Russian authorities say that Alexei Navalny, the fiercest foe of Russian President Vladimir Putin who crusaded against official corruption and staged massive anti-Kremlin protests, died in prison. He was 47. (AP Photo)

Funny how my life improved when I started blocking instances that put up with the likes of you
I need a hexbear to ppg this nerd
Yes, that’s exactly what I meant. Some bubbles are just toxic and interacting with them poisons your mind with no upsides. And by some weird process of the mind, you, for instance, are capable of thinking that your bubble is just fine and healthy.
Man if you think the only people I talk to are people on lemmygrad, you’re absolutely braindead. This is some next-level mental gymnastics to assume that I interact with nobody outside of this platform. Literally uninstall and go touch grass. You clearly don’t need mental stimulation so you could even go buy a little patch of cat grass to pet while you sit in time out like for being a bad, stupid baby who pouts when they don’t get their treats.
Seriously though, it’s kinda pathetic to flaunt your degredation kink on your main account. I would normally imagine you were doing that on purpose, but I don’t think you have them mental faculties necessary to plan out a singular action, so I’ll be kind. Venmo me whenever your mom gives you your allowance, no rush.
What the fuck is your problem? Instead of actually addressing what I said you just want to start getting transphobic? How about this: would you object to the arrest of the neo-nazis at Charlottesville? I don’t understand what you think is redeemable about this man, all nazis deserve death. We fought a war over this, probably the biggest one yet.
Edit: Oh nice, you’re just gonna edit your comment after claiming that every person with pronouns in their name has shitty opinions. If you’re gonna be a transphobic dick at least say it with your whole chest.
You think it’s a bad thing that I recognized I said something shitty and edited it away?
Perhaps this will answer your question:

I think it’s a bad thing that you covered it up instead of owning up to it and apologizing for that fucked up thing you said.
Fair enough. I apologize for the fucked up thing I said which was to note that people with gender info in their usernames tend to have opinions that are deeply wrong to me in ways unrelated to gender identity.
You expect me to believe that the man that went to a well-known neo-nazi march for 4 consecutive years in the 2010’s just got his shit together and decided to stop being a nazi while still backing the nationalist party in Russia? He’s not even the most electable candidate against Putin which makes this whole bandwagon everyone’s on even more ridiculous, the second most popular party in Russia is the Liberal Democratic Party of Russia. But everyone keeps trying to posture this supposedly ex-nazi as the last opponent Putin has ever had. It’s ridiculous and not based in reality.
This dude believes it: https://www.rightsinrussia.org/aleksandr-verkhovsky/
Or is he a nazi as well?
I don’t know what you expect me to do here, start sucking this random dude’s dick? I don’t care about his opinion. Living in rural America I’ve seen plenty of nazis and Navalny is no different, especially when he’s made his career on advocating for the genocide of muslims in his country. Would you accept the apology of the Grand Wizard of the KKK and just believe he changed his ways because some guy vouched for him?
I get that real actual nazis are horrible and need to be put down, but I feel like you’re exaggerating both the severity of Navalny’s political positions and downplaying Verkhovsky’s position by quite a bit.
He called Muslims cockroaches and performed a commercial shooting a man in brownface wearing a cockroach costume with a gun. I don’t know what can convince you how much of a depraved and fucked up man he is. I don’t know if this link is going to work but here’s footage of him being interviewed at a nazi march. it’ll probably try to get you to download the video.
I do not know how you can sit here and try to convince me that this is a good man worth mourning. He was a sick man.
Edit: also here’s the cockroach video, actually up on YouTube still https://youtu.be/hT0tCSaWZ9Q?si=h0jC4oe4XiT4yZ_B
