Is Russia truly the most based country for arresting people that don't remember their place? Trump truly has the best allies.
You're fucking proles, who live and die at the whim of your oligarchs. Don't fucking step out of line.
>Russian authorities have registered 762 “extremist crimes” so far this year, many of them consisting of social media posts. In some cases, the authorities make little effort to conceal that they are using the country’s broad and vague anti-extremism legislation to silence free expression.
>One case is that of Daniil Markin, a 19-year-old film student from Barnaul, the main city in Russia’s Altai region. He is standing trial for saving several memes mocking Christianity in an album on the social media platform VKontake (VK).
>They made Markin go through almost 1500 saved pictures and make screenshots of ten memes lampooning Christianity, including an image of the Game of Thrones actor Jon Snow portrayed as Jesus Christ with a caption “Jon Snow is risen! Truly he is risen!" (a parody of the Christian Orthodox Easter refrain), and another showing a stick figure with a halo with a line crossed through it and the caption “There Is No God”. Urged by the investigator, Markin signed a confession to saving the memes.
>This July, after nearly a year, the case against him – on charges of “inciting hatred against a religious group” – moved to trial. “I confessed to having saved those [memes], but I didn’t mean to offend anyone,” Markin, who is facing up to five years in prison, told me. A judgement is expected this autumn. Meanwhile, authorities in Altai region have been busy building similar cases against at least three other “online offenders.”
i unironically support this our pro-censorship society thinks it is getting Lenin, but will always end up with Stalin, and it deserves it i want happy bugmen not to die, but to suffer
>trial for saving several memes mocking Christianity in an album on the social media platform VKontake Preaching to the choir.. >Do the same thing in the west with Pisslam. Kek. Fascism is the way. That faggot is clearly a bad influence. I don't care. Free speech is a meme, that same faggot there wouldn't stand for my free speech, in fact, not for free speech at all. For the right to spread specifically "his" ideals; that is what he stands for.
Pretty sure Russians know they are getting Stalin with Putin.
Ryder Phillips
>say you have faith in Christianity >jail anyone making memes mocking Christianity How weak is the faith of the Russian people? As an Orthodox Christian, Russia's actions are insulting and blasphemous. This is some Sharia Law level crap. No to mention Soviet level big brother bullshit
I like how you can pretend to know exactly who the teenager getting arrested is; and this caricature you've created somehow justifies his very real arrest.
The framework Lenin set up was part of what allowed Stalin to do what he did. At least that's what Solzhenitsyn said.
Kayden Rivera
Good.
Luis Cruz
It is very weak. Russian church is in bad in gevernment, support all state decisions, do business and don't pay taxes. Priests drives expensive cars. Worst part is that "belivers" are like SJW in the West - if you say something critically or make a joke they will start crying about how you hurt thier feelings and will go to court (and will win).
Thomas Thomas
I just wanna hear the pic related imbecile faggot kvetch about this.
Point is the guy is an authoritarian fuck who cares more about his own power then the wellbeing of the Russian people. Whereas Lenin believed in what he was doing was for the good of Russia and improved the livelihoods of Russians as a whole.

>Be film student faggot >Do faggot things >Go to jail
>>since soviet time State of amercan education... Orthodox church was a puppet of a state since the beginning. It never was really independent agent and always supported Grand Princes and Tzars. "All power us from God". When communist won they immediately stoped any resistance and started to work with new government. When USSR collapsed church become very liberal and democratic. When Putin came - again switch. Now "patriotic" and very corrupt. Patriarch openly said that "Russian Christian should never protest and go to opposition rally".

>Trump truly has the best allies. >trump administration puts more sanctions on russia than Obama >Trump arms ukranians to fight russians, a move obama never took >Trump made an energy deal with Poland to make them use US energy instead of Russian energy >Trump trying to pressure Germany to use US energy not Russian energy in a move that would cripple the russian economy
But Trump is best allies with Russia amirite?
Jaxon Thomas
>arresting people that don't remember their place? You mean totalitarianism? Yeah, they've great at that.
Matthew Williams
>He is standing trial for saving several memes mocking Christianity
Strawmen all over this thread. Russia is going full Christian Saudi Arabia, complete with poverty for the masses.
Europe is an unironic free speech shithole, too.
Jaxon Parker
You need to update your history knowledge. Bolsheviks won the civil war.
Brandon Powell
Do you actually believe this? Trump has been fighting tooth and nail to get the sanctions on Russia's oligarchs removed. Not to mention the whole debacle of Helsinki, and Trump jumping on Putin's cock despite everyone else trying to pull him off it.
You have to be a paid shill.
Jordan Murphy
>Trump trying to pressure Germany to use US energy not Russian energy in a move that would cripple the russian economy
interesting? tell me moar?
Camden Sanders
But failed to establish communism didn't they? So what's the next step?
Juan Thompson
>mocking Christianity let him rot subversive kike puppet
Eli Collins
Next step of what?
Samuel Powell
Dunno. Go to leftypol and find out
Noah Wright
Good on the government for detaining that anti-Christian degenerate. Its not just sharing memes, he was actively spreading his foolishness. Hopefully he abandons his old ways and finds Christ as his lord and savior.
Brandon Perez
i have no sympathy for atheists bravo putin
Eli Price
Tell me what action Trump has taken to try to remove sanctions? Explain to me how stealing all the buyers of russian energy is a plan to help Russia when their entire economy is utterly dependent on energy sales.
Look at western SJW. Now imagine instead of racism he talk about his religious feeling been constantly hurt and that everyone should be obedient to the state. This is Russian priest. He talks like he have moral supirioty thought he constantly lies, greedy and corrupt. He is the enemy of free Russian citizens.
Aiden Bennett
Oh yeah. True. I didn't want to dig further back. Though a certain Orthodox priest got the ear of the Czarina and the tail wagged the dog a bit. We saw how that ended up.
Can you guys organize against it at all? How much of a stranglehold does Putin have over you guys?
Don't be a dumbshit, communism is just as much a fallible economic model as capitalism; in theory they are both perfect, but in practice they are prone to rife corruption.
Camden Thomas
Putin is great tactic but shitty strategist. He was noone but was able to make himself a popular leader in 2000 when economy started to grow (due to the oil prices) and by seizes control over mass media. Majority does support him. But now he is starting to lose supporters since we corrupted state and fucked up economy (it is stable but is stagnating). As it is said we have "war between TV and fridge". TV propaganda is strong but more and more people starting to realize that fridge is getting more and more empty.
Hunter Cooper
That is the state controlled church, you need Jesus Christ himself. While I identify as a baptist, God is not bound by denominations as long as you don't hold any heretical beliefs.
It is for individual to find God for himself. State should never intervine. Including "protecting" feelings of Christians or Muslims or Atheists.
Samuel King
Excorcism...
Camden Cook
Unironically exorcism.
Jose Clark
If stalin was alive today he would had nuked japan 3 more times for this shit
Michael Stewart
>He is standing trial for saving several memes mocking Christianity in an album on the social media platform VKontake (VK). Maybe he should have kept his opinions to himself and off the internet. VK is a private company...Actually I don't know if that's the case. Don't give a fuck. #rekt
Noah Hall
>baptist The niggers of christianity.
Carter Johnson
It was private. Then Putin's friend (usmanov) was able to seize the control of the company. Durov (the founder) had fled the country
>Orthodox church was a puppet of a state since the beginning. It never was really independent agent and always supported Grand Princes and Tzars But this definitely became tightened during Peter the Great, which is why in 1917 you had the Patriarchate reinstated and it was initiated by the Orthodox priests themselves
Adam Rogers
>(((film student))) Same kind of people that tried to set tanks with people inside them on fire 50 years ago. I'm pretty sure he posted those memes somewhere where those christian wahabis we call the "Orthodox faith" didn't appreciate it
