A DULL-eyed soldier at a roadblock stopped our car and demanded papers. This is not unusual in Ukraine. Almost four years after Russia’s invasion, checkpoints are a fact of life, like bomb shelters…
There’s nothing supposed about that. The West’s response to the war immediately devolved into this insane, open season on anything and everything Russian. We’re talking about regular people getting banned from sports and arts, calls for collective punishment, and just a flood of the most vile, racist garbage directed at Russians as an ethnic group. It went from “we hate Putin’s regime” to “we hate you people” in about five seconds flat. And that was a gift from heaven for the Kremlin. They’ve been saying for years that the West secretly despises all Russians and wants to see Russia broken up and erased as a culture. This completely nuked the domestic pro Western opposition.
A huge chunk of the population, including many who didn’t even like Putin, circled the wagons as a result. When you’re being told by the entire “international community” that you’re subhuman orc because of your leader’s actions, you tend to rally around the flag as a form of self defense. The West’s blatant chauvinism and racism ended up solidifying Putin’s power in a way he could never have managed on his own.
Again, this is something that would be obvious to anybody who has a couple of brain cells to bang together. But here you are!
Especially love how you immediately devolve into homophobia since you can’t actually make any coherent argument. Thank you for finally exposing yourself as the vile piece of human garbage that you really are.
My view is that Ukrainians and Russians should be able to live in peace in their respective countries. So that would mean that Ukraine should not be invaded, Russia should not be invaded, and no other country should be invaded.
But unfortunately Putin and his colleagues decided to invade Ukraine and murder people there. I definitely don’t blame average Russians for that. Not in any way. Many Russians clearly don’t support Putin, but if they are brave enough to voice this view, they can be put in prison for many years, or in fact the Russian state may poison them.
You can pretend to be moral all you like, but if you support Russia’s murderous invasion of Ukraine (which seems to be true), then you are immoral.
I love how you just keep regurgitating your propaganda points. Once again, why did the people of Donbas rise up against the regime. Answer this simple question fascist. They were fighting against the regime for over 8 years before Russia interfered. Western media has openly reported on the human rights abuses against Russian speaking population.
The fact that you refuse to engage with the facts of the situation shows that you lack even a shred of intellectual integrity. You are a fascist and I have nothing else to say to you. Scum like you just wants to see other people die for their entertainment.
People who are pro-Russia have alleged “human rights abuses” supposedly committed by Ukraine towards Russians or Russian-speaking people in Ukraine. Something I find interesting though is that the ICJ, the UN’s court, said this:
Maybe Russia should prove their allegations. I don’t think you’re interested in the truth though. I think you’re interested in a fascist conquest of Ukraine’s land.
The truth is that all you know is how to do is regurgitate the Russia bad talking points you’ve memorized. Meanwhile, you’re utterly unable to engage with the fact that Ukraine has been in a civil war for the past 8 years.
I think you’re interested in a fascist conquest of Ukraine’s land.
the fascist regime in Ukraine that you actively support is not even trying to hide being fascist. You are the most imbecilic troll I’ve seen on here, and that says a lot.
Honestly i think you may be arguing with an AI bot here. They’ve just been repeating the same script over and over and not engaging with anything you said and showed them.
You don’t have any argument other than “Ukraine bad”. You can point out some far-right members of Ukraine’s military, and sure, such people might exist, but I expect there are some far-right people within the militaries of most countries.
In Russia you have a character like Aleksandr Dugin strongly supporting Russia’s invasion of Ukraine. Dugin has been described by WaPo and the WSJ as “far-right”. People like him are driving the invasion of Ukraine.
You support a far-right invasion of another country but maybe you are too stupid to even understand what you’re supporting.

I feel like a bot could do a better job holding an actual conversation.
Lol, so you’re saying that AIs can pass the Turing test just by virtue of humans being so bad at behaving like actual humans.
as the quote goes, the only two things that are infinite are the universe and human stupidity and I’m not sure about the former

You’re a literal fascist supporting open fascism but you’ve made it abundantly clear that you are too stupid to understand what you’re supporting.
Doesn’t surprise me that Lemmy.ml lacks common sense.
weird way to spell lemmy isn’t full of fascist scum
