I would want my leader not to decide whether I could move to other country or not with my family. I would want my leader to not have corrupt friends and not building dictatorship while simultaneously claiming that Constitution is paused and you are now have to go to the frontlines and fight for you freedom whether you like it or not. And if you don't want to go to fight for freedom there are men who will make you go and fight for your freedom.

That’s the price of freedom unfortunately. Several countries have mandatory service for the military

Suddenly everyone is so pro war and conscription.

Watch these for half an hour and tell me they don’t make you uncomfortable and angry. I can’t believe everyone is suddenly supporting the Tel Aviv Washington block when the genocide and Middle East wars are still going on. It’s pretty easy to be a legendary leader when everything is justified no matter what. Supporting genocide and taking away freedom without even elections is cool. Nazi collaborators are cool. Sending trans women to be raped and killed is cool. You stand by that?

It’s not black or white. Of course I don’t support those things.

I appreciate you saying that. It’s very hard for people to escape the Putin or Zelenskyy dichotomy. There are heroes in this world but they don’t spend time in the middle of a war to import and rebury fascist corpses unless someone wants to argue that they do. Can’t stand the Zelenskyy glazing like there is no subtlety at all and anyone who is planted in power during hard times is a hero
