I wish there was at least half the amount of this kind of memes about Russia
This was about settler-colonial states in particular. Not to say I wouldnโt love to see the Bourgeois Russian state go through another 7-11-1917.
That's fair. Wasn't trying to take a jab at you in particular, if it came off that way, I'm sorry
If you think the Western public is more anti-Isreal than rabidly anti-Russia, I don't know what to tell you.
Disclaimer: I think they're both fucking awful. Isreal is objectively worse though.
Not the public, just this community. Although it could be confirmation bias on my side
Its also just what's in the news. If Lemmy was big in March 2022, we would likely be flooded with them.
Yeah but that would go against the hexbear narrative of "neo-USSR good because communism, anything western-adjacent is imperialism bad"
Nuance, or frankly any political intelligence, is not their strong suit
No one on hexbear likes Russia in its current state. No one thinks it is a "neo-USSR" (lmao). Russia is not Communist and no self respecting communist would call it that. The West is imperialist and bad, the most obvious example of this being the entire global south.
Have you ever been on hexbear?
Meanwhile in this thread by hexbear users: "nothing Russia is doing is that bad, they should just become citizens, stop hating on russia"
For "not liking" Russia imperialism, they sure spend a lot of fucking time apologizing for Russia's imperialism. We can hate multiple despotic shitholes at the same time, they are not mutually exclusive.
I mean the fact that you think the people of hexbear support the Russian Federation thinking its communist but then go on to say they have no nuance or political intelligence is kind of funny
sure, make comparisons between Nazi Germany, Apartheid Israel and ... Russia
Are Ukrainians being crammed into a strip being bombed constantly without food or water? Russia despite being reactionary in many ways (eg LGBTQ rights) is relatively tolerant towards religious and ethnic minorities.
Such malicious comparison. Fuck you.
Oh fuck off. Russia is committing cultural genocide and is constantly bombing civilian targets. Russia thinks nothing of bombing hospitals or other civilian infrastructure. The only reason the Ukrainians are not also being crammed into a strip is because Russia's military hasn't been capable of doing that.
Edit: clarity
Actually, yes, Ukrainians that happened to live in the east of Ukraine are in fact stuck in a literal war zone without feasible way to live... unless they accept Russian "citizenship", that is
they can get to Europe because they are white enough. Its not an open air prison in the same way Gaza is.
Russian bombing campaign is nothing like Gaza. Gazans can't obtain Israeli citizenship, Palestinian passports aren't widely recognized. Meanwhile both Ukrainian and Russian passports are internationally recognized.
A citizenship is a citizenship. No need for quotes, Russian citizens can get Russian passports, get access to Russian benefits and travel.
Stop making silly comparisons.
The only people who can be compared to the situation Palestinians are in right now are Rohingya Muslims.
No shit, nothing is the same way Gaza is. Doesn't make it a non-issue. And "citizenship" deserves quotes if it's enforced by an invading military.
Also, good luck getting to anywhere, when all airports and major roads leading out of the occupied territory are blocked and/or destroyed.
Ukrainian militias have been shelling Donbas for about 8 years before 2022.
Oh no, hexbear is leaking again.
Go back to your dictator-loving friends and stay there.
