Fuck off with that debatebro bullshit. Please actually read what I said.
If someone is trying to overthrow a government, especially on behalf of foreign powers, that government will try to stop and arrest them. This isn't a moral statement, it is a factual one. Russia isn't fucking Mordor, it's a real country, and it functions like one, governments will act to preserve their own existence. I don't know why this is an impossible concept for libs to grasp.
Because they see reality like fucking Marvel movies. I'd love to believe that it's propaganda but honestly it's just because their privilege allows them to be insulated from real world shit.
Sure is convenient for them that all those bad guys are always over there in those bad guy countries and they don't actually need to do anything to be a "good guy."
Redsails articles are always appropriate here: https://redsails.org/masses-elites-and-rebels/
Btw. Mordor was not less real than Gondor and Rohan, there are snippets of lore here and there about it having a functioning economy, society and international relations, just in the book we mostly see the volcanic wilderness and hot war-condition military infrastructure in its west part.
