Have you ever lived under a dictatorship? You do realise we can't just vote him out? He has guns pointed at us as well.

  • The people holding the guns are still just people though right? I think the point of these economic pressures is to eventually have those people with the guns turn around and point them on Putin.

    • That's a much bigger ask than you seem to realize. Overthrowing a dictator is an incredibly bloody undertaking. Even if you win, there's no guarantee that whoever takes control of the country will be any better.

    • The people who hold the guns do not use Namecheap they use official Russian registrators. Sberbank(which is under the sacntions) for example payed tens of thousand of dollars (https://habr.com/ru/news/t/591929/) for prolonging its domains(seems like corruption right?). Namecheap was used by simple developers, but I see that it was mistake to trust them.
