X suspends account of Navalny’s wife::The widow of Alexei Navalny, Yulia Navalnaya, has had her X account restored after it was briefly suspended for unknown reasons. Meanwhile, his brother has been put on Russia’s wanted list. Listen to a Daily podcast special on the Russian opposition after Navalny’s death as you scroll.
I’m shocked how many people are still defending a xenophobic, right wing, white nationalist because he opposed Putin.
it’s kind of a common trope in history that pieces of shit can still represent the idea of a broader good.
ghandi was also pretty much scum irl too. (this comment defends neither of them and implies no further similarities than that they are shitty and represented an oppositional movement.)
There was no good in Navalny, he was the Russian version of Nick Fuentes. And the US is exploiting his death to overshadow the conversation that people are tired of war.
