Russia is committing a genocide. By definition.

Of course it is not. By definition. Russia is conducting a conventional war and with far less indiscriminate bombing than typical Western "interventions". But it would be amazing to see your logic and then try to apply it consistently.

And invasion.

Like that of Gaza? Lebanon? Syria? Iraq? Afghanistan? Haiti? Are you consistent in your hate?

And mass rape.

There is no evidence of systemic mass rape by Russia in Ukraine.

And a huge litany of human rights abuses.

Well yes that is definitely true. But again, are you consistent in your hate? Because if the object is human rights abuses Russia is nowhere near the top.

I don't care for your whataboutism (a common soviet tactic, interesting).

Inconsistency in pursuit of chauvinism is so common that one must regularly try to reorient the confused and biased framings. If you have this much vitriol for Russia and thr people in it despite other countries doing more and worse why do you not hate those countries and everyone in them just as much? It more?

It reveals that, despite the pretenses and rhetoric, none of that really matters to you. It is just an excuse for getting to be chauvinist.

lmao

Dae the LIBRULZ are being RUSSOPHOBIC

Yes, liberals are often Russophobic nowadays.

Yawn. Stop repeating the propaganda of a murderous dictatorship that has invaded their neighbour and is committing a genocide and mass rape as we speak.

Russia is more of an oligarchy, like a huge number of countries that are not the current Object of Hate. Russia is not committing a genocide, that is absurd. It is a conventional modern war, which is horrific enough on its own. The US and Israel are committing genocide, however. The US is doing two at once, actually. Re: mass rape, there is little to no evidence of anything systemic, which I believe is what this would have to mean. But again, war is horrific, and rape is a common wrapon of war. No armies of Western states are innocent of this.

Anyways I am getting tripped up in your internalized propaganda. What propaganda am I repeating, exactly, and how is it false?

The Nazis are the ones trying to do their own little Anschluss.

The Nazis are the people with Black Sun tats normalizing racial slurs and shelling civilian areas.

Presumably you also hate most Americans and Israelis, then.

Personally, I only hate those who take an active role in a major injustice and am merely frustrated with those who are passive, and I do so consistently across nationalities.

Of course there was and it is why their comment was removed.

Of course it is. It is punishing all members of a nationality for the actions if their government.

The protests against the War on Iraq represented a small percentage of the US population and ran out of steam in a few weeks.

I think you are confused. Being against the genocide of Gaza is not a MAGA thing.

Is that type of person, "asshole"? That seems to be the entirety of Linus' personality, such as it is.

You absolutely were using it in that sense.

I was not. Please do your best to participate in good faith and not make things up, let alone make them up and then repeatedly assert them based on nothing.

There is literally nowhere on planet earth where humans live in any large number where you will not find Nazis.

That is true, but also does not contradict anything I have said, nor does it excuse those who repeat their racist and chauvinist talking points.

Claiming that Ukraine is rife with it in any meaningful sense

I haven't said anything like this. That is your insertion.

Stop repeating Russian propaganda.

Please stop lying about what I have said.

Honestly, what is it with lemmy.ml and people who love Russia?

It's not me, it is you doing a poor job at wrestling with your cognitive dissonance. My mere mention of Russophobia from liberals, borrowed from Ukrainian Nazis, resulted in you inventing entire lines of thought and arguments that were not there rather than directly engaging with the facts if the matter. This is defensive behavior intended to avoid what I said and return to an arena where you feel more comfortable.

Not ironically, that arena is one where you feel comfortable being against Russia, lmao.

The "various comoliance requirements" are unstated. Everything here is being left to a vague implication.
