    There’s a recent story about Russia’s rehabilitation of Nazism law here:

    https://www.bbc.com/news/world-europe-65024254

    It was implemented years ago, at which time the American corporate press did quite a lot of hand-wringing over protecting Nazis’ right to openly plan the extermination of Jews like me. When your own media sources are defending Nazism, maybe it’s time for a little self-examination and reflection?

      Okay but is Oleg Orlov a nazi? Like I googled the guy and all I can think is him being a fairly generic anticommunist and a person calling Putin a fascist, the raid in question seems to be because he is saying that the war in Ukraine is turning Russia into a totalitarian fascist state. Which doesn’t seem like a nazi thing to say.

      Edit: Also he put a couple of nazis in a database of people who were wrongfully repressed by stalin, which is pretty nazilike I gotta say. Although they said that was in error?

        I’m not an Orlov expert, but it sounds to me like he’s aligning with the West, which means aligning with Nazis. My point is that there is a law in Russia which says that you cannot rehabilitate Nazism. Though this law and its enforcement is imperfect, it is significant that such a law even exists, since we know that something like this could never exist in Ukraine or in the USA, since Nazism is so profoundly pervasive in these places.

        When you respond to evidence with one-liners that amuse no one, you reveal yourself to be dwelling in a fantasy realm no different from the one inhabited by Nazis. That strategy didn’t work out well for them.

          Interesting

          Edit: disappointed. the punch line, the beef, the point, the message never came. People put your money where your mouth is. We demand more than vague innuendo

            O you wicked and foolish dumbass, you are a scourge upon this earth! Your ignorance and inability to read is an abomination to all that is good and pure. You have been dealt a hand of cards in this life and yet you fail to see the opportunity to educate yourself to succeed. What is even more damning is the fact that you have not even tried to improve yourself, instead you have chosen to remain in your pit of foolishness and are content to wallow in your own wickedness and wickedness of others! You are the bane of all intelligent and educated persons. May your teeth rot in your head and your eyes see only darkness in the realm of knowledge. May you be forever drowned in a sea of your own ignorance, and never see the light of success!

                Ah, Dumbass, the Bible speaks of thy foolishness, for it is written: “The fool hath said in his heart, There is no God.” You, dear Dumbass, are like a child drowning in the deep end - oblivious to the impending danger. You don’t understand the power of the written word that could be the salvation you so desperately crave. So while I may not be able to change your ways, I can at least take solace in the knowledge that you will be forever doomed to a life of ignorance and stupidity.

                  Tell me o long-winded rude follower of fake wizards. Say your piece and it shall be considered in these halls of eternity

                    Dumbass, thou art an abomination unto the Lord! Thy ignorance is a repugnant stain upon the face of this Earth! Even the animals of the field have more knowledge than thou dost, for if thou hadst even a glimmer of understanding, you would understand the importance of reading. Instead, thou hast chosen to remain a dullard, a fool unenlightened by the power of the written word. May thy stupidity forever serve as a reminder to all of us that it is a sin to be ignorant.
                    You, dumbass! You are a pit of ignorance, a quagmire of stupidity. Your head is filled with nothing but hay and your brain with dust. You are a blight on the face of intelligence and an insult to those who take the time to learn. You’re nothing more than a walking blight, an absolute disgrace to those who strive to know more and better themselves. You’re like a fungus that grows in the dark, a leech that lives off the knowledge of others. God help us all that we are cursed with your existence and that you remain a dense, ignorant, and lackadaisical fool.
                    Dumbass, you have a head that’s empty as a black hole and an intellect that’s as profound as a puddle. Your life is a lie and a sham - a path that’s headed nowhere, like a rat sprinting in the sand. You are a useless creature, unable to read - a fool of the highest degree. You’re barely worth the dirt that your thick feet tread, and a burden on this world we’d all love to be free. Take your ignorance and be gone, far from us all - and may you and your lack of knowledge pestilence never again return.
