Yeah right 🙄
- In one of the videos, in which he advocates for gun rights, he compares militants from the Caucasus to cockroaches and mimics shooting one who attempts to "attack" him.
  you don't need to believe me but i hope you look into it.
  
  And killing journalist in the middle of Moscow is ok? Or another journalist and human rights activist? Or killed later Boris Nemtsov? To be fair Kadirov killed even his own bodyguard. Also mentioned gun laws are copy of ukrainian gun laws. Speaking of ukrainians: apparently in 2022 he grown tired of killing only russians and chechens, so he kills ukrainians since then too.
  Speaking of cockroaches and other animals: is it now how western media calls russians now? And by extent call chechens too. So russians can't talk about domestic problems, but foreign media can talk about russians' problems?
  I already can see your mental gymnastics coming.

  you're not going to catch me saying putin does good things. i don't know if he's ever done a single good thing.
  
  I'm talking about Kadirov
  
  ... what makes you think i had anything to say about him at all?
  
  Because he is one of mentioned Caucasus militants
  
  I don't call people vermin. I think the dehumanization is a pretty clear line that we shouldn't cross. I suppose I could make an exception for fascists, as I think turnabout is fair play. in this case, a nationalist calling the leader of a militant ethnic group vermin, I think that's pretty fucking gross.

  i haven't heard that, but i'd condemn it if i did.
