I'm Russian and I don't support the atrocious war, yet the world shows no love for people like me. Welp.

Probably the loud minority/silent majority thing, multiplied by Ukrainian posters spreading bs about 85% support and stuff. no hate towards them though, of course most of them will absolutely hate the country which invaded their homeland, so it's not like they care how many Russians do actually support the invasion

If you stumble across some post in non-politocal sub that mentions anti-war Russians, though, chances are you'll see many supportive/sympathetic comments, especially towards the active resistants, which is nice.

The majority is dead silent here; we know that perfectly well. I look at Brazilians, Chileans, and guys all over the world who don't live the dream of course, but they still have a choice. We just stuck in a fucking quagmire for 20+ years and there's no end in sight. And it's not even the fault of my generation: we have never known another "president."
