    I don’t need to trust OOP. In USians own words that they were repeating ad nauseam on Reddit for the past four years, Russians are all responsible for Putin’s actions because they didn’t overthrow him. Tell me why the same shouldn’t apply to USians.

    They said that Russians should’ve protested, and that would cure Putin’s dictatorship. Which Russians did, culminating with Bolotnaya in 2011, after which the downturn to authoritarianism only accelerated; and particularly in east and north regions practically every year, with six months of protests sometimes.

    They also said that Russians should’ve overthrown Putin with other means, i.e. unarmed clerks should’ve gone against the police, Rosgvardiya, FSB and the military.

    Well let’s see then how this protesting thing and overthrowing thing works out for USians, and if it doesn’t then we will speak the same of them as they did about Russians. Trump is still on the throne after one year, yall seem to be slacking.

        Yeah, why don’t I also overthrow Trump while I’m at it, since USians seemingly can’t do shit about him despite talking a lot of talk. And then overthrow Vučić and Orbán because I’m responsible for all of them, and never people of those countries themselves.

            Yeah no. Talk is cheap. USians can depose Trump and show the example for all the world, or they can shut up about how they personally didn’t enable Trump’s regime.
