German satirical artist Jacques Tilly has been sued in Russia by Vladimir Putin for defaming the Russian state by making carnival sculptures in Germany — outside Putin's dystopian jurisdiction — so it would be a real shame, if that made us share his artworks and embarrass Putin even further.

@randahl I'd be worried about being mysteriously kidnapped by some random russian, were I that artist. It's happened before :/

@CryogenicIce9 @randahl

i think if we live in a western democracy and we are worried about making putin cry, then we might as well just give up and join the new super ultra mega soviet union or whatever that imperialist ethnofascist mass murdering shitbag putin is planning

who gives a fuck about russia's threats

that includes it's empty nuclear threats

if we whimper and cry and give into every scowl from the kremlin then we deserve to cease to exist

but we don't, so we won't

fuck cowardice

@benroyce @CryogenicIce9 @randahl if Pussy Riot can make him cry in his borders, so can we on the outside 🩷
Show threadWesDymFeb 27
@CryogenicIce9 I would, too, but you generally have to be a much more serious threat to the regime to face that threat. It's actually very costly and risky for them to do that, so it's a measure reserved only for the most serious threats -- turncoat spies, that kind of thing. An irritating artist probably doesn't rate. Also, Ptn is unwise, but he's not stupid. He knows that DIRECTLY attacking artists will only result in more artists attacking him, far more than he can go after.

@randahl spot on IMHO, we should have post cards that we can send over the the nazi regime in kremlin.

@randahl Putin's lawsuit has the same energy as the UK/ofcom Vs 4chan lawsuit.
Show threadCharlie StrossFeb 27
@kneoghau @randahl The ofcom lawsuit at least has the merit that 4chan has users in the UK, and they need to be found in breach of a court order before ofcom can request a ban. (Whereas Putin can ban any foreign internet service he feels like, by decree.)

@randahl I don't suppose Herr Tilly is planning on visiting Russia anytime soon though so I imagine he can rest easy.
Show threadSpeed demon 🇪🇺 🇳🇴🇺🇦🇵🇸Feb 27
@capnthommo I suppose Putin still has some novichok on hand, so he could offer Tilly some tea or a gift of perfume. But, I believe a foreign (to Russia) actor falls outside the group that Putin's twisted logic says "owe him loyalty". That would be anybody born in Russia, or who has received Russian money at any point. @randahl
Show threadRandahl FinkFeb 28

@capnthommo Putin has already killed people in the EU, he wanted to get rid of.

In one case, he killed a defected Russian helicopter pilot who had fled to Spain. Authorities found him gunned down in a parking garage.
