@koala.justakoala4287 Ah, the good old "good Russian is a dead or imprisoned Russian" mentality. How cute. Honestly, it doesn't trigger me anymore, at all. I just ignore such braindead takes.

@koala.justakoala4287 Those who ever "fought the guards alongside these people" are either jailed or killed, so yes, your take is literally "good Russian is either dead or imprisoned Russian", it's not a meme, it's literally your position. 5,000 of Berkut police doesn't even compare to hundreds of thousands (literally) of national guard members & no doubt, if needed, an army. We literally need an army to fight all that. We don't have an army. Responsibility by association is one thing, guilt is another. Do what you want, i don't feel guilty and never will.

@koala.justakoala4287 I'm not a hero and i'm not ready to die, especially in vain, that's true. There's currently three groups of people in Russia ~20% anti-war, ~10-15% Z-fascists and like 60% of apolitical confused swamp. 20% of anti-war is indeed a lot, but they are desorganized and spread throughout the whole (big) country, so unless we wake up those 60% of confused peeps there's literally zero reason to risk our lifes. 2024 presidential elections is a possible (and probably last) chance for big organized protests in Russia (yes, Russian elections are a big fraud, but still, they are an organizing force when people actually wake up, keep in mind what happened in Belarus after an election), so IMO we need to wait for 2024. Even if Putin cancels elections, it will cause a big turbulance. Unfortunately for Russians and especially Ukrainians, i can't see any changes happening before 2024. However, i highly doubt that putinism will survive 2024.

But we literally did? Hundreds of big anti-government, anti-Putin protests since 2012, including big anti-Crimea annexation & Donbas war protests in 2014 led by Boris Nemtsov. A lot of them were crushed by force, leaders & protesters locked up or killed (some of them are in jail to this day). Russian TV & news were forced to be silent about all of this. The west did nothing, buiseness with Putin as usual.

@koala.justakoala4287 "You live in an abnormal country, so you have a moral obligation to be jailed or die" good one

@koala.justakoala4287 But I wasn't silent since i hit 18? And what would my protest do now, exactly? Nothing. I'll just be in jail and that's it, like Yashin or Navalny, except nobody would even write about me or know about me. Currently in Russia you can only protest alone, there's literally 0% chance to organize anything, as soon as you post about organizing it - police is already there and taking people 1 by 1 as they come.

@koala.justakoala4287 Fighting with OMON is a self-sacrifice, nothing else. Objectively. Also, people hate violence & violent protests, so they tend NOT TO JOIN violent protests, not "join them only when it becomes violent". Your logic is completely flawed. Actually, you're exactly repeating Kremlin's propaganda tactics here.

@koala.justakoala4287 Nope, not because people didn't back off, but because they saw an opportunity to actually succeed. There's no such feeling in Russia, hopefully, it will appear near 2024.

@koala.justakoala4287 2024

@koala.justakoala4287 It won't be punishments and it won't be reparations. Reparations are only possible if you conquer Moscow and it won't happen. Otherwise it's a voluntary compensations and not reparations. And punishments... What are those "punishments"? It's a weird term, not exactly sure what you mean by that.

@koala.justakoala4287 Also, do you really think you're encouraging protests in Russia by spreading such messages? If anything, you're only helping Putin and actually, IMO, hurting Ukraine. Just look at what you did: "protests in Russia won't happen", "we hate you, you're all guilty", "you and your offsprings will be PUNISHED" It doesn't even make sense. If protests in Russia won't happen and it's all "hoping and coping", then how will Ukraine win exactly? What reparations are we talking about then? It's a war for 10-20 years to come if protests in Russia won't happen. Putin has enough resources to make & buy basic rockets and drones for DECADES.

@koala.justakoala4287 I have my position on this issue, but i won't reveal it to you.

@koala.justakoala4287 ok have a good day

@Kal17 I have some suspicion Koala may be Russian. Prigozhin's bots love pretending to be Ukrainians & demoralize Russians.
