And yes I know a defensive war is the big asterisk on human rights, but neither you nor me are currently in the Ukraine so no need for us to dehumanize Russians.
One can hate the Russian invation without chanting “DEATH TO ALL RUSSIANS!!!” proving Putins faschists claims …

There is a difference between wishing death to all Russians and wishing death to all Russian invaders. One can and should help every Russian invader be killed or captured. They individually choose, every single day, to help kill Ukrainians defending their homes. Every Russian invader killed means less Ukrainians die.
They can choose to walk west with a white flag above their head. They can choose to fight those who put them in Ukraine. Instead they choose, every single day, to help kill Ukrainians defending their homes.
Even the worst human is still a human. You can’t blame a person for lamenting the loss of a human life without losing your own humanity, in my opinion. Empathy saves lives.
Don’t be so naive. “Empathy saves lives”? You’d say that out loud to one of the innumerable Russian “soldiers” responsible for those vile crimes as they tried to do the same to you? That’s what you’d tell your rapist/murderer in that moment of sheer panic and terror? Are you fucking serious?
Oh. No? Hunh. Seems pretty easy to have such a rosy perspective when it’s so distant from your own safe little life. Go figure.
This is pushing it. Sympathy for russian combatants will not be tolerated here, but, calling for the mass annihilation of russians is on the opposite end of the spectrum. Be happy Ukranians are just a little bit safer today. But cheer? No. Too much.

Donate to Ukraine and help them remove the invaders.
You genuinely believe every single Russian soldier is there out of their own free will?

No, we must help Ukraine remove the invaders.

My safe life? I’m a war veteran.
No, you can’t rape, torture, and murder without losing your own humanity. Humanizing monsters hurts the victims.
