“It is with great reluctance that I have agreed to this calling. I love democracy… I love the Republic. The power you give me I will lay down when this crisis has abated. And as my first act with this new authority, I will create a Grand Army of the Republic to counter the increasing threats of the Separatists.”
Oh are they doing the “Ukrainians were the real fascists all along” propaganda bit? Pretty weak sauce when Russia is glidebombing apartments and Ukraine keeps it to military targets
I’m taking a broadly anti-fascist stance and merely reacting to the anti-democratic sentiment of both Ukraine’s statements and the commentary that is prevalent in this thread. As a supporter of Ukraine generally, I’ve heard and largely dismissed the ‘fascist’ critique I’ve heard from Russia bots over the years. Not being intimately familiar with all the nuances of Ukraine culture snd history, i based this mostly on a ‘give them the benefit of doubt’ approach given that they’re the victims in this conflict.
All of that being said, if the start acting like fascists, they don’t get a hall pass just because they’re victims.
Well, it’s a reference that you’re apparently missing. I suppose I could make a more direct, nuanced comment, but I’ve learned that this circlejerk of a community has no patience for substance or actual discourse.
You expect to have a good quality discourse after starting with a silly movie reference? And then ranting about circlejerks?
We have a saying, translates to something like “the forest replies in the similar manner as you yell into it.”
Perhaps try to say something of substance and make sense, that might help.

I figured that out by your posting time and other comments on your profile, cant hide what you are, scum.
Figured what out? That I’m anti-fascist? Should I interpret your insult to mean that you’re in fact a fascist?
The narrative these puppets use to counter that is that Ukraine is bombing itself to make Russia look bad.
I wish I was making this up.
I was just advocating for democracy in a sea of people doing the opposite.
What the hell are you on about?

Might help if you made some kind of sense.
But if you are happy, please, do continue.

Oh, I promise you, I have no expectation of good quality discourse from this community.
So you just like to waste your time, then? Mmkay. Have fun with that.
By any chance, do you know how long putin is in power? More than 14 years? :O no! That sounds very facist, this cant be true!
I’m taking a broadly anti-fascist stance. Why do you interpret my advocacy for democracy as a defense of Russia?
