My life is literally at risk just by me living and working in Ukraine. Forgive me if I don’t have much sympathy for russians living their lives safely and funding the terrorism with their taxes.
You think many Russians voluntarily joined the military? A lot of them were forced to join the military and there are many political prisoners who protested Putin who were sent to their deaths because they were forced into the military.
Holy crap dude.
Way to move the goalposts. I’m talking about the majority of the population that doesn’t give a shit about Ukraine or anything outside of their cozy little lives. The ones that only say something when it personally inconveniences them. The ones that watch their husbands, brothers and sons get killed in a senseless war and move on with their lives, content with the scraps putin throws them.
Even if it is 90% of the population, it is still shit to lump the remaining 10% in with them.
The remaining 10% are already out of the country and/or contributing to various anarchist organizations. You know full well I’m not lumping those in.
I see you lumping all Russians in in your rhetoric. And we are only speaking of those in the country. There are also millions in former Soviet satellite states. That is why being nuanced is important.
And if you meant not all of them, you made no effort to specify.
Nuanced, then. I condemn all russians who are still proud of being russian, indifferent to the actions of their government and military, and supporting their terrorism financially via taxes. That’s makes up about 99% of them. And the remainder would fully share my anger and grief, since they have to look at the 99% of indifferent shitheads go about their daily lives and whine about gas station queues.
