Aaaaand there it is.
They come here with their nonsnense equalizing a regular war to a genocide going on right now, the comic doesn't even make sense in the situation of Ukraine, it's about settler colonialism, something Russia doesn't do
Edit: this is like coming under a post about the holocaust and talking about "this is just like the white genocide in south africa"
How on Earth is it not settler colonialism when Russia engages in a prolonged campaign of trying to russify the Ukranian language, heavily propogandizing those in border regions to either get them to apply for, or either grant them Russian passports/citizenship, then they claim the rightful borders have moved, then invade and capture those border areas (and others), and then emgage in ethnic cleansing within those border areas?
Please, explain to me how that isn't settler colonialism, just with a few initial, semi-novel/semi-uncommon extra steps?
you don't know what is settler colonialism and you don't know what is reality, gtfo don't compare Palestine to Ukraine
Would you care to explain anything, or do you just want to have a hissy fit?
You don't read books or theory about colonialism, you don't look at the news or the current event, you give vibe based "analysis" of the situation, and you want me to explain the entirety of colonialism from beginning to end just because your lazy ass won't read Frantz Fanon.
Yep, Russia stole third of Ukraine and tries to pretend it's a part of their country not because they're doing colonialism, but because... um... nothing I guess, it's not happening actually. All the Ukranians just deciding to die of natural causes there.
you genuinely don't know what colonialism is
