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

If you ask the average western lib they won't say, "yes, of course the lives of anyone in the Middle East or Africa is less important than mine." But they just expect people to be killed in conflicts in places like Syria or Sudan, the classic "they've been fighting for thousands of years" sort of worldview that they don't even realize is just based on white supremacy and imperialist propaganda. So when a small number of people in Australia are killed compared to even a single hour in Gaza they are naturally more shocked. At least the chuds and nazis admit that they only care about white people.

Yeah been watching people lose their shit over Rob Reiner and how horrible it was for him to be killed that were largely apathetic about Palestinians being buried in rubble.

I was at work when the Christchurch murders happened, breaking during my lunch break. One of my co-workers was watching and went "well, they must be used to it". It took me a second to register what he said and I just replied "in New Zealand?". The idea that, because it was a mosque that was targeted, made it a lesser target, made me incredibly mad for the rest of the shift.

If you cannot sleep because of the Russia-Ukraine conflict, here is some advice to calm you down:

  • Imagine this is happening in Africa
  • Imagine this is happening in the Middle East
  • Imagine Ukraine is Palestine and Russia is the US

I found a YouTube link in your comment. Here are links to the same video on alternative frontends that protect your privacy:

Nobody panics when things go "according to plan." Even if the plan is horrifying! If, tomorrow, I tell the press that, like, a terrorist will get shot, or a wedding of muslims will be blown up, nobody panics, because it's all "part of the plan". But when I say that one little old white person will die, well then everyone loses their minds.

I sure hope that these kkkrackers know that the USA shot down an Iranian civilian aircraft that killed all 290 people on board and they still, to this day, refuse to apologize:

"I will never apologize for the United State of America."

Very normal thing to say in response to being asked to apologize for killing almost 300 innocent people for no reason.

You left out the best part: Bush added "I don't care what the facts are!"

Beyond parody.

Europeans when the US invades multiple countries without provocation, slaughters a million people, but they're brown: sleepi

Europeans when the US is somewhat hesitant to provide unlimited military aid to Ukraine: dennis-stare

No, they were awake. Helping slaughter a million people.

Was it Russians that convinced them to support a genocide? Was it Russians that convinced them to carry out wars in the middle east that killed millions? I guess its Russians that convinced dems to sign off that increased military spending while knowing they're about to fight Venezuela

[–] CommunistCuddlefish@hexbear.net 24 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

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

yea

I pretty much never switch on /all unless I'm prepared for psychic damage

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

[–] ZeroHora@lemmy.ml 1 points 3 weeks ago

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

Blue MAGA indeed

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.

Do they know which political power helped pave the way towards Nationalism and preservation of National identities?

Who was fighting the hardest to create Russia and therefore a separate Russian identity? Was it Russians?

No it was America. Which is ironic because Amrirca is so devoid of it's own national identity it's people can't help but appropriate other identities. amerikkka

I hope he is okay
