    No, it happened because people with guns killed or threatened anyone who didn’t do their jobs.
    Personal safety people! Most of us care for it more than we care for others.

    I mean look at the Israel thing. Protesting is nice but is anyone actually doing anything about it? Any of you? Any of your armed forces? Any of your governments?

    Oh, you’re not going to vote for whichever candidate is running next. Good for you. Doesn’t help the people already dead or dying, but keep doing that.

    Ah Russia vs Ukraine, Russians should protest harder and overthrow the totally-not-gonna-shoot-them-in-the-face government. It’s the right thing to do. Cheers to that.

    But no, it’s easier to just say “majority of Russians actually support the war” like it’s not a complete sack of bullshit.

    Shoulda, woulda, coulda is a nice sentiment, but it’s also just that, a sentiment. Life’s tougher than spoken or written words because nobody wants to be someone else’s cannon fodder.

    Unity only works in two situations:

    • nothing else left
    • bigger guns than the other side

    Any uncertainty will always break up a group, always. Which is why it’s so easy to disperse protesters.
