    ^ This is baseless Pro-Kremlin misinformation and revisionist history that attempts to justify the illegal annexation of sovereign Ukrainian land. Genocides can indeed be perpetrated between “peers” (though it’s hilarious that there was once a point Ruzzia didn’t consider them to be a peer, hence the 3 day SMO (LOL!). So here this sadistic genocide-endorser condones the relentless strikes of civilian cities and death of Ukrainian children just the same, all of which could stop if Ruzzia simply left Ukraine’s sovereign land, including Donbas and Crimea.

    Stop simping for dictators.

    Free Palestine

    See? That easy.

      What did I say that is baseless? Be very specific. Is it the fact that Russian is spoken at higher rates in the Donbass?

      Or is it that the people of Donetsk and Luhansk seceded in 2014, in response to Euromaidan?

      Or, perhaps, is it that Ukraine is also guilty of targeting civilians in Russia, not to speak of the Donbass region?

      Meanwhile, even the minimum confirmed deaths of Palestinians are multiple times the confirmed deaths of Ukrainian civilians, despite Ukraine being in an active war for a year longer.

      I’m not here to justify anything. I am here to point out your trivialization of genocide in Palestine and your disregard for the people of the Donbass region. When you hurl allegations of genocide as though they are meaningless, you make light of the most widely documented and understood ongoing genocide in the world. Standing up for Palestine and taking an accurate view against blatant undermining of their plight is not “pro-Kremlin.” I already said you could hang Putin, he’s a reactionary nationalist.

      Saying “free Palestine” is hypocritical when you’ve said this zinger:

      What’s wrong with loving Israel? Just as I can love Palestine but not Hamas. It’s Netanyahu and far-right nationalist government who is clearly the problem. And no, I don’t think I will. If you want to block me then go for it buddy — just know that’s a reflection of your own insecurities, sub-22-year-old tankie.

      Just as you call Donetsk and Luhansk “traitors,” you also cape for settler-colonialism and give Israel a free pass. This is pure liberal Zionism, both-sidesing a genocide. This is further driven home by the fact that only 4 countries internationally recognize genocide committed by Russia:

      While the vast majority of the world recognizes the genocide in Palestine:

      None of this is “pro-Kremlin.” Above all, I stand with the people of Palestine, as well as those in the Donbass, in their struggles for self-determination, as is in line with Marxism-Leninism.

        Irrelevant copy-pasta aside that in no way shape or form undermines or refutes a modicum of my points, why didn’t you just say yes?

        Also weird one thinks invading and bombing Kyiv children is okay. As if UK could invade USA if suddenly parts of new England became sympathetic to England again hahahaha!

          There’s no copypasta, and I refuted every one of your points. I also backed up every one of my points, referencing purely western, pro-Ukrainian sources. You dodged every single point of mine, and regularly accuse communists of being paid agitators, bots, or sockpuppets, rather than actually engage with the points at hand. All of this to defend Israel and the west.

          I never justified any bombing of children either, this is just blood libel. The scale isn’t “totally okay” vs. “Genocide,” this is a cartoonishly black and white view of the world.

            Please list where you refuted my points; link them directly instead of gish-gallop spam.

            The scale isn’t “totally okay” vs. “Genocide,” this is a

            Indeed, it is Genocide vs. Genocide. Splitting hairs in between reveals your apologist rhetoric. What’s cartoonish is endlessly droning on – just like a zionist – how your preferred Genocide is somehow justifiable because some people are… Sympathetic to Russia and could just move there if they wanted? Yikes!

            Meanwhile you have me wondering if you believe the French should invade parts of Canada where French is spoken more, hahahahahah! Talk about cartoonish.

              I refuted them right here, which you call “gish-gallop” and “copy-pasta.” The overwhelming majority of the world does not believe there is genocide in Ukraine, while the overwhelming majority of the world understands that there is genocide in Palestine. You have never once backed up your fringe claims, and as a consequence have continuously undermined the Palestinian genocide and the struggle for self-determination in the Donbass. This is incredibly bad-faith on your part.

                Nope, not seeing it, sorry. I already highlighted some blatant fallacies within your copy-pasta spam that didn’t settle with me, so repeatedly linking to that comment isn’t going to convince me.

                If your goal here is to persuade (otherwise, what else would it be?), then you’re utterly failing.

                Keep reviewing my modlog; maybe you’ll learn some things. Lots of innocent civilians live in Israel; that is independent of being zionist and independent of condoning genocide. Just as I wouldn’t presume upon every Palestinian being sympathetic to the war criminals of Hamas who raped and murdered children on October 7th – right?

                Now I’ll wait for you to justify France invading Canada because French is spoken in certain regions more, lol. Downright hilarious one thought this somehow justified leveling of Mariupol Theater; the rape of bucha; the relentless bombings of cities who most certainly did not vote for or support Russia let alone speak Russian lol.
