Welcome to /c/tumblr, a place for all your tumblr screenshots and news.

Our Rules:

  1. Keep it civil. We're all people here. Be respectful to one another.

  2. No sexism, racism, homophobia, transphobia or any other flavor of bigotry. I should not need to explain this one.

  3. Must be tumblr related. This one is kind of a given.

  4. Try not to repost anything posted within the past month. Beyond that, go for it. Not everyone is on every site all the time.

  5. No unnecessary negativity. Just because you don't like a thing doesn't mean that you need to spend the entire comment section complaining about said thing. Just downvote and move on.

That's a very good way of putting it. Reminds me of the developments in Russia.

You mean how Putin killed Navalny? Yes.

Yes, but not only that. His murder is emblematic of a general culture of taking away the rights of people who do not fall in line with the regime.

Russia’s got a history of stripping the rights from soldiers returning from battle, because having been in a foreign land meant they were now infected with capitalism and had to be imprisoned so as not to spread it.

Well, and take a look what the Russian government is doing to the people in Russia who have the audacity to want to mourn Navalnyjs death.
