Yeah, the Navalny people especially were always suspect - but that's not really surprising, considering how fundamentally nationalist they always were. They still see Putin's mercenary killers of Ukrainians as "our boys" first and foremost, and therefore always more important than Ukrainian lives.

At which point I just had it with them and no longer see any Russian public figures or Liberals as worth listening to, at all.

This was my last straw with giving any grace to "good" Russians, to be honest - especially paired with the fact that they tiptoed around humanitarian concerns with Ukraine (e.g. only supported children's charities based in Lithuania or something, but never fundraised for ZSU or expressed support for

Same, but I've seen screenshots. It's ugly. Especially considering how flagrantly unlawful that real-world killing is (re: boats off Venezuela, for example).

The real question is why government official accounts are also being allowed to get away with doing exactly that (except more openly and actually following through).

Look, I'm not an SK fanboy by any means - I've never paid for her work and occasionally disagree with her conclusions. But to call her a grifter, really? What's the grift? Her style of journalism is well-established, especially in American essay-writing. So... what's all this about?

"histrionic" at a woman journalist being deplatformed - you done yet? That's low for you. This misogynistic dogpile among certain accounts I've been watching is the "histrionic" thing that needs to stop. You're being fucking assholes, and should be ashamed.

I hate pedos and I don’t care what team they’re on. Jail them all and throw away the key

At this point, the whole site might need to go in the woodchipper feet first (as the post Patton got suspended for very appropriately said).
