Wait but Tucker Carlson told us Russia was an amazing place, better than America!
Let this fucker fade away into obscurity, please.
That guy can stay there if he likes it so much.
Go to jail if you speak out against the president, BUT, there is a nice chandelier in a subway station.
Lol, that bit where he praised their grocery store prices was insane. The average American makes over 300% what the average Russian makes in terms of salary.
That guy has dogshit for brains.
And Rachel Maddow and Hillary Clinton told us America is the greatest country in the world…

I’m sure the man that regularly participated in neo-nazi marches, advocated to strip non-ethnic Russians of their Russian citizenship, and called muslim Chechens cockroaches is worth celebrating.
Ya booiiiisss we reddit now!!! EDIT: nevermind it’s just a repost of a reddit thread. Please don’t pollute lemmy with reddit reposts. I quit that shithole site because of crappy posts like this. If it feels like it belongs on the front page of reddit, just post it on reddit instead. (or lemmy world)
They’ve arrested like 400 ppl across 30 cities, so far
In a 2007 pro-gun rights video, Navalny presents himself as a “certified nationalist” who wants to exterminate “flies and cockroaches” – while bearded Muslim men appear in cutaways. He whips out a gun and shoots an actor wearing a keffiyeh who tried to “attack” him.
Yeah maybe overt Russian white nationalists shouldn’t be revered and their supporters shouldn’t be given the right to freedom of expression.
Im not sure how i feel about that, and this might be an unpopular take, but does everyone need an absolutely untarnished past to be able to be recognized for something? Or can we just accept that while not a perfect person, he is a pretty decent figurehead for anti-putinism?
Yeah, not like he changed his tune at all since fucking 07.
Hey tell me about how invading a soverign country is totally cool and OK to do.

Opinions on this?
Oh great, so he’s a covert Russian white nationalist who only wants to exterminate Muslims in secret.
Wait…

If Biden sent Seal Team 6 after Trump, that would be a serious problem, and not because I revere Trump.
White nationalism shouldn’t be revered, but the right to freedom of expression should be.
The right for me to swing my fist ends where your chin begins.
He had recognized how wrong he was quite a while ago.

i can’t imagine she didn’t think she wasn’t going to jail for this
Maybe she had her reasons. Maybe she have had enough of all this. Their government tries to cut out the courageous and leave only spineless brainless matter that doesn’t resist.
at least she got a great photo to share on the pipes
This thread definitely will not get deleted
Though it absolutely should. If I wanted to see low quality content designed to ragebait, I would go to reddit.
