Moreover, denying the humanity of your opponents is the first step to denying them any rights. I'm saddened to see some of our posters falling to this level. Then there's the naivete of typical, coddled westerners who have no idea of life outside their countries as seen in post # 40 above. Few of us would have the courage to stand up to a tyrannical regime if we lived in countries like North Korea or Russia.

Way to propagate subservience. Authoritarianism is intrinsically harsh, and that includes resisting it.

I'm just pointing out that most people would not choose to resist. Which authoritarian regimes have you overthrown as an ordinary citizen?

We are discussing ideology, you sir, just pivoted, and that doesn't make the truth of the matter any less relevant.
Personally, if it comes down to it I will kick, scream, fight and DIE if necessary to protect my family's rights and future.

I didn't pivot. I only clarified my original position. I'm sure most of us would fight for our loved one's rights, but the question is would you fight for the rights of foreigners being oppressed by your country? The answer is clear from the apathy of most westerners' to the crimes of their own armed forces and allies. If you don't protest those, how can you expect ordinary Russians who live in a far more dangerous situation than you to do that?

Except that's not how this goes, or works. You are slowly pushed into a situation. Like the slowly warming pot of water. You're the frog.
