They've got nothing to lose, since they're on their way out already.

There's a difference between hating Russians and hating Russia. Please don't hate me. I'm just a guy, like you.

There's a big difference between hating what Russia, and by the extension, the Russian people, are doing, and hating every single Russian individually. It's like hating the patriarchy, but not hating every single individual man.

Yes, collectively it's their fault, but you can't hold Yevgeni the farmer from Sertov, whose son got drafted against his will, personally responsible for Russian genocide in Ukraine.

You can definitely blame Baris from Moscow, who drives around with a "3 weeks to Berlin" bumper sticker and who has a bronze bust of Putin in his bedroom.

If you're at war I reckon nuance must not the highest priority. I very much doubt you are retarded.

Stay safe.

Russian is a music, a food, a sense of style, a story. Russian is culture not the current tyrany.

Why let the fascists steal that from the people? I understand your sentiment but I'll be honest it enrages me.

It's like a person saying that any black that doesn't join a gang isn't really black. They can't see a non-violent black as a member of that race. You ignore the problem in favor of factionalism. Black people are not inherently violent, it's an economic and political situation. Apply the same logic to Russians. See the obvious reasons for the current situations. It's not the people, it's their tyrant. A tyrant they cannot choose.

Black does not mean the worst of their people, Russian does not mean the worst of theirs. It's a signifier of culture, and ethnic origin. That is all

Make it the other way around and see the progressives as Russians and the others as not Russians. The progressives will thank you and the others will be annoyed. Win win

I kind of agree, and they might agree themselves too, but I don't know.

Did you just call me "one of the good ones"?

Get a grip, man. Stop turning an entire nationality into a monolith.

The problem is, nazi is a political ideology, but Russian is a nationality and ethnicity. I agree with your point about gay nazis, but would you say the same thing about gay germans?

Funny how pretty much no place is ever the one for PoLiTiCs.

Don't worry, being exposed to some eeeevil nasty politics won't kill you.

nah i think it's just that this content fits better in ncd or something, if you don't care about sorting then why do communities exist on this platform?

Right, because I'm OK with PoLiTiCaL content on 196 means I don't "care about sorting." Holy shit are some people fragile – do you see a rule here saying "no politics"? Does the sidebar read "Rule: You must post NON-POLITICAL CONTENT before you leave"? Or is this maybe just you being whiny?

Putin wishes he could be like Stalin. But he's not even close to being as competent. And present day Russia is nothing more than a shadow of peak industrial superpower USSR.
