    Yeah newsflash, I wasn’t a racist shit head like Navalny 10 years ago, and still aren’t. But I’m sure he woke up one day and magically shed all his racism and now he’s just a super swell guy.

    You realize we’re communists and don’t want Navalny to win right? The fuck do we do with a lying liberal taking over Russia? How does that help communism?

      Despite there actually being a small chance for a little thing to quickly change one’s opinion about something, I believe 10+ years is more than enough time to gradually change your mind, especially due how much the world around you is changing. I know a number people who were homophobic and racist, like, five or so years ago. But then one thing made a big push towards then changing their opinion.

      I mean, it’s not me posting about him and calling him things without providing any recent evidence. That’s why I ask things.

        You don’t need recent evidence. I think the fact that he’s never disavowed his bigoted beliefs is enough cause for concern. If you think he believes something different about muslim migrants now, it is your burden of proof.

        The linked article on the Grayzone mentions that in an interview after the alleged poisoning, he stated that he has the same views as when he went into politics. So it’s not just something 10+ years ago, he’s admitted quite recently that his views haven’t changed.
