I saw on reddit, a post about how Russia was evil because it was targeting Europeans and Australians with the shooting down of Malaysia flight 17 that happened years ago.

And in the comments people were like "100 dutch people died we will never forgive russia"

"20 australians died we hate Russia!"

and its like, at the same time in 2011, the US and NATO and their allies were killing thousands in the middle east every month

They were just brown people. They only view white people as human.

Like I knew that before, but in that moment I was just so digusted. If russia just killed 1,000 muslims nobody would have cared.

I just sat there filled with dread for like 10 minutes

I should not have clicked. These people are so disgustingly racist.

I've just blocked all the problem users and comms. Been great for me as I can still discover new communities without witnessing too much bigotry and political incompetence

I tried that, even in a more okay community the liberal mindset is always there.

It's morbidly funny because Trump does the same thing with calling some of his opposition Palestinian

Stop trying to blame Russia

No.

blame capitalism.

We can do both, but one of them has a more defined paper trail.

Apparently there is more evidence for Russiagate than there is for the ills of capitalism. I'm going to call Robert Mueller and inform him.
