I said that because Navalny is a fascist scumbag and a white supremacist. If that's the sort of people you support then you really need to check your morals.
Um... I doubt a pos would essentially give his life to speak out against the dictator.
Don't know enough but he doesn't seem like the kind of prick that would invade Ukraine
Even the Ukrainians have been cheering his death. He wasn't pro-Ukraine, and they weren't pro-him.
Isn't anyone better than Putin?
Maybe I'm just too use to a free country
The headspace of "anyone is better than Putin" also means that people that are worse are praised. Someone that openly calls Muslims "cockroaches" and extreme nationalism isn't exactly "better" than Putin's similar stances on the LGBTQIA+ communities. So it is very possible for Navalny to be worse if given the powers Putin currently has. The real point is that it isn't a good thing to blindly praise/support everyone that openly attacks Putin as some "hero of freedom" or something like that.
maybe learn a bit about the subject you're opining on
