Jailed Russian opposition leader Alexei Navalny is dead, the prison service of the Yamalo-Nenets region where he had been serving his sentence said on Friday.
I get your point. He is a bad guy, so we should focus on that, rather than the fact that he probably was poisoned for the second time by a political opponent.
We should for sure upvote this article about a video from 17 years ago…
Wow you made quite a stretch from what I actually said. Try to understand nuance, politics isn’t always black and white. People who criticise one thing don’t have to support the biggest alternative
Hard to see something if you’ve got your eyes closed. There’s plenty of liberal support for Assange, just this week the centre right led government of Australia passed a motion to urge the UK and US to return him to Australia.
I wasn’t saying him dying was good, but I was saying that the people acting like he is some kind of perfect hero are ignorant and deserve to be called out on it
Yet Navalny’s more nationalist views are troubling. Last year he spoke at the Russky Marsh, where some protesters made Nazi salutes. He has also endorsed a movement called Enough of Feeding the Caucasus, which protests against the theft of state funding but which critics see as xenophobic. And a video that Navalny recorded for Narod several years ago called for arming the population to shoot Chechen bandits.
but he doesn’t like Putin so he must be a great flawless person who can never be critisiced

Strawman argument. Can’t expect better.
Also, I don’t see any sympathy among liberals for Julian Assange, who’s a jounalist and a legitimate political prisoner.

Ignorance is rewarded with upvotes here.
Assange is being tortured for the crime of publishing facts.

Not that it would make the slightest difference to the lib cult.

Agree 100%
So in 2012 he says that Russia shouldn’t spend money on forcing Chechnya to still be part of Russia. And that Chechen bandits are a problem.
Later in 2015 Chechen bandits hired by Kadirov(and certanly with Putler’s agreement) kill Nemtsov(oppositioner) right near Kremlin.
In 2022-present Kadirov’s troops kill Ukrainians.
Nothing changed. Caucasus is still region where laws don’t work.
