Russian pacifists want Russia to stop invading Ukraine.
Lemmygrad / Hexbear pacifists want Ukraine to appease Russia and give up territory.
They are not the same.
No, we want Ukraine to stop trying to ethnically cleanse the Donbas and give the people there self determination. And we want the Ukrainian government to stop forcibly conscripting people to go die needlessly on the front in a clearly losing war. We want NATO to stop enabling all of that (it literally wouldn't be happening if they weren't demanding that it continue). That's what it is to be a peace activist. And I'm fairly sure I can speak for all of us, we are not pacifists, lol. But we are advocates for peace and the end to the horrible and needless loss of life.
Nice try to completely twist reality, and completely misrepresent us, as you war mongering dronies always do.
Edit: We actually give a shit about all the Ukrainian people being thrown into a fucking meat grinder. We care about their lives. The people who just say "more weapons to Ukraine!" do not give a shit about the lives of the people there. They're happy to just let the war keep dragging on until the last capable Ukrainian is dead. An example of how WE feel about the tragedy of the situation: https://hexbear.net/post/503747 (hexbear link to a lemmygrad news post)
So be fucking outraged then that Russia started, and is continuing this war. They're the ones killing Ukrainians in their homeland.
A comment from that link:
Russia is committing genocide. They've been raping and killing civilians since the start, this is where your anger and energy needs to be. Imagine being outraged at the nation defending itself from genocide, and those countries that are sending the tools that they're being asked for to help defend themselves.
its so weird that the day the tanks rolled over the border of Ukraine history magically just began, there was no material reality prior to this event, or any geopolitical events of consequence we could connect to this outcome, certainly none that had to do with openly threatening to expand a hostile military alliance with supersonic and nuclear missiles 5 minutes from the capital city of Moscow
i wonder if the US has ever done the exact same thing in the name of national security and what the NATO heads said about it then
every pro NATO take is certified baby brain shit that demonstrates nothing but a lack of understanding of material reality, history, geopolitics, on top of an absolute disregard for human life, gross hypocrisy and a level of false outrage that is always directly proportional to how loudly they're calling to escalate bloodshed
log off dude
No :)
RUSSIA BEST!!!! RUSSIA THE PEACEKEEPERS!!! THE HUMANITARIANS! DEFEND RUSSIA AT ALL COSTS! SPREAD ALL THE RUSSIAN PROPAGANDA!! RUSSIA CAN DO NO WRONG! POOR POOR RUSSIA HAD NO CHOICE!!
Am I doing it right?
No. You're not doing it right. You're supposed to learn what the fuck you're talking about first. And you didn't so now you're having a childish tantrum at people talking back to you.
You think they told you to log off for their benefit and not your own? That's twice you've said something stupid because you didn't know what was going on around you.
They're defending the imperialistic warmongering Russian state who are shelling and bombing civilians and who are literally creating the bloodbath.
I'm not the one that needs to log off. But go ahead and keep shilling for Russia.
Death to America

Edit andEdgy!
hey as long as we're concerned about warmongering imperialists killing civilians indiscriminately, might as well not forget the all-time world champions
Genghis Khan?
Alexa, look up "British empire genocide". Oh dear. It's unclear what you were searching for.
Did you mean...
Is it the 10 million the Brits killed in 1770 in India?
The 5 million in India, again, in the 1870's?
The thousands they killed in, you guessed it, India again in the 1920's by kettling and mass executing protestors?
The tens of thousands in Malaysia in the 1950's?
The "Boer War?"
IS IRELAND REAL? WHO COULD SAY!
Brits are the GOAT world champions at imperialist genocide. The US is trying their best, but its a hard record to top.
Anyway,
Sorry just trying to find the part of this thread where we were talking about the history of the UK... Oh no wait you're just doing the classic whataboutism that you guys enjoy, as if I'm going to start getting all defensive 👍. Nice try though.
Russia turned the other cheek for eight years as Ukraine continued breaking treaty after treaty and committing genocide on Russia's border while at the same time threatening to host NATO nuclear weapons and invade their territory. They were dragged into this war by necessity. If I had any doubt in your typical American ignorance of foreign affairs, I would call you the warmonger. But I just call you an idiot.
Learn what the fuck you're talking about. Stop using words for their impact alone.
Everything you've just said is textbook Russian myths. And you've got the audacity to tell me I don't know what I'm talking about.
You don't know what you're talking about because you dismiss all outside information as being tainted by the enemy.
I dismiss the Russian lies, yes.
And all the western lies reported on before the war started retroactively
Projection. Noone from Hexbear has ever said this or will ever say this.
