“I’m fine with Asians, but Russians are Asians. They have a completely different culture, vision. Our key difference from them is humanity.”

    Well I wouldn’t call my enemies Asians and assert my own European identity if I was being accused of being a Nazi.

    It seems you basically agree he said the wrong thing. I have no idea why you’re defending him - if it’s not racism, it’s at least xenophobic. “They are fundamentally different from us” isn’t always Nazi shit, but it’s always wrong!

    my country

    “Everyone who disagrees with me is a foreign agent!”

    Fuck off. I make car parts in Iowa. No one is paying me to argue with you, I came to these conclusions all on my own.

    I’m not on Russia’s side. I’m against the war.

    I’m just against both sides of the war. You can do that, you know?

      Had me in the first half- I was all set to say now you get it. Then you went right back off the deep end. You live in commutopia and fail to use critical thinking. The comment about my country was directed at Ukraine and russia and there supporters/etc. if you identify as one that’s on you.

      Yeah racism is wrong regardless. No it doesn’t default into making you a nazi. It makes you flawed like everyone else. But it sur isn’t “OMG UR A NAZI”

      I haven’t checked everyone’s in here but everyone I have checked has very poignant comment histories- so, so far, it’s accurate to say that everyone in here arguing isn’t here for anything except more Russian propaganda

        I’m in the US, so it’s absolutely pointless for me to speak out against Russia. I have zero input on that side of the war. I’m an irrelevant bystander as far as Russia is concerned. What’s the point of having a fair and balanced comment history?

        But I sure as shit have input on this side of the war! I speak to other English speakers about the need to end the war from our side because they might listen. I put my efforts into pointing out that we are supporting extreme nationalists and racists, because on top of being factually true it highlights the blowback potential.

        So don’t be surprised when this turns out just like Afghanistan with the US funding extremists against Russia that then turn around and attack the US.

        This is how we get the next 9/11

        History repeats.

          How very myopic of you. Us isn’t supporting a resistance or terrorist group- its supporting the legitimate autonomous government against an imperialistic power grab from a dying last gasp from russia.

          History does repeat itself and traditionally russia goes into steep declines after failed power grabs. I see no reason this will be different.

            I mean Euromaidan was a US supported coup but whatever

            I can agree with the end of your comment - Russia’s future is as China’s gas station

              As for a balanced comment history- it would show you actually think about a thing rather than latching onto propaganda talking points that fit a preconceived narrative.

              Normally I’d debate you on this too- but I’m pretty sure you aren’t interested in providing actual data and are going to default to propaganda.
