That's my point. It's easy to advocate something when you have no intention of participating.

That's called American syndrome. "Yea! Let's all stand up to the gov!"... * waits for someone else to do it first

So does it mean that I shouldn't say anything about that issue? Does it mean that you should not support the protesters in Ukraine if you are not Ukrainian, because you have no intention of participating?

Also - this is Hacker News, not Hacker News USA, so if something is important enough that it's brought to the attention of the worldwide population, then that population should be able to voice their opinion on the matter.
