Oh Putin, you card!Starmaker wrote:supposedly 75% 140% popular approval.
That said, my contact with a Russian on IRC is... let's just say it's either the cause or the result of the kind of government Russia has. Such fascinating insight from him!
[*]Putin has never rigged elections, he's always been so popular he hasn't had to
[*]It's Russia, people randomly get murdered by gangs and such all the time! What makes you think those reporters specifically got killed for being anti-Putin or asking the wrong questions, and didn't just wander into gang territory?
[*]It doesn't matter what people do in their own homes (he included fucking dogs in this category, as in specifically mentioned it), but don't go around doing that stuff (he specifically included "being gay") in public, it's disgusting
(Note: apparently someone else found a back door into his computer and discovered he had ~500Gb of horse porn. WELL THAT EXPLAINS THAT ONE. Also I use the word "had" because they replaced it with lolcats.)
[*]Chechnya is a total shithole and has always been, it's all because of those crazy muslims who live there, Russia just tries to settle them down every now and then, that's all!
So unless that guy is simply saying that stuff because he knows what's good for him and doesn't want to fall off a building, it looks like Russia has the same kind of crazy people that America has. Joy.
