Very good point. Concerns of the ethnic Asian/Muslim population are:

a) dismissed by the Russian "liberals"
b) ignored by the Western media

The reasons for (a) are too obvious. (b) happens because the targeted demographics have nearly zero representation in the Anglophone space

Since the targeted demographics have almost zero public platform, the Western media are sincerely unaware that their perspectives do even exist. This is a major factor behind the outrageous perspective laundering we are witnessing today

Accusing any critics of being "Putinist" is largely a preparation for their next move - which is shift the blame for Putinism on *minorities*, once they take power

(They're already doing this btw. Will give details in next thread)

The current illusion of "consensus" around @navalny succession is based on:

1) Asian/Muslim population having nearly zero representation in the Western media

2) The Western media choosing to ignore an uncomfortable phenomenon: criticism of the regime *from the far right* stance

3) Most commenters ignoring an obvious truth: Putin will not be overthrown by any sort of popular rebellion. @navalny'sts can't overthrow Putin, nor can they contribute to his overthrowal. They can only capitalise on the Russian military defeat & fall of regime, once it happens

4) The debate on @navalny's succession is not a debate on how to defeat Putin. These guys can't and won't. It's a debate on how should Russia look and be run, once the regime suffers a military defeat. Therefore, comparing their (potential) rule with Putin's is illogical ...

... The prospect of the (potential) @navalny's reign should be compared not with the Putin's reign, but with all the other alternatives

The end
