    Replace russian with jews and think about how your comment sounds again.

    Of course it’s not like all russians are against this war, both because of propaganda and the imperialism in the culture (though again that’s very perpetuated by propaganda). That doesn’t mean all of them support it, the numbers are also definitely not actually 80%, and even if they were 80% i can’t put into words how fucked up it is to discriminate against the other 20%, almost 30 million people, just because you perceive the majority as being bad.

      Considering the jews argument, there are reasons why I wouldn’t be next to them also cough Palestine cough. To be far I rather there were no aggressor states in the global arena, alas this is way above my pay grade.

      Discrimination against a single person is much different then to discriminate against an aggressive country, where you much rather they didn’t occupy you just to protect themselves from big spooky HATO.

        Oh I fully support discriminating against russia as a country and sanctioning them to hell. That’s very different from blaming some random russian living abroad (or even in russia) without knowing anything about their personal stance.

        Just because i wouldn’t want to live next to israel doesn’t mean I have any issues with some random jew living in my country, and frankly the entire train of thought that leads you from jews to immediately mean israel feels like the exact same bullshit as your original argument, I neither mentioned nor implied anything about the country.

          It seems we’re on the same page, except I’m retarded at communicating. My main point is that I’m against a country that is aggressive toward neighbours. Sorry about that.

          People who enable that is also at fault, but I can’t blame them being immoral or evil since they are victims of circumstance, just like the Nazis.
