You have a whole entire counteroffensive that shows the exact opposite.
Also
Have you taken a look at a map of the current situation? That's just straight up bullshit
nationalism is like leprosy .. a state once infected is left with his territories severed from it, its youth withered away into the now foreign grounds and its spirits broken under the Mad screams of the unrelentlessly uneffected ...
You're a child
And you're delusional. Fitting really, in some comical sense. The child and the idiot.
And they call me propagandized. Of course since you're Ukrainian you experience this war totally different than I, but nothing on the ground suggests that even a slither of what you've just said is true.
Except for Azov, Banderites, and all the other assorted trash you allow to thrive in your shithole
Damn, I thought your rules preclude you from making such a racist remark against a nationality. You can go join Trump with calling places "shitholes".
I find this weird support for Russia fascinating. They are clearly not free from nationalists and extremists sentiments themselves. Their own state media is calling for pre-emptive nuking of cities, Ireland being an acceptable collateral when nuking the UK, and their own former prime minister Medveded is yelling on twitter about achieving "Greater Russia". Here's someone who was awarded "Hero of the Russian Federation" by Putin himself.. It's almost as if Russia doesn't actually care, and they are just using it for their propaganda.
Also lol, they're saying they're not going to execute them because they aren't barbarians and giving them time to retreat, and then you take offense to that? That's such an odd stance. I personally applaud when someone says they want to avoid unnecesairy deaths, but you do you.
"You can't call our neo-Nazis trash and our state that celebrates Nazi collaborators a shithole! That's, uh, uh, that's racist!"
America is a shithole, too, if you were wondering.
I agree it has its problems, but I'm not an American so it's easier to not get deluded by what they call "the American dream". Helps that even in my English classes growing up we dealt with topics such as the rampant poverty issues Americans face, and how many children live in poverty in the US. Though context matters; America is currently not being invaded. If it was a minor country on the world stage I would also not call it a "shithole". Same reason I can detect issues in certain African countries without ever calling them by that name, like one of their presidents did.
If you are from America, calling a country that's been suffering your world hegemony for so long a 'shithole', I can only say you are part of the reason that's the situation, and so you have no rights to call any country a shithole.
Not every Ukrainian is a Nazi. But sure, let your hate cloud your sense of decency, if that makes you feel better. I'm sure the mothers I've spoken to will be happy their children died because they were Nazis, besides I'm sure their elderly people just had it coming.. /s
Unlike you I don't see them as "acceptable collateral".
Neither myself nor the person you were replying to claimed this. They were talking about "Azov, Banderites, and all the other assorted [fascist] trash."
I never said the original poster made a general statement about the people, just the country being called a shithole, you came in and added the "can't call neo-nazi's trash anymore", a ridiculous statement I never made. In the context of my response being about how he refers to the country of Ukraine, how can your sarcastic complaint about me not be seen as referring to the the people? That's why I said not every Ukrainian is a Nazi.
My comment was pretty particular about the "your shithole" part. I don't care what negative thing he calls Banderites, and you'll see from my previous comments elsewhere in this thread I have no love for those who adore him.
Also I find it ridiculous you all are very happy to point to problematic groups in one country, yet systematically ignore it in another. Double standards like this is why I have difficulties not seeing the bias at play in these discussions.
That is a blatant lie. The commenter very clearly called all of Ukraine a shithole. Oops, you accidentally revealed your powerlevel.
You should tell NATO that. They don't listen to us but maybe they'll listen to you and stop the killing.
Fascists aren't a race.
Please re-read my opening sentence before responding. I'm clearly talking about the 'your shithole' part. I don't care if someone insults fascists. But it's racist to call a place "shithole", especially if the poster is from a 'first world country'.
Ah your mask fell off, nazi.
Is this your hero?
He literally said Putin is worse than Hitler in another comment so I'm thinking maybe Bandera is his hero because he was a Nazi
Nailed it. That's exactly what the Banderites think.
Yeah anyone supporting Banderas really needs to pick up a book that goes through what he did in his life. Whatever good someone might think he did, has been destroyed by his abhorrent actions. I don't applaud Hitler either for his progressive (at the time) animal rights.. He's a shit person, and deserved worse.
They know what Bandera did. That's what they like about him. He was cleansing their blessed homeland of whatever the Ukrainian word for sub humans is. They are Nazis. They want to kill everyone who isn't like them, and once they're done they'll start killing each other for being insufficient blond haired and blue eyed.
I try not to assume too much about the person on the other end, depending on the age he might just be an edgy teenager lashing out (yeah I know that's ironic with my previous statement). I know my upbringing glossed over certain "troubling" parts of my country's history, and that left me with certain messed up beliefs as well that I had to move past (and I luckily did)
In the end I hope they're someone who is just being edgy and ill-informed and my response at least plants a seed of doubt that is enough to prosper into acquiring the knowledge to move past their current beliefs
But you might be right, I might just be a tad overtly optimistic here. But for me Nazis are an existential threat, so I'd rather convert them early than deal with the repercussions if they ever get political power over people like myself again.
Good point.
Bandera died like a dog ❤️
This might be the funniest thing I have ever read in my life. Stalin didn't kill enough of you people
For folks wondering, this is referring to Nazis and Nazi collaborators. It's abundantly clear that much more should have been done to destroy Nazism after WWII, just as much more should have been done to destroy the Confederacy after the U.S. Civil War.
aka fascists
You should clarify that you mean Nazi collaborators
Every time I see your username I chuckle
I was replying to an open and proud Nazi, I figured it would be obvious. I guess his comment got deleted tho. So I'll clarify: STALIN SHOULD HAVE KILLED MORE NAZIS AND NAZI COLLABORATORS. EVERYONE WHO WAS SAVED BY OPERATION PAPERCLIP SHOULD HAVE INSTEAD BEEN SHOVED INTO THE BARBARA PIT. WERNHER VON BRAUN SHOULD HAVE BEEN TORN APART BY RABID DOGS
Lol, no. Also what the fuck is this "shit people olympics" ranking you got going on?
Get Stashynskyied, Banderite
Don't be mean to them, they're manifesting victory and you're harshing the energy.
I know you're being sarcastic but no, they don't deserve being talked to nicely. All these bloodthirsty libs are happy to dance on the graves of thousands upon thousands of Ukrainians because of some vague notion of the west being 'the good guys', gladly ignoring history but being incredibly smug in their ignorance. We provide sources, walls of text to explain where we're coming from, only for them to ignore all the work and effort we put in and go back to their fuckin bubble to complain about how we're 'tankies' and pat each other on the back for being anti-amperialist NATO lovers, lacking either the knowledge or the ideological spine to see the absolute hypocrisy in what they're doing. Or the smug reddit tier comment saying 'I ain't reading all that' because they need spend a fucking minute reading the thoughts of someone better informed than them.
Nothing more despicable than Putin bros like you invoking the "lives of Ukrainians" while regurgitating Putin propaganda. Literally Der Stürmer material in people like you.
TL;DR?
No
It would take you less that 15 seconds to just read the comment.
