For me it was Cheater Bennington. Linkin Park music helped me through some hard times and I know some of the more impactful lyrics came from him and what he experienced.
Knowing he couldn’t take it anymore definitely hit Me hard particularly as someone I looked up to from young age …
Who was yours ?
You’re grossly minimizing his racist, fascist ultra-nationalist tendencies.
Just because the POS happened to be anti-Kremlin doesn’t make him OK.
He was conspiring with MI6 on video, and he had another MI6 person with him on the plane to Germany.
There’s plenty more showing he is in fact a western puppet.
He wouldn’t be promoted and made a big deal here otherwise. Now that was myth making.
Also the reason why people, and you, wrongfully think he is “the most visible anti-Putin opposition figure in Russia”.
I gave you facts about his insignificance in elections and the general view of the population on him.
I think you’re doing a lot of projection here with your “reflexive pro-Russia filtering”.
The western audience likes him because he is anti-Putin (like myself BTW) so he must be automatically good and the rest is simply Russian disinfo.
The facts are there that he was a racist extreme-right POS. To ignore that is called delusion in psychology.
In what way could this awful person be a stepping stone to something better?
But of course the west, being the fascist USSA and near fascist EU would never support a left-wing or truly democratic opposition would they?
They never have.
They have a documented history of supporting the most brutal fascists that overthrow the same left-wing or democratic countries and put in their puppets.
As we speak they are glazing the son of a torturing shah they put in place earlier in Iran or the headchopper Al Qaida terrorist who they put in a suit and changed his name.
Now he’s a respectable puppet that gets welcomed with the red carpet treatment.
Machado, the extreme-right ghoul from Venezuela and Aung San Suu Kyi, another brural mass-murderer get the nobel prize from our ‘rules based order’ and free democratic west’.
Maybe you should see a pattern here and learn to see through the BS you’re parroting.
Despite all the propaganda and censorship in the west shoved down my throat, I have learned, simply from facts, we’re not the good guys.
You can call me pro-kremlin for that whatever you want, IDC.
