If you can't show empathy for murdered civilians just because of their nationality, are you really any better? This was a concert hall, not a military base. Think about what you are tacitly endorsing here...
They said struggle - not that they couldn't. Dont just attribute such a horrible thing based on your own reading.
You can have all the empathy for the Russian people but no empathy for the Russian state. After all, the Russian state is also directly responsible for the continuous cold blooded murder of Ukrainian civilians. Not like they gave much warning on February 24th 2022, or in 2014.
Are you expecting me to tolerate the intolerant? No thanks. They don't have any empathy towards Ukrainian civilians either. They rather encourage what is happening, be it torture, rape or murder and have imperialistic ambitions that stretch far beyond Ukraine, wanting to do the same to my country and others. So why should I care? If two scumbag factions murder each other then that's a win win situation.
Just to clarify, you hold ethnic hatred towards all Russian people?
Russia holds almost 200 different ethnic groups (potentially less since they ethnic cleanse their own populations in the Ukrainian meat grinder), so no. I hold hatred towards a terrorist state.
That's a lot of words to say "yes".
Tankies once again proving they live in an alternative reality where they can just spin everything to whatever suits their confirmation bias.
"Everyone who disagrees with me is a communist", lmao.
I said Tankie, my rashist lemmy.ml dude. And my thoughts aren't a matter of your opinion either. That's literal mental gymnastics.
I joined this instance a long time ago back when it was one of the largest. I'll admit that it has become more niche since the Reddit exodus. Consider being less tribalist.
Edit: FYI, lemmy.ml is the instance run by the core lemmy devs. If that makes it a Tankie instance, then Lemmy must be Tankie software, so I trust you'll be deleting your account and joining a Kbin instance asap.
And you feel the need to defend a literal terrorist state. Would you have done so with Nazi Germany too?

The Lemmy devs are indeed literal Tankies, which is a quite well known fact. They also own lemmygrad, which is more or less the same as lemmy.ml except that it isn't pretending to be something else. lol

I'm literally using a mbin instance right this moment. I never really used Lemmy, one reason being that the devs are Tankies. Nice collection of self owns my guy.
I'm not defending the state, I'm defending its people. You need to learn the difference.
And whatever fucking instance you're on, you're clearly confusing lemmy.ml with lemmygrad.ml.

Rich of you to bring "learning" into this. If you're already this ill informed about Lemmy, then it's clear that you also have no fucking idea what you're talking about in regards to the Russian populace either.
The majority is in support of what is happening in Ukraine, there's literally intercepted calls between wives & soldiers, accepting or even encouraging them to rape, torture or even kill Ukrainian civilians, including kids. You can even go watch street interviews. Even in Moscow & St. Petersburg, which arguably are the most "moderate" Russians, you'll find the majority wanting this not just for Ukraine but the rest of the world too.

Mbin is a kbin fork, it's not a Lemmy instance.
And no, I'm not confusing lemmygrad with lemmy.ml. They're both hosted by the developers and lemmy.ml is notorious for its Tankie users. Just look at how many of them are in the lemmy.ml worldnews community, spreading disinformation & direct personal attacks on regular people and their opinions. The mods literally do nothing about either, because they have the same mindset. That instance merely pretends to be something more legit, but that falls apart immediately when you actually take a look at it. It's just lemmygrad in disguise.
