I'm trying to compare Alexei with some other known political figures. For Americans, I think Alexei is roughly comparable to MLK. USA was able to gradually turn from some positions to different others. For Russia it seems the current situation is still the fall to the deeper chasms of self-destruction.

> I'm trying to compare Alexei with some other known political figures. For Americans, I think Alexei is roughly comparable to MLK. If you are comparing him to MLK, you've not seen Navalny's videos on Central Asians I guess (in case you need a summary: compares them to insects that need to be exterminated then kills one with a handgun).

  I think I'm quite familiar with Alexei's actions.

  Navalny was a russian chovinist, but it's nothing special for russians unfortunately. I don't know what video you mean, but I guess it's from times when Navalny ran campaign for major of Moscow – it was quite popular position back then. But his positions softened a lot since then.

      I wish we had more guns in Russia. Then the war wouldn't have happened -- how could you conscript a person if you know he can shoot you the moment you come for him?

      This is promoting gun rights. Seems like he's comparing burglars to insects. What part is racist toward Central Asians?

  It's easy to defame a dead guy. You don't know what you are talking about.

  I was hesitant to click on the video link but I clicked anyway Actually very carefully designed, he never calls anyone inferior or talks about extermination. To me, even if he was proudly racist (which I'm not sure he was) he still is a hero. Anyone tortured and murdered by Putin is a hero

  He compares burglars to insects, not Asians. Do you have other evidence?

Are you serious? He’s more comparable to Trump or KKK leadership!

He was more like MAGA and Julian Assange combined. Nationalism is very strong in post-Soviet Russia and Putin managed to destroy most of the major groups over the years, they are underground now. Putin was good for the US for this reason alone but not anymore.
