Good for them.

Don't die for someone else's war.

This isn't someone else's war.

I'll believe that when rich people get sent to the front lines.

Smart people*

Throughout history, the most intelligent people always fled conflict.

It's the meatheads and useful idiots who stay and fight.

Unfortunate reality in war. Even though it's a just fight for the Ukranians it's an incredibly difficult decision to make for many.

When the regime has to force people to fight against their will, then there's no longer any legitimacy and the regime does not represent the people.

[-] Olifant@lemmy.ml 1 points 1 year ago

The Russian people have never had a regime with their best interests at heart so that's nothing new.

[-] yogthos@lemmy.ml 2 points 1 year ago

Yup, and this is clearly demonstrated by the fact that quality of life in Russia keeps improving.

Whether it's the persecution of minorities by labelling them as terrorists, clamping down of freedom of speech, punishing people who even dare hint at war criticism, shutting down any remotely viable opposition to dear old Vlad or slowly killing his political rivals in penal colonies, publicly dismissing warnings of actual terrorist attacks until it's too late... yeah, they're living in clover.

I'm sure the victims of the most recent terror attack would gladly agree with you.
