| > There is a considerable amount of open criticism in Russia, and individuals are not being incarcerated or silenced for it. Just like that father of a schoolgirl who drew antiwar drawings at school and had the impudence to criticize the government after the (scum) principal decided to call the police on her? Really? What about other people who've been sentenced for years for doing absolutely nothing but sharing their (quite mild opinions) on the war. > There is a considerable amount of open criticism in Russia, From fascist imperialist who think that putin is not murdering enough people. Sure. As long as they they say out loud the open secret that he's utterly incompetent. But no there isn't and there can't be. I bet you would've also have said that the USSR was a democracy and had freedom of speech? > harming their own people for personal gain If that was the case Putin and his cronies would've faced the firing squad years ago. > The U.S. or any other behemoth corporation is no different, rendering this argument meaningless. Come on... You can't just say "{RANDOM_COMPLETELY_NONSENSICAL_THING_} therefore you'r argument is meaningless" and expect anyone to take it seriously? I'm just not quite sure why are you feeling compelled to share you ideas here? It's not like anything you say could make any sense to anyone who isn't a deranged pseudo-fascist... |
