Russian opposition leader Alexei Navalny had been expected to be transferred to a "special regime" colony, the harshest in Russia's prison system after he was sentenced to an additional 19 years last year.
Sometimes I wonder what’s the point of being the good guy against power crazy lunatics like Putin.
If there was any justice in this world society wouldn’t stand for things like this. Too many people that are complicit and complacent. Makes me feel dejected.
Im always reminded of the question: Are humans born good or evil?
We’re obviously born evil or laws wouldn’t exist. You shouldn’t need a law saying not to kill or rob someone. You shouldn’t need physical consequences for crimes.
But because humans aren’t inherently good, you do.
Dudes still a nationalist. To make an analogy to US politics, he’s the Liz Cheney to Putin’s Donald Trump. His anti-corruption cause is laudable, and it’s hard to imagine he wouldn’t be a huge step up from Putin, but genuinely good is debatable

Most people aren’t born evil or less developed societies without a sophisticated criminal justice system would collapse.
No one ever “chooses” to be the good guy.
To mis-use the meme: “In Soviet Russia, good chooses you!”
I listened to a podcast interview with his daughter, and he seems like a genuinely good person. At least in her opinion.

Thanks. I appreciate the perspective. =)
I’d imagine the idea of being the “good guy” is to represent what to populus wants.
What’s the point of taking down Putin for another Putin?
