    That doesn’t make any sense, but okay.

      Martyrdom. Navalny knew what it would mean to return; he also knew the risk of not returning (constantly trying to avoid shitty assassination attempts with collateral damage).

        I mean, you don’t have to be convicted to be a martyr.

        Look at Snowden.

          Speaking of… When was the last time we heard from Snowden? Haven’t seen his name in the media since basically the start of the Russian invasion of Ukraine.

              LMAO. Yeah, that’s why he ran to hide under Putin’s skirt; because he didn’t want to be used as a pawn in Russian propaganda.

            He usually ends up in the news for shilling Signal.

          I don’t know whether it had a significant impact in Russia, but the rest of the world only knows/cares about the guy because he went back. Otherwise he’d just be yet another person murdered by Putin’s regime.

        I guess you’re right.

        Maybe he did have a greater impact getting poisoned, imprisoned, and ‘defenestrated’ than he would have had outside of Russia.

        Time will tell, I won’t hold my breath.

        Personally, I think you’re just finding ways to agree with the crowd even if they’re wrong. I don’t hold most people above that behavior.
