      I watched it happen because I saw it happening and read the (too few) news reports that pointed out that it was indeed happening.

      But it’s like climate change. It seems to go in one ear and out the other for the vast majority of the population.

          What are you even talking about?

          The KREMLIN and Russia as a country should be no more. Who talked about a genocide?

              Yes but what to do with imperial russia then? They are killing its own people too already.

              They got their chance in the nineties, the west poured billions into russia, helped with tech and so on.

              Good thing I didn’t say Russia then. I said I wanted to see the Kremlin in its current state crash and burn, and I stand by that.

          No, see, we are good persons, and they are bad, so when they do genocide, it’s bad, because they’re bad, but when we do it, it’s good, because we’re good!

              …Y’know what, let’s try and dumb this down a bit, middle school style:

              1. The post you’re replying to accentuates the words good and bad. Why is that?
              2. When the post talks about actions, what adjectives are used to describe them? How does that relate to the actors doing them? What is the causal relation implied?
              3. The action used in the post is genocide - why is that, in particular used as an example? Is the post justifying genocide? What does the example of genocide mean for the causal relation implied?
              4. What is the opinion of the author on the sentiments expressed in the post?
              5. Does the post take a stance on real-world political actors? Does the post even mention any? If so, does it justify them, or condemn them?

      i’d dissapoint you, but the thing the prevous commenter listed are not unique to America nor the western world. It’s not the KGB necessarily, it’s just how the manipulations work. You don’t have to read KGB books to apply them
