@theminism tbf speakers 1 and 2 seem like pretty reasonable people… i can’t really translate much of what the benighted motherfuckers involved are saying since they’re farther away (and swearing is hard to translate) but here goes nothing lmao just for you
speaker 1: What, they can’t drive out of each other’s way?
speaker 2: It looks like they can’t drive out of each other’s way. There’s not enough space. And they’re fighting.
speaker 1: They should have just pulled off and let the excavator go first.
speaker 2 [interrupting]: Of course.
speaker 1: What the heck are they doing over there
speaker 2: What the heck
speaker 1: Woah woah what the heck okay wow

Shut down by US tech companies, the internet’s biggest neo-Nazi website has been denied sanctuary by Russia, too.
Daily Stormer had on Wednesday attempted to rebrand itself as dailystormer.ru after several American web hosting services, including GoDaddy.com and CloudFlare, pulled their support. The site had acted as a hub for a white supremacists and neo-Nazis who rallied last weekend in Charlottesville, Virginia, where a driver killed anti-racist protester Heather Heyer. After her death, the Daily Stormer site began posting offensive content about Heyer, prompting widespread outrage.
But while individual American companies made the decision to refuse to host Daily Stormer, in Russia, where government censorship is far more restrictive, it was a legal matter. Russian law specifically prohibits, among other things, online content that glorifies Naziism.
Alexander Zharov, the head of Russia’s Roskomnadzor, the country’s federal communications regulator, wrote in a statement that it was within his agency’s authority to instruct Russian domain registrars to refuse to host the site.
“The Daily Stormer website promotes neo-Nazi ideology, raises racial, national and other types of social discord,” Zharov wrote. “Russian legislation has an extremely tough regime to counter any manifestations of extremism on the Internet.”
It’s not clear how quickly the Russian state made its decision, but the site was already inaccessible by early afternoon Wednesday, when attempts to reach it were met with a “DNS address not found.”
It’s unclear where the Daily Stormer will try to land next. The site is down, and its Twitter account, which normally would be used to point followers to its next iteration, has been suspended for violating Twitter’s terms of service.
EVEN RUSSIA HAS A BETTER GRASP ON THIS THAN TRUMP DOES.
Worth noting that website is one of the oldest neo-Nazi sites around. It’s taken this long for them to get the boot.
I have mixed feelings about this—giving aid and comfort to Nazis is bad, but state-compelled suppression of speech is almost always bad too—
however
—at least Russia remembers that they fought a bloody and ruinous war against Nazis.
#anti nazis#reblog with cheese#unpopular opinions#probably#look nazis are unquestionably gross and vile#if you have any sense at all#but i would rather that people freely decide not to do business with them?#and consider that this is not necessarily the blind squirrel finding a nut once in a while#or even principles in action#but a case of ulterior motives of various sorts#russia#anti russia#kind of#anti their government#:P

Why do older Republicans have no problem with Russia? I seriously do not understand their lack of concern.
Honestly this is the part that blows my mind the most. My childhood and early teens were full of shrill right-wingers insisting Russians were the enemy and media with Russian bad guys (or occasionally Russians defecting and struggling to adapt to the “free world”) and the Republican Party becoming Putin’s lapdogs is surreal on a grand scale.

Marai the cat is now a member of staff at the Serpukhov Museum of History and Art, Moscow Region, Russia. By popular demand, an application for a permanent post was submitted on his behalf to the museum’s managers. Marai negotiated a purrfect package of remuneration: he will receive fish and meat patties in lieu of a salary. Photo taken April 7th 2016. Credit: Getty Images/Vyacheslav Prokofyev
