    Were the Russians also doing chattel slavery like the west was for literally hundreds of years? Like sure conditions for serfs weren’t great, but the transatlantic slave trade, the mass genocide of the americas, the subjugation of africa, india and china built the wealth of europe. You’re trying to act like these two things are the same and they’re not

    Отъебись ватник блядь.

    lmao

    seriously though:

    The Ukrainian state has been killing civilians indiscriminately in its two breakaway regions

    Where’s the lie? You guys think that’s a good thing. Link to more info

      They were abhorrent. You’re really playing semantics here, conditions were essentially slave-like just as, say, Cuba under Batista.

      built the wealth of europe

      No. Water power did, Europe has an absurd number of suitable streams for grain mills which allowed the creation of extensive trade, merchant, and scholar classes – as they could be fed. Which led to technological superiority which led to the capacity to roll over other nations (and the presumption that it was the right thing to do). Without that pre-existing wealth all that colonising would not have been possible.

      Where’s the lie? You guys think that’s a good thing.

      You’re accusing me of condoning or advocating genocide?

      • You’re accusing me of condoning or advocating genocide?

        You already told me to fuck off for pointing out that parts of Ukraine have been getting shelled by its own government for over 8 years, considering that response, yes that was my conclusion.

          No. I told you to fuck off for this:

          The Ukrainian state has been killing civilians indiscriminately in its two breakaway regions

          Yes, Ukraine has been shelling Russian positions in those regions for quite a while now.

            Donetsk city has been routinely getting hit for years, it’s why the SMO started

            and again here you are cheerleading for indiscriminately killing civilians

            Yes, Ukraine has been shelling Russian positions in those regions for quite a while now.

              it’s why the SMO started

              A resounding no. The worst collateral damage happened under Poroshenko, one of the reasons why he lost against Zelenskyy.
