I don’t think even you are dumb enough to believe what you just posted.

So I have a question for you, krappo.

It's obvious you're completely unfazed by the supposedly democratic US and British governments lying to, and propagandizing, their citizens - AS IF THEY WERE TOTALITARIAN STATES THAT HAD TO HIDE THE FACTS.

Why are you so comfortable with that?



And why have you ducked this question nine times?

It's obvious this is the question I'm asking you to respond to.



Hurray! We got there. So you're talking about Iraq. I mocked you for this in the other thread. But the mockery has a logic behind it:

1. You are arguing that our governments lie to us constantly, but Iraq is only a single instance of government lying. Where is the other evidence? Where is the recent evidence? The fact that you have to go back 15 years for an example of something government does 'constantly'... do you not see how that makes your case incredibly weak?
2. You are equating lying with propaganda. A democratic government lying is comparable to a totalitarian state propagandising? Wow. Your thinking is either incredibly lazy, or ignorant about how totalitarian states work. I'm guessing the former, since I already explained the difference: a democratic government does not control the media.

There's the answer to your question kiki. I gave it all to you before in mockery form, but now I've spelled it out for you as well. You're welcome.

I believe because of the title of this thread, ( The State of Freedom In Russia ), that I remind the readers there is no such thing as freedom for those living in Russia.

That said, it is their own faults. They seem to enjoy living under the thumbs of a few, a dictatorship.

A dictatorship is a type of authoritarianism, in which politicians regulate nearly every aspect of the public and private behavior

Goodbye Russia: A generation packs its bags

But success came at a cost. Chirikova was arrested several times and other activists and journalists were set upon by unknown assailants. When Khimki newspaper editor Mikhail Beketov raised suspicions that local officials were profiting from the motorway project, his dog was killed, his car was set on fire and finally he was attacked so brutally that he suffered brain damage and never regained the power of speech.

Chirikova remembers going to visit him in intensive care. He had lost several fingers, had a leg amputated and part of his skull was missing after a beating with an iron bar.

"My legs were shaking so badly that I just sat on the hospital floor," she says. "For the first time, I was really afraid. Anyone who could do such a thing to another person has no moral principles and I understood that a bandit regime had seized power in my country."
