> 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...

- qwytw 3y agoI'm not American.. Also the USSR for instance was objective more imperialist than the US. Arguably not on par the Great Britain of course, although it's debatable.. However considering the disproportional military and economical power US has wielded over the last 80 years it was exceptionally benign compared to almost all other historical global or local superpowers. > nazi style antirussian propaganda lol.. ok. You know that calling everyone nazis while actually behaving like nazis isn't worth much? Then again psychological projection seems to be deeply cultural ingrained in Russia at this point... Putin's Russia is almost literally Mussolini's Italy in most ways (economically/politically/militarily) just with more corruption and with everyone looking depressed and with less feathers on hats.
- donottell 3y agoYes, for nazis it also was "lol", or their equivalent of it. I tell you, you don't understand Russia (and how would you, if you listen to western, or much worse, ukranian " media"), you refuse to see that it was US who is the primary responsible for this war, and you refuse to see the nature of US propaganda which led to this war (Russians guilty of everything, as jews in medieval Europe or the nazi Germany). But your refusal does not change the reality.
