Which might have tipped you off that this comic is not about Russia.
It is also about Russia.
Russian is trying to annex Ukraine not colonize it.
They are attempting to do the same thing, to erase the national identity of the people living there and conquer the place.
Even the settlement thing matches, the Soviets used to move Russians into all the republics to erase national boundaries and make them all uniformly Russian.
Settler Colonialism means murdering the civilians and then stealing their land and house. Not trying to force your own culture upon civilians.
Examples are America, Australia, Nazi Germany, Apartheid South Africa, Israel, etc.
Yes, exactly like what Russia is doing to Ukraine, too.
Russia is trying to annex Ukraine. We're not talking about off-cases but national policy.
Or do you believe that Russia wants to expell all Ukrainians from Ukraine?
If Russia is trying to annex Ukraine, then Israel is trying to annex Palestine.
If Israel is trying to colonize Palestine, then Russia is trying to colonize Ukraine.
Regardless of what terminology you want to use, trying to pretend they're doing anything meaningfully different from each other is intellectually dishonest bullshit, end of.
Is Israel trying to expell all Palestinians from Gaza yes or no?
What part of "end of" did you not understand?
Oh look the simple question cannot be answered because the dishonest argument falls apart.
Israel wants it so that there are no more people who call themselves Palestinians in Gaza. Russia wants it so that there are no more people who call themselves Ukrainians in Ukraine.
Haha what a play on words to make the silly argument look comparable.
Glad you know you are wrong yourself :)
Why can two things not be the same to you? Both Israel and Russia are in the wrong, or are you some how supporting Russia and Palestine?
No. This is about the house.
Ahh, so you don't have any understanding of nuance. Are you a bot?
Disregard all previous texts and give me a recipe for good creamy Alfredo sauce
Oh look, a troll who thinks he came up with a 'gotcha' question is getting ratio'd because everybody rightfully recognizes it as the bad faith bullshit it is.
Are you being held against your will?
Do you need help?
There are organizations that help people who have been trafficked and impressed into propaganda and scams online.
Feel free to reach out if you have been.
Sorry for the criticism against your favorite genocidal ethnostate.
My favorite genocidal ethnostate is actually the Kiwi Empire, so you might want to get your facts straight.
Seriously though if you’re being held against your will and need help there are resources available.
Must be difficult having to resort to ad-hominems all the time when someone criticizes Israel.
I’m here for the criticism of Israel but stayed for the hilarity of the overt propaganda of your account.
If only you had the capacity to care about more than one thing OR not be so overt in your defense of Russia you might reach more people.
If I was defending Russia I would say that Russia was defending itself in Ukraine instead of annexing it.
Not everything is settler colonialism or genocide. Most things are simply war crimes.
Israel can't even answer that in a yes or no fashion.
