she comes across as fearless and heroic, and how rare are those qualities, certainly i don't come across them in young people these days. i come across fearless, but fearless and heroic is a different story.
i don't claim to know all the story of pussy riot, i first read about them about a year ago before they even had any street credibility, but the latest saga appears complex because the russian society is going through the same change that most other societies went through much earlier only the russian culture is now dealing with a self appointed dictator who is not afraid to use intimidation against his opponents.
i think i like a rebellious streak in people, but i like it when its articulate and stands the scrutiny of my reduction, the argument can't have a weakness, it must follow a process that has a paralleled counterpoint under which the frame of the argument is heard, all things being connected.
the old people of russia are probably bewildered by these un-lady like women, young mums no less who go around making a racket in a church, acting like hooligans. where's the respect? but the older people in all societies are at war with the youth, i see it here, there and everywhere, it's that point that comes when a movement is born, the one that change rides to town on, pussy riot want change, they used the church as a means to gain attention and probably did not expect to be jailed for it, but putin, he's the fool, he's the one in fear of pussy riot, and now everyone knows it. like all dictators, putin fears the pussy. all that macho calendar bullshit, all the uniforms and guns, a mask for an insecure ruthless dictator. i don't know much about pussy riot, what songs they sing or how they are as people but they don't deserve to be locked up in jail for their passion and causes after all they didn't harm anyone, just putins fragile ego.
