Many on the Latte Left facilitated this new era of fascist censorship. Remember when people didn’t care that folks who were accurately assessing the situation between Ukraine and Russia were targeted and silenced?

    You seem to think Russians are conquest hungry orcs that lack rational thought and hunger only for blood - it’s a very common racist trope used to smear Asian people. The reality is complicated and you’re simplifying it to justify endless war.

    And you must be happy, because you refuse to do anything to actually end the war. Ukraine is only being given aid to keep Russia busy, there is no expectation they can ever win. The goal is to entangle Russia in a quagmire and fight to the last Ukrainian. You love it.

      The only person reducing a people down to their leaders is you; I’m condemning putler and the individuals in power of Russia for creating this war. It’s a very common tactic to try and equate calling out the individuals in charge of a country with all the people of the country, as a way to hide behind the fact that you have no legitimate argument to make. Especially when the country in question is in practice a dictatorship. You’re gonna have to try a little harder than this to not get caught with your pants down, buddy.

      “Let us take over your country and murder your people or we’ll try to take over your country and murder your people. And if you resist or support people fighting us from murdering and taking over, then you’re the real evil person here.” Good take bro, stable genius stuff right here

        My legitimate arguments are irrelevant. We live in two different realities because this is a choose your own adventure story; you think Putin is an Asiatic orc that craves only power and blood, I think he is being backed into a corner and was provoked by Eastern expansion of NATO and the Euromaidan coup and the collapse of an allied government and the quagmire in Syria over the Western attempt to oust Assad.

        To you, he is a stupid orc that is too bloodthirsty to know what’s good for him and is destined to lose to Western-backed Ukraine. He also, simultaneously, is the god-emperor of all of Russia and Russians are helpless animals being lead to slaughter by their demon god Putler. So you think endless war will end in the West’s favor and not Russia, because he’s too stupid and subhuman to possibly win.

        Ukraine will be transformed from a breadbasked to a wasteland of land mines and cluster bombs, because you refuse to consider negotiated peace because you actually think Putin is too vile and putrid and monstrous to be negotiated with. Orientalism.
