I was a bit too young to have much of an opinion or impact there. In any case very much unlike Ukraine, Serbia actually was genociding people. “Get genocided by your central state, get independence” is more than fair if you ask me.

The Ukrainian state has been killing civilians indiscriminately in its two breakaway regions, they were just doing it for much longer than it took for any kind of intervention in Serbia.

When the west starts to pretend to care about muslims, you know they’re full of shit about any purported genocides. They went from pretending to care about Kosovar Albanians to murdering millions of muslims over the occupations of Iraq and Afghanistan.

So the Bundeswehr is a Nazi org because it’s using the iron cross as emblem?

It’s pretty funny having iron crosses constantly showing up on all the UA vehicles- I think we all know what they’re going for, they just left off a few lines.

So Russia suddenly isn’t European? That would come as news to Europe.

Russia has not been a part of ‘the west’, certainly not as far as most of the EU is concerned unless you’re trying to be intentionally obtuse

It has been a colonial empire for quite a while now. Or do you really think this didn’t happen with military force? That it’s just the natural extent of the Russian nation? Or that the Empire didn’t brutally exploit every new territory they conquered? “Colony” doesn’t mean “overseas”.

Every single larger, or affluent, European country engaged in colonialism.

That’s the Cossack cross. The Cossacks got it from the Templars, same root as the Iron Cross.

Were the Russians also doing chattel slavery like the west was for literally hundreds of years? Like sure conditions for serfs weren’t great, but the transatlantic slave trade, the mass genocide of the americas, the subjugation of africa, india and china built the wealth of europe. You’re trying to act like these two things are the same and they’re not

Отъебись ватник блядь.

lmao

seriously though:

They were abhorrent. You’re really playing semantics here, conditions were essentially slave-like just as, say, Cuba under Batista.

built the wealth of europe

No. Water power did, Europe has an absurd number of suitable streams for grain mills which allowed the creation of extensive trade, merchant, and scholar classes – as they could be fed. Which led to technological superiority which led to the capacity to roll over other nations (and the presumption that it was the right thing to do). Without that pre-existing wealth all that colonising would not have been possible.

Where’s the lie? You guys think that’s a good thing.

You’re accusing me of condoning or advocating genocide?
