    I don’t need to respond with anything. The racism is absolutely clear to anyone reading your words.

    I’m also willing to bet you don’t feel the same way about the English.

      I don’t have a problem with the English.

      Nor do I have a problem with most countries.

      Russia are the exception, they have only ever brought misery and brutality.

      Ironically enough, their worst victims were always their Slavic brothers.

      Talk about raicsm, why do they hate their own race so? You don’t pull a Holodomor without a lot of deep-seated hatred.

      I think you two are missing each other. One is regionally focussed and responding to the immediacy of a regional crisis; the rhetoric is to encourage action that will alleviate the regional crisis, including an appeal to globalism. The other is enforcing a global viewpoint that tries to trump any regional concerns out of principle and the rhetoric is aimed at the global forum that is lemmy.

      Horse vs pony. Whatever, people.

      The quibbles over the categorization niceties turn into accusations of racism. Which may or may not be active in this situation but the evidence is not established well enough for the accusation, which is simply a rhetorical trump card here.

      Sadly, the state of discourse is so poisonous that ethnicity, which is real, is being swapped out for race, which is not real.
