There’s a difference between noticing it and being angry and actually being able to functionally do anything about it, which is the real challenge. I’m sure there are a non-trivial amount of people extremely angry about this whole disaster, but actually organizing and trying to create some change would be extremely dangerous. I’m honestly not sure where a path forward comes from until Putin eventually dies.
Yeah there absolutely plenty of Russians who never wanted this war, and some of those Russians died on the front line fighting a war they didn’t agree with. Unfortunately when Putin’s mafia is murdering foreign journalists and carefully controlling the messaging the rest of the world sees, it’s hard to see just how many of them there are. It’s the byproduct of a fascist dictator state pretending to be a democracy, something that some people from my nation (the United States) are all too happy to try and get into power

Agreed, plus it’s hard to stage a rebellion when so many of your young are already dead
