    Everything I don’t like is a Russian bot. Surely other people are not capable of having views that oppose my superior view. I’m European, I’m the best thing that happened to this world.

    The western press always talked about this guy as if he was the primary opposition to Putin. It would be like saying RFK Jr. is the primary opposition to Biden. He never had much going for him in terms of popularity.

    I’ve also never once seen westerners give any kind of approval to the Russian communist party, even though they’re the largest opposition party. I know they’re revisionists or whatever, but it’s a good indication that a westerner has limits on how anti-Putin they are.

      was put in prison in Siberia

      It actually seems to be one of the indicators that he was “legit” to libs. Because in liberal mind, modern Russia is the same “ebil totalitarian KGB hellholle” as USSR.

    I thought the libs had decided that the Russian pro-democracy movement wanted to remove the red stripe from the Russian flag because they didn’t like the war or some shit?

    Maybe they forgot.

      If that is the case, we might be able to reintroduce the Soviet flag without them noticing

      Oh nah, that’s the new batch. IIRC the silly flag is used by the “Russian volunteer Corps” in AFU, one of their pet foreign nazi units

    I thought there are only orcs in Russia. Are there now good and bad orcs? If he is a hero of Russia, does this mean he is a hero of orcs?

    The liberals view the world like a Marvel movie: fictional heroes and villains fighting each other.

    Regular Russians remembers what ‘democracy’ looked like in the 90s, anybody who will try to reinstate this will get the same treatment as Navalny. The West has dreamt for over 100 years to balkanize Csarist Russia/USSR/Russian Federation, to seize their natural resources. Breaking Russia into a dozen feuding republics is the dream of every strategist in the State Department.

    Navalny is pretty much the perfect r/europe user. A nazi larping as a Liberal who sometimes says that he wants to genocide minorities.

    This is so fucking embarrassing. It’s going to be interesting to see if they’ll regret their actions in the near future. Only time will tell.

      Stage 1. Navalny remembrance posts and fanfics. Wailing and gnashing of teeth. <- Still here right now.

      Stage 2. Normal people forget who Navalny is.

      Stage 3. Navalny is adopted into some reddit lib copypasta to ward away “pro-russian disinformation agents” in the same way that they use Tiananmen Square with China.

      Stage 4. Most redditors forget who Navalny is, occasionally invoked as half-hearted attempt to drum up some russophobic sentiments.
