They're more charitable than I am, frankly.

I am Russian and the reason I don't move back is because I'm trans and have a life here in the US that I'm not looking to uproot. I'm more inclined to do organizing where I live now and I certainly don't have the resources to move back home and start from scratch there. On top of that it wouldn't gain me anything, I would be trading one set of reactionary assholes in power for another.

If life is bleak I'm going to do mutual aid and try to find like minded people to survive with, not run away.

Why don’t you live in China or Russia if life is so bleak in the western countries?

"if you don't like it, leave" was the sentiment, I pointed out how you sound. It sounds like something I would expect from an american chud- hence posting a shirt I thought you'd like.

The australian running that comm has such a predictable worldview

'left right terminology doesn't have a place' - sounds like they prefer the third position.

They're a zionist, but in the mealymouthed 'two state solution' vein, probably due to their shared experience as a colonial occupier.

for whatever reason they do show up in the modlog in the op

I had to do a double take reading that comment too, because while davel is an admin, the post did say "moderator"

I actually did the exact same thing, the bait posts are just too fun

lmao this sort of thing is probably why people accuse us of all posting on the same schedule, clearly we just clocked in at the Kremlin

immediately massacred opposition in Odessa,

This didn’t happen though.

dozens of people died and nobody was prosecuted, doesn't mean it didn't happen.

removed Russian language rights

This also didn’t happen.

this feels like you're gaslighting, they made Ukrainian mandatory to use in public life, the only exceptions given were for EU languages and English. Russian, Belarusian and Yiddish did not get those exceptions.

I came across one of them saying I was a degenerate roach in another thread there:

Rereading the comment thread is textbook dogwhistling->gaslighting.

Can you point to some examples?

I just hope they meet people from China or Russia irl some day, and can learn some empathy towards them. I know I've learned a lot from my Chinese and Russian friends.

skeleton-wave

I'm from Russia, been living in the US pretty much all my life though. Got to have a front row seat for all the jingoistic warmongering in my time here.
