    Make sure you read to the end of that article. Nevalny himself (NPR interview, maybe?) admitted that he has courted the far right as well as the left in his bid to expose corruption within the Russian system and gain enough support to attempt to topple the Putin regime. He is unapologetic about it as he feels his intent (to clean up Russia and push for democracy) justifies his acceptance of all Russians as fellow countrymen. Like most people seeking power, his path is not pure and his antagonists will use that to poison any positive message he presents.

      that’s putting it lightly. calling all muslims “cockroaches” and calling for the deportation of all immigrants it’s exactly “courting the far right” he got kicked out of his party for being too far-right extremist and founded a nationalist organization right after. we can call that “courting the far right” or we can call that “being an instrumental leader of the far right”

              And I thought communists were supposed to be the tide that raises ALL ships.

              It’s too bad Karl didn’t see the Jews as being included.

                  Removed for misinformation. Liberals do not support Nazis and Biden is not engaging in a genocide in Gaza.

                    They are eulogizing a dead Nazi because he opposed Putin, Biden is funding and providing weapons to commit genocide, and his own UN representatives has veto a ceasefire resolution. That’s engaging on genocide

          i’m pretty sure this sub is heavily manipulated by some sort of astroturfing bot net. mostly because it seems like a word for word echo of /r/politics and we know that sub is heavily manipulated

          so i just hope some real people see this and re-evaluate their positions. one guy at least seemed genuinely curious and wasn’t aware. so that’s something, at least.

              It’s a neoliberal type of left. Basically establishment DNC. You know, the type to ask your pronouns before they launch a bomb with a pride flag on it at brown people.

              Regardless, it’s still heavily manipulated. My ex-gf worked for DNC and participated in these types of “outreach campaigns”.

              Don’t take anything you read online at face value
