Well good for you.

Those men have a choice, they could fight for their freedom in Russia. There's hundreds of thousands of them, and there's millions more with aligning interest. There's no reason to think it would be more dangerous for them to refuse en masse than it is to go to Ukraine, in fact it would likely be less dangerous, as the casualty rates for Russians in Ukraine are just horrendous. 300.000 men is plenty to take on Kremlin, now that the bulk of the military AND much of their internal security forces are tied up in Ukraine.
These men will rather risk their lives taking part in a genocide in Ukraine than fighting for freedom in their own country. That's their choice, and they deserve no sympathy for what ever happens to them when they decide to attack another country.
Cowardice is no excuse to take part in murder.

So you thanked a post in this thread by someone confirming they managed to flee rather than risk conscription or fight in this revolution you’re saying those who couldn’t flee need to start(FTR I don’t disagree with someone choosing to flee), but the people who didn’t have the means to do so and also likely didn’t have the means to fight off armed soldiers showing up at their doors with very little notice are cowards? That seems like an extremely hypocritical stance.
There’s probably a large number of conscripts who plan on surrendering as soon as they are out of the country that may die on the way to doing so. I suppose in your view they should have just planned better and are therefore undeserving of any empathy.
I generally agree with a lot of things you post on this forum but IMO this is just a bad and incredibly obtuse take.
