    And that is how I interpreted it.

    Okay let me try it differently. Imagine a perfect clone of Navalny gained full power in your country. You know he is a right wing shithead and will inevitably do what you expect and afraid him to do. Can you list a few things that he will do?

      Why?

      What does that impossible thought experiment achieve?

      I could just tell people to have nuance and not fall prey to idolising a right wing bigot who is less shit than the right wing bigot that imprisoned him?

      Again this message is to those outside of Russia, some random thought experiment that goes nowhere but to continue this conversation and give you the ego to go “well ackshually” means shit all in the scheme of things.

        It goes a long way that you are avoiding.

        You basically refuse to explain what could happen that would constitute for “bad” or “unwanted” if Navalny is supported.

        You refuse to explain what exactly do you mean by right wing (exact bad stuff about it) and instead rely on your readers’ own interpretation to convince them that person should not be supported.

        By providing exact example you could be more specific. And I could find some stream piece with Navalny’s point of view on something exact to show you that he would not actually do what you think he would do.

        If you still want to avoid exact examples and only rely on those old clips about immigrants then you have no chance of proving me wrong. In his presidential program there was a proposition to require visa from them, and this can’t be viewed as bad. Else you’d have to tell me countries like US/EU are controlled by right wing shitheads already. It’s like telling your readers “hey don’t forget, this guy seems to be at least as bad as your own government, don’t support him”.
