Only 24

He was about to do things that were thought to be not humanly possible.
His splits in Chicago were mind-bending.

It's an incredible loss.

Some strong hints in the papers that this was suicide

 

[therealjohnny]

ah dear

 

[Deadmanposting]

ah dear

Sometime late last year, he got taken off weekdays and dumped onto Saturdays or Sundays
Didn't love it

Language in the papers is how he was found by an ambulance crew, and death is not suspicious.
Saying it without saying it.

Alexei Navalny
Gutsiest motherfucker to come along in a long time

Dead for basically doing what we do on here or what people do on the Claire Byrne show

Having an opinion

Joins a long list of politicians and journalists or anyone brave enough to speak up

RIP

 

[magicbastarder]

was he 'actively' killed or passively killed, i wonder? i.e. was he just in such bad shape after years of mistreatment that it was inevitable?

He was seen just yesterday on a video link in court, looking healthy and cheery.

Jesus, this reads like a joke.

Jesus, this reads like a joke.

Yeah
The video of him laughing and joking yesterday with the judge and guards is a little heartbreaking
Dude looked fine

Whatever punishment they threw at him, he could not just bear, but do it with a smile
So they killed him

I'd say if there's anything these guys can claim to do well, it's torturing people to death. They've been grinding his body down for years. Eventually they killed him.


It's hard not to just blame all Russian people for being complicit. Especially seeing as the west is complicit in giving Israel a free pass for genocide.

But still.

I have a probably false memory of E+S=B and Damo S playing lazybird in the international some time in 2003/4 or so.

In real time we also have an example that putin will send thousands of people who do agree with him to die in Ukraine. I suppose you don't get that job by hosting support groups and hot pots.

avdiivka is falling, congress is refusing more money and weapons, putin is cruising to re-election, the middle east is on fire, biden is slowly becoming more senile. what a mess.

it would be great for the war-hawks if there was some kind of distraction, especially one that allows people to do some noble-heroic grandstanding.

allow yourselves a heretical thought: who benefits from navalny dying? particularly now? is it possible that this man was murdered, but not by russia? yes, yes, tin-foil-hat stuff. just think about it materially for a minute. it’s not like they’re above it.
