The funniest thing I've seen on Lemmy was someone insisting socialism is pragmatic and liberals are idealists, because it comes to mind every single god-dang time one of y'all shits all over opposition to outright dictatorship. So long as the dictator is from a country you insist was actually state-capitalist - the real evil is anyone fighting brutal profiteering autocracy, unless they're ideologically pure.

Navalny is a literal racist and far right nationalist. Even western mainstream media was forced to admit this.

In 2021, a BBC article reported even Amnesty International was forced to strip Navalny’s “prisoner of conscience” status for the violence and hate he unremorsefully promoted https://www.bbc.com/news/world-europe-56181084

That same month, US government-funded Radio Free Europe likewise was forced to concede Navalny’s extremist background https://www.rferl.org/a/navalny-failure-to-renounce-nationalist-past-support/31122014.html

The fact that people like you champion him as some OpPosItiOn to a DicTatoRshiP, shows just how utterly morally bankrupt you lot are.

"Forced to admit"? That means they reported on him, accurately, the way free media does. I don't know what's worse, how thick the Putin propaganda is here, or how little effort is behind it.

The fact that a bunch of mouth breathers in this thread are defending a literal fascist shows that western propaganda works as intended.

Good point, except that nobody is defending him at all, so dumb point.

I guess that's something a person with poor reading comprehension might say.
