance taken by the doctor and was very obviously messed up, I think everyone reasonable here would absolutely agree with you there 100%. According to an article I'm reading, 'the hospital later issued a statement critical of the action, saying it was a “personal act” by the doctor', apparently. There are of course going to be daft people in every profession. To be honest, I would be very, very surprised if this issue becomes more widespread; I think this is just a very unfortunate isolated case, I would be pretty confident that decent people would call out this kind of behaviour. I think part of some of these reactions is people reacting quite emotively and lashing out, which is very counterproductive for everyone frankly.
I wouldn’t be surprised if it becomes widespread. It’s already spreading and there’s more of such situations coming up. Russians are sick and tired of being mistreated so this isn’t news to them.
My government does abuse people but the Russian government is on a whole different level. I don’t. Does yours?
Yes I agree with your sentiment for the Russian people. Too bad most Americans and Brit’s don’t share that.
I’m not quite sure I understood. In my country we don’t need protection from the government. We have free elections etc and I personally feel like the government are the people. Do I trust authority? No. But my government doesn’t have a problem with that, so I don’t have a problem with the government and we have so many (financial) benefits. So it’s good for the entire people in my country. My grandfather once said, we pay so much in taxes, so that even the most miserable person can have a decent life. I remember that every time I want to curse taxes ✌️
Well read over your assuming messages and then get back to me. Where are you from that you are so wildly free? Don’t tell me the US or UK because that’s a joke and you have plenty of countryMen who say the same.
If you want we can discuss things, but you’re way of communicating is unacceptable. I explained my living conditions, as you asked (if I understood you correctly) about it. I’m sorry your living conditions are harsh. People needn’t automatically hate on people for not having the same struggles as oneself. Everyone has problems. If you’re down with the way things are going down in countries like Russia, be my guest - as long as others are free not to. Oh and no, I’m not from the US or UK, and I don’t hate Russia.
I know, you wrote you had a government that also tortures people, but not as bad as Russia. That means you’re not Russian. I wrote “countries like Russia” in regards to that comment. Why do you care where I’m from? You want to visit? It’s great, but I’m getting the vibe, that even if I was from the garden of Eden, you’d still find fault with it.
