So from your perspective it is ok to generalize and discriminate the minority? Sorry, but how are you better than Putin then?

How is he better than Putin? I think it’s safe to assume he never invaded a sovereign nation? (Or murdered any journalists, or shot down a passenger jet, or murdered political rivals, or bombed apartment blocks, or attacked foreign elections, or sponsored mercenary groups to overthrow African governments)
but the narrative is the same. if minority disagrees it’s ok to fuck them over.
If you genuinely believe that russian people chose to live under the dictatorship, then following the same logic you could say that african-americans chose to live in slavery. Does it also sound reasonable to you?
The statement “oh well, you are a minority, so you deserve to be discriminated” is quite an ignorant thing to say. Don’t you think so?
The passenger jet example isn't the best, since the US shot down a passenger jet.

No it is not. Do a little research and you will find the examples of everything mentioned.
do my research on what? on russian dictatorship? on logic? on slavery? lol If you see inconsistency in my reasoning, I’m happy to hear your criticism, but not lazy “go do research”, coz you have nothing to say

Bystanders living in Russia are defacto supporting the regime by paying taxes, working, buying goods, etc.
Leaving isn’t free, but it’s much safer than protesting inside Russia.
But not as complicit as say the German government, which is controlled by a much smaller number of people and made a disproportionally larger contribution to the Russian war coffers.
Leaving isn't just expensive, but there are also matters such as visas.
