Idk what you’re saying about the “Lemmy version” given that you’re entirely free to do so - in fact, you just did do so

And, likewise, the UN stating that serious human rights violations occurred is not the same as them all saying they aren’t committing genocide

Covid bereaved - people who lost loved ones to COVID

angered by - the previous noun is angry because of the following part of the sentence

Badenoch’s - a person, possessive

‘insulting’ - you know this one

Partygate remarks - comments she made about Boris Johnson’s government’s behaviour during lockdown, the scandal known informally as “partygate”

Day 1, babyyyyy

Is this excluding the bit where they made criticising their war in Ukraine punishable by up to 15 years in prison?

Parents of kids with peanut allergies freaking out rn

shoot them

“they should have killed all the Israelis, and simultaneously are bastards for using exclusively tear gas against people actively throwing petrol bombs at them, and trying to burn down the building with them inside”

Absolutely wild accusations to throw out with no sources

You can’t possibly think that a monitoring mission for the UN is armed with chemical weapons lmfao

That’s not how UN peacekeepers work

So there’s a few things to note; firstly, that this article isn’t a eulogy, but about the smuggling and content of his diaries. Regardless of his political positions, those diaries are a fascinating artifact in their own right, especially his perspectives on Russian politics, and the experience of a political prisoner in the Russian prison system.

Also worth consideration is that his views/rhetoric shifted massively over the years, and he became far more liberal as he aged. People who manage to shift away from the far right are a valuable resource in understanding the thought process of other people who think like that.
