110%. So much tough guy internet keyboard warrior tough talk in this thread it's hilarious. 95% of regular people don't have the balls to be the ones to stand up to Russian militia, police, security enforcers in a protest to try and get the required hundreds of thousands / MILLIONS of people to rise up and join the kind of mass protest truly needed. Furthermore, Russia has adequately demonstrated, throughout history long ago and recently, that they will absolutely tolerate precisely zero protest or political / regime change engagement so you better pray you aren't the first one to stand up, or you may just end up like that lady in the video a couple pages back.

So no, everyone sitting around clamouring that Russian people need to stand up, I doubt any of you would do anything first of all in the same position and second of all and importantly- what- precisely are you expecting Larry the plumber or Suzie the librarian to do against these properly trained and armed security personnel that have actual direct orders to cause as much harm as fast as possible against you?

If a mass protest starts to erupt, I 1,000,000% expect Russia to start unloading on its own crowds. Without doubt. It'll be a slaughterfest, and there will be exactly zero protests thereafter. Let's get a bit real here people. Are you going to go run up and stage a protest, or get the absolute #### outta there? This is not a tough decision when the weight of the fragility of life is concerned.
