ITT: People becoming the very same pocket shirt, horseshoe-pattern baldness Cold War boomers screaming red-faced about Russia that their parents and grandparents were. Sad!
"I would have survived Generalplan Ost through demonstrating my superior hatred of the Russians!
"
That reminded me of a Polish poem, though i forgot who wrote it, it goes something like that:
"Dziś nas straszycie komunistami, tak jak przed laty
Straszono naszych ojców nazwiskiem demokraty"
"You scare us with communists, like in the old time
our fathers were scared with the democrat name"
The fact the Israel does war crimes does not excuse Russia doing war crimes. Both should be punished.
One of these is the enemy of you nation that you've been taught your whole life to warmonger against.
The other is your ally that your taxes pay for, and you supply the weapons for to commit genocide.
You have more of a responsibility to confront one than the other. Do you not understand this, or do you just like playing dumb to both sides everything and wash away your own guilt? You realize playing into your nations' imperialist warmongering narratives AND defending Israeli genocide with "both sides" crap doubles your sins, it doesn't cancel them out.
I'm not from us. My government does not contribute to Isreal at all. We hoever contribute as much aid to Palestine and Ukraine as we can. I'm not from a rich country, so it's a drop in a bucket..
if you are from part of the imperialist bloc of the west, yes you to contribute directly and indirectly to the western project of colonization.
If not, it's sad to see you've let western imperialist narratives colonize your mind
if you think these are anywhere on the same scale or barbarity then you're extremely misinformed about the world. Israel killed more civilians in a month then Russia did in 3 years.
