I've got to ask how many times you've been arrested or jailed fighting for justice in your country. It's very easy to talk about this, it's a lot harder to do it, especially in a place like Russia. I've been arrested while protesting twice and once thrown in max security jail (luckily bailed out within a couple days) and I dealt with the follow-up for many stressful years. It stinks.
In any event I encourage you to use some of that passion of yours fighting for what's right in your own country & putting your own life & livelihood on the line. God speed!
Edit: in USA.
You can rest assured that when X declares in the internet:
"why doesnt Y protest and go to jail for righteusness!"
It will never fail that X has neither righteusness, nor follow their own advice.
Armchair fighters always fight with words, never actions, and will always send someone else to fight THE fight.
If my country, unprovoked, invaded a sovereign nation and threatened any intervening countries with a nuclear response, I would be out in the fucking streets. The people in Russia doing this are heroic, but more need to be doing it.
