    That’s such an out of touch with reality thing to say. This is how authoritarianism works. You’re either subservient or a criminal with no human rights. Do you think they get a choice other than being locked or hanging themselves?

    This is why I’m usually careful about addressing the Russian government rather than its people. There are loads of good people in Russia and I hope eventually they’re no longer forced by evil leadership to be the world’s antagonists.
