Please re-read my opening sentence before responding. I’m clearly talking about the ‘your shithole’ part. I don’t care if someone insults fascists. But it’s racist to call a place “shithole”, especially if the poster is from a ‘first world country’.
I never said the original poster made a general statement about the people, just the country being called a shithole, you came in and added the “can’t call neo-nazi’s trash anymore”, a ridiculous statement I never made. In the context of my response being about how he refers to the country of Ukraine, how can your sarcastic complaint about me not be seen as referring to the the people? That’s why I said not every Ukrainian is a Nazi.
My comment was pretty particular about the “your shithole” part. I don’t care what negative thing he calls Banderites, and you’ll see from my previous comments elsewhere in this thread I have no love for those who adore him.
Also I find it ridiculous you all are very happy to point to problematic groups in one country, yet systematically ignore it in another. Double standards like this is why I have difficulties not seeing the bias at play in these discussions.
America is a shithole, too, if you were wondering.
I agree it has its problems, but I’m not an American so it’s easier to not get deluded by what they call “the American dream”. Helps that even in my English classes growing up we dealt with topics such as the rampant poverty issues Americans face, and how many children live in poverty in the US. Though context matters; America is currently not being invaded. If it was a minor country on the world stage I would also not call it a “shithole”. Same reason I can detect issues in certain African countries without ever calling them by that name, like one of their presidents did.
If you are from America, calling a country that’s been suffering your world hegemony for so long a ‘shithole’, I can only say you are part of the reason that’s the situation, and so you have no rights to call any country a shithole.
“You can’t call our neo-Nazis trash and our state that celebrates Nazi collaborators a shithole! That’s, uh, uh, that’s racist!”
Not every Ukrainian is a Nazi. But sure, let your hate cloud your sense of decency, if that makes you feel better. I’m sure the mothers I’ve spoken to will be happy their children died because they were Nazis, besides I’m sure their elderly people just had it coming… /s
Unlike you I don’t see them as “acceptable collateral”.
Yeah anyone supporting Banderas really needs to pick up a book that goes through what he did in his life. Whatever good someone might think he did, has been destroyed by his abhorrent actions. I don’t applaud Hitler either for his progressive (at the time) animal rights… He’s a shit person, and deserved worse.
Lol, no. Also what the fuck is this “shit people olympics” ranking you got going on?
Damn, I thought your rules preclude you from making such a racist remark against a nationality. You can go join Trump with calling places “shitholes”.
I find this weird support for Russia fascinating. They are clearly not free from nationalists and extremists sentiments themselves. Their own state media is calling for pre-emptive nuking of cities, Ireland being an acceptable collateral when nuking the UK, and their own former prime minister Medveded is yelling on twitter about achieving “Greater Russia”. Here’s someone who was awarded “Hero of the Russian Federation” by Putin himself.. It’s almost as if Russia doesn’t actually care, and they are just using it for their propaganda.
Also lol, they’re saying they’re not going to execute them because they aren’t barbarians and giving them time to retreat, and then you take offense to that? That’s such an odd stance. I personally applaud when someone says they want to avoid unnecesairy deaths, but you do you.
I agree with that, she clearly isn’t, as her pronouns clearly indicate. I’ve made that pretty clear in my first comment as well, I guess you missed it. That’s not what I’m talking about however.
My comment is about using “fucking dudes” as a negative example, I’d have preferred if a different example would be used rather than scaring the straight (I assume he is) their possible internal homophobia to realise dude is a gendered term. As there is nothing wrong with fucking a dude, he could be fully okay with that, and that would be fine.
As the poster’s pronouns are close to her heart, my sexuality is also close to mine, and fighting negative connotations surrounding that is something I can’t stop doing, I do hope you see that.
Ah exactly the type of game we’re all waiting for, now my data can partially live on another server somewhere else instead of just the dev’s servers, revolutionairy /s
I didn’t disagree with that, in fact I agree with her response in that regard as I’ve written.
If that specific argument came from anyone but a hexbear user I would’ve thought some pretty unkind things about the person on the other end, as of now I just think it’s an accidental comment that wasn’t intended, but I can’t not point it out as it’s the exact language that would be used to scare the gays back into the closet when I was in school. “Oh you better not do that, you might look gay”, one I’m all too familiar with.
There were plenty of other analogies that didn’t involve gay, or fucking men as an apparent negative thing
No, it wouldn’t be a problem if he said he fucked dudes.
I know it wouldn’t be, but making the argument that “you don’t want to accidentally sound like you’re gay” is not the counter argument you might think it is, which is why I was asking her about her intent with that.
“DO YOU FUCK DUDES? AnomalousBit?”
Do you go around telling other people that you fuck dudes?
Would it be a problem if he went around and said he fucked dudes?
I’m confused, are you using gays as an insult here? That’s messed up if so, so I hope that’s not what you meant.
I do agree on your comment about the usage of wrong pronouns though, you shouldn’t have had that happen.
Alrighty, before you make assumptions as you tend to do, I’ll say Banderas is a despicable person. But let’s talk about monuments to him.
You know the stele to Banderas in Lviv was constructed in 2007 right? If you are talking about another one, go ahead and link it. 2007 is long before this “western coup” happened (and it started construction in like 2004?). Why did Yanukovych allow this? Why did Putin protect Yanukovych afterwards, he decreed Banderas a “hero”. Sounds like harboring a Nazi to me.
But even then, let’s say what you say is right, does that mean all Ukrainians are Nazis because one government build a monument? Does that mean the average person deserves to be bombed by Russia? Does it make right the broken families I’ve had the displeasure of interacting with who have lost their children to missiles fired by Russia?
Is this your justification to call Ukrainians you don’t know “Nazi by default”? Damn, I guess all Americans must be filthy colonizers, genociders and racists, because I’m fairly sure some monuments have gone up in recent years endorsing people who were busy genociding the Native population. Does this mean you are a racist by default as well as you are American?? Damn…
I’ll make clear that argument is made with large sarcasm undertones, it’s a ridiculous notion but it’s one you’re currently employing when referring to my Ukrainian friends as “swastika forehead tattoos”. That’s why I keep telling you, you are justifying hate of an entire nation of people because you want to hate them. So far I’ve refrained from even talking about Russia’s warts (aside from the obvious lgbtqia+ one).
But here you can see a list of monuments to him. Fairly strange that after the “Western coup” barely any were constructed anymore, 3 if my count is correct. I’d urge you not to count the ones under Yanukovych, the one removed by the “western coup”. It’s a depressingly larger number. You’d imagine they’d double down on the nazi element after Yanukovych. Or maybe your media isn’t as free from propaganda as you had thought either. Maybe you’re consuming another authoritarian/imperialist’s propaganda on the matter.
But don’t let facts get in the way of your hate.
Talking about Nazis in this war, you know Wagner was made by a Nazi? Yeah that one Putin loved so much till recent history. Dmitry Utkin, stellar guy, has SS tattoo’s and a photo with Putin, he got awarded “hero of the russian federation” lol! Guess he doesn’t care about Russian Nazis all that much, weird. I know it’s not as dramatic as forehead swastika’s, but it’s pretty damn close tbh. This is the same private military company taking over mines in Africa, and being sent to assassinate a Jewish person by Russia.
That’s all ignoring that Russian itself has a very long troubled history with Neo-Nazism. They fund the actual Nazi’s in my country lol. That’s a really strange way of denazifying places, by magnifying their voice in politics! If this is the “critical support” you are willing to offer them, I have some bad news, you are critically supporting a country supporting Nazis in Europe.
Why would I need to answer, you already know them all silly goose :3
Your assumptions are divined correctly, as you willed them to be the explanation! Didn’t you know that’s how it worked? You are the main character after all.
You willing random strangers you don’t know to be Nazi’s is totally not a a bad reflection on you, nope, that’s not possible. You can rest assured you just called strangers you don’t know Nazi’s, and your hate for them is therefore justified. Now rest at ease warrior of divination, your war is victorious.
Now I will go onwards and try to keep hidden my true feelings for Roma people, which is sooo much harder now that you’ve proven it to be a lie :(
Damn you American Hero, I was no match for you and your powers of willing answers into existence! And also willing your hatred to people you don’t know in existence, but hey, what’s a few accidental causalities of war for an American right? :D
I’m not German. Such transparency I just radiate lol. I can narrow it down, I know a couple of western european languages (not German though), one northern one, and 2 central/eastern ones. So that at least excludes southern Europe, or does it? I’m sure my transparency will help you. With your geopolitical knowledge you could figure it out.
You are the epitome of “I’m American, I’m always right”. So ignorant, so predictable.
I throw some money their way sometimes, my many numerous friends
More than your shitposting online clearly.
You called my Ukrainian friends head tattooed swastika nazis, you don’t know them, or their history, only a racist would say such a thing about people they don’t know. You give plenty words in favour of the proletariat but online you immediately refer to Ukrainians as Nazis, you need help. I can be happy in my knowledge I haven’t said a bad thing about Russian people at all in this comment thread (and I know why, because I don’t hate them). You however have a problem. A false sense of superiority problem. You don’t see people, you see things you can hate.
You (almost certainly) believe that Russia should be exterminated
More baseless accusations, I’ll laugh about it next week when I go party with my Russian friends. They’ll be extremely joyed to hear I have secretly hated them the past decade.
and guessed about your beliefs
Dude you told me I’m a Roma hater, what a fucking guess, I literally donate to them, I interact with them especially whenever I travel through Central & Eastern Europe. My boyfriend’s grandma even housed them, ffs. Get the fuck out of here with your small-minded hatred hidden behind “I’m just guessing”.
You aren’t going to try to weasel your way and act “oh I’m just trying to understand you”, you haven’t done that in this entire comment thread, you’re delusional if you think that act would work now.
If I’m mistaken, please enlighten me!
Fuck that noise I told you my stance in my first response to you and you went “hur hur Marxist party must be kkk”, go be a better person first, it’s not my job to make you one.
Refreshing, more deflection. You called me a Roma hater and a fascist sympathiser. Your questions are useless, so are your opinions, there’s no point in having a discussion with you, you’re only here to spew more hate.
You would only further respond with useless and baseless accusations. It’s sad the only way you can argue is by calling other people things.
Which Ukrainian friends? The ones with swastikas tattooed to their foreheads?
Yeah sure, I’m a gay man with Nazis as friends. You are delusional
You project your hate onto me, you have already made up that I must hate Roma, if only you knew me and what I do. Not that it matters, you would find something else to hate me for that you make up.
You’re like a shit cop making stuff up just to justify your hate. I hope you are as you are to everyone around you and they treat you exactly the same back.
Your assumption that Ukraine is an independent country
My Ukrainian friends disagree and I’ll have to defer to their judgement seeing they live there.
Your idea of “independent” is also a country subjugated to Russia. What an improvement! Not withstanding that Putin’s own war declaration speech denied the existence of a Ukrainian cultural identity, calling them all Russians. You are literally supporting someone who consider an entire culture as lesser not worthy of existence. Wow, such great ideals you hold!
deserves our critical support, even if they are not angels
Right, so you do support Russia. I’ll never support anyone supporting Russia, while people in my queer community have been dying and persecuted for years there.
You delude yourself into thinking Russia is “fighting your fight”, all I see in your argument is one boot replacing the other. If only you could live under the yoke of Russia to see what kind of nightmare you’d be living under.
the Iraq War alone is and was a far greater crime than anything … Putin could dream of
You delude yourself “one greater evil justifies another unrelated evil”, that’s a really messed up moral compass. Do you also support Israel’s actions then because what happened to them in ww2? What evils are allowed to happen, and which ones aren’t in your strange moral compass.
Dude I literally called out western imperialism in Africa…
And yeah right now I’m not calling out the US because it’s a topic about Ukraine defending itself against Russia. If this was Afghanistan or Iraq I wouldn’t be whining about Russia either, but about the US. Context matters…
But funny you didn’t deny supporting Putin in this imperialist war of his.
As you would say: “Only complaining about the US = supporting Russia”
See how dumb that is as an argument?
Because half-assing the implementation is the way to go
Let’s deliver a broken version of accessibility in 10 minutes, that’s much better.
No, simply adding “colour filters” isn’t a fix either, and if that was the fix then a game wouldn’t even need to do that, there are plenty of apps that can already do that, a game doesn’t need to do anything for that (similar to how your screen warmth can change when it becomes night), reshade as an example of something that can do just that.
But thinking about the problem is ofcourse too hard, it’s easier to whine about it and act like you know how simple it is. But when we implement accessibly we do think about it, because people with accessibility issues deserve to get something that actually helps rather than the “10 minute solution”
