"convince the russian population that what their president is doing is wrong"
<midfavila>
from what I've heard on the news most Russians already disagree with it
<testuser[m]>
yeah
<midfavila>
the ultimate reality is that governments have no direct incentive to listen to the people, doubly so when it's a definitely-totally-fair-not-rigged-guys democracy
<midfavila>
not to mention that the denial of service to russia will only affect a minority of the population
<midfavila>
most normies prolly don't even know what shithub is
<midfavila>
and then there's the whole "vpns exist" point that someone makes in that thread, to which the response is "we'll just stop providers from offering support to russia!"
<midfavila>
stupidest shit I've seen in a while
<illiliti_m>
well, github already block people from crimea
ehawkvu[m] has quit [Ping timeout: 256 seconds]
<midfavila>
and crimeans probably just either use a proxy or some other site for VCS
<midfavila>
the idea that github has any sort of value geopolitically is hilarious
<illiliti_m>
Yeah, it has no value really
<illiliti_m>
Better to block youtube
<midfavila>
because yandex doesn't exist

<midfavila>
yandex must have a video-hosting solution
<illiliti_m>
Yandex sucks so much
<midfavila>
/shrug
<testuser[m]>
Also bruh people telling others to risk getting arrested or killed in a protest from the safety of their basement
<midfavila>
Yeah.
<illiliti_m>
most people who says that don't know what is putin's russia
<illiliti_m>
first people get arrested
<illiliti_m>
then, authorities torture people by putting mop(or rifle) into the ass
<illiliti_m>
there's a video of these tortures. highly recommended to watch before writing such comments
<illiliti_m>
and yes, we can't do anything right now to take down putin
* midfavila
nods
<midfavila>
I recall reading that Putin doesn't take kindly to dissidents.

welcome fellow blyat
<Guest9893>
Hahah
<illiliti_m>
midfavila: he kills them in most cases
<illiliti_m>
like, he tried to poison navalny
<midfavila>
He's the dude who keeps running for president, right?
<illiliti_m>
He successfully killed Boris nemtsov
<illiliti_m>

midfavila: navalny tried to become president in 2018, but he failed because CEC didn't register him for absolutely unlawful reasons
<illiliti>
CEC is controlled by putin
<illiliti>
everything in russia is controlled by him tbh
<midfavila>
so I hear
<midfavila>
hah, I'll have to mention this stuff to one of my housemates
<midfavila>
he's been sucking Putin off since the start of the Ukraine business
<midfavila>
despite knowing literally nothing about anything
<illiliti>
omg
<midfavila>
yeah
<midfavila>
he's an armchair historian, so he tries to analyse everything through the lens of the french revolutions as if those are an accurate model of most things today
<midfavila>
then acts all incredulous when you call him on his shit
<midfavila>
it's incredibly frustrating :v
<illiliti>
so he's narrow-minded
<illiliti>
pretty bad
<midfavila>
Yeah, that's a good way to sum him up.
<midfavila>
He can't think for himself, so he relies on other people to make his points for him
<midfavila>
any time you corner him, he just appeals to authority
* midfavila
shrugs
<illiliti>
most people in russia who are brain-damaged by tv propaganda act exactly like your housemate
<illiliti>
they refuse to understand that they are wrong
<illiliti>
i hope i could get out from this shithome
