    He’s a fascist of the neo Nazi variety. Constantly dehumanized Caucasians (of the Caucasus mountains like chechens dagastanis Georgians Armenians etc). He’s basically the zelenskiyiyiyiyi of Russia

      I can’t find anything on the neo-nazi thing in particular (I don’t doubt it), but he’s certainly fash, no doubt. I’m just suggesting that he’s anti-immigration fash standing in opposition to pro-assimilation fash. The only reason anti-immigration seems to be such an anti-state position in Russia is because Putin has correctly read that Russia has a population crisis and is seeking to remedy that by turning foreigners into Russians. Navalny doesn’t seem more or less fascist than Putin, he just seems to have a different idea as to what to do with the Other. Which is I guess a reason to bring the 🦀s out, but no more or less so than when Putin kicks it, besides that Putin is a very expedient thorn in international-community-1international-community-2’s side.

      The one biggest reason I could imagine celebrating Navalny’s death is that he is the enemy of our enemy’s enemy (Navalny/The West/Putin). Besides that, he’s just as fash as a lot of folks who we critically support due to their relation to the West, like Lukashenko and Assad.
