At the same time, you have many people on Lemmy that parrot Putin’s line that every pro-democracy protest in the world is just some plot by the CIA and should be suppressed.

  1. Not from the article
  2. Not related to the civil rights discussion raised by the article
  3. No source for this quote
  4. Cherrypicking one-sided events from a conflict that lasted almost an entire year
  5. Russian propaganda blaming the National Endowment for Democracy (sub: CIA) for all protests worldwide
  6. Misinformation claiming that subway stations were set on fire
  7. Misinformation claiming that protesters deliberately attacked the man who was killed by a falling brick

This doesn’t contribute to the discussion.

His coaching from his campaign is showing through. They desperately want him to be the law and order candidate, “weathering the storm from the militant left”, but he just can’t help but attack the left and encourage further violence. He will sabotage his own campaign and image if he starts encouraging violence here.

He’s implying that he thinks that someone should, but even the literal point he’s making is not true.

I mean even before the war ends, 19% interest is not stable. Capital investment has fallen to a third of what it once was. (ignoring forced investments needed to workaround sanctions) The Russians will also run out of old Soviet stockpile weapons which will be a major hit to their GDP as Russia starts to go into recession.

This is worse than you think. Most countries don’t criminalize use, only possession. Criminalizing use like Sweden does likely means that even having cannabis in your system is illegal and could lead to fines, criminal record, and jail time. It’s insanely backwards.
