I don’t read r/conservative much but what I’ve seen is they keep banning actual conservatives because they correctly call out what Trump is doing on things where it’s not about left and right but right and wrong.

Some people are saying that it could be coincidental. OP asks why would the two accounts who post so regularly just happen to both stop at the same time on that day.

    Well that’s a shitty attitude. The average Russian has as much power as … yeah … pretty much nothing. Like all of us who aren’t ultra rich in every country in the world. Doesn’t mean we shouldn’t try, but that’s a different matter.

      People with no power tore the USSR apart, toppled monarchies across Europe, ended the company stores and brought civil rights in the USA.

      The only real reason is that they don’t actually mind all that much or they think it can be fixed somehow.

      For every victim in Russia there are two or three perpetrators.

        The USSR was torn apart by Yeltsin and co, with US backing. Putin was America’s guy because he had the best shot against the communists simply winning reelection.

          The people that formed the USSR toppled a Russian monarchy with very little power and turned it into an empire. I’m not giving the great grandkids a hall pass
