This reads like an ironic shitpost. No one can seriously believe that one person saying mean things can rationalize an invasion that's killing thousands and hurtsling food security for millions.
Tbf "Asians are subhuman" is what the nazis used to justify killing millions of Russians, Ukrainians, and other USSR ethnicities. Millions of ukrainian red army soldiers are rolling in their graves.
I can't find one source for this that doesn't come back to elrisala.
Even if this story is true, one asshole doesn't justify the genocide that Russia is committing in Ukraine.
Even if this story is true, it happened long after Russia started their "special military operation" and can't be used to justify it.
I can point you towards many racist political figures throughout history who weren't fascist. Racist is not the same as fascist. Sure, fascism usually requires creating an in group and an out group, but it's also a lot more than that and needs to be larger than one person. Even if this person is a fascist, it still doesn't even mean anything. He doesn't have the political power to do anything fascist with.
Yeah. All those damned Jewish Nazis in charge over there.
If you were any dumber, you'd be a doorstop.
You can't actually be this detached from reality...
🤡
Try harder.
Where do you people come from
I'm ready for that to happen. It's getting old already.
While true, at which point does defederating make sense? Been wondering this myself. Reality is full of bad actors so we should be capable of countering these threats without purely relying on censorship. OTOH that takes time and energy best spend elsewhere.
