MODERATORS
I suppose Russia's invasion is definitely imperialism, but I don't see anyone saying both sides are at fault.
Some of the nuttier members of the ML communities are definitely saying it.
On the crosspost I'm seeing a single Feddit user saying it.
Which is in line with Feddit.org which supports Israel.
supporting Israel is a sign that the platform has been taken over by Hasbara bots.
There's a surprising amount of Hasbara bots in this thread already.
Russia claims that their invasion is justified because ukraine supposedly massacred Russians… Ukranians who are russian according to russia…
If you were to take the middle rode somehow for some reason you would decry both sides as in the wrong
Then you don‘t consume enough right wing media
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.
Good thing Hitler just wanted to annex the Sudetenland and not colonize it, he would have been a pretty bad guy otherwise
No Hitler did settler colonialism. In Europe. He threw the natives in ovens and stole their house.
That's why Hitler is regarded as the ultimate evil. He did settler colonialism against white people.
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
Lmao oh boy
Feel free to check with different sources if you want, but yes they ARE trying to colonize Ukraine.

Moscow Plans to Colonize Occupied Ukraine With 5 Million People
I suggest looking up the difference between conquering and colonizing. Russia is trying to annex Ukraine into Russia, not make it a client state.
And then look up what settler colonialism is. Because if it was that, then those Ukrainians wouldn't be in occupied territory anymore.
What a stupid fucking hill to die on.
Hey, nobody gives a shit! They're both bad and the comic is also about Russia
