    wants to defend my country from Russia literally attacking and trying to invade it

    “You do you mate”

    I’m in awe. This has been the best exchange I’ve had in quite some while. I’m almost too flabbergasted to laugh

          It’s alright mate, feel free to go die in a ditch so that the Finnish capitalists get to stay in power. It’s your human birthright to die for someone else’s 3rd yacht.

            Dunno about anyone’s yacht but we Finns just don’t want to be under Russian rule and would be fighting against that.

            Tbh I do prefer Finnish capitalism with democracy and freedom for us Finns to decide our own matters to being subjugated under Russian dictatorship and their oligarchic capitalism. Seems like the lesser of two weevils.

            You seem to think there’s no difference between Finnish democratic capitalists in power and Russian oligarchical capitalists in power.

              I am saying that everyone government is presenting themselves as the good guys and their geopolitical opponents as the bad guys. Y’all somehow think that this time only you’re impervious to it. Much like everyone else who in the history of humankind who got convinced to die for some king, lord or politician.

                I couldn’t care less who the party or politician actually is. I care about what happens to vulnerable people in their regimes, and what rights the people have and quality of living.

                The US is not perfect for instance, but I can say whatever I want about it and Biden and Trump on Lemmy. The same is not true for every person with every country.

                    Only a tankie would respond to “freedom of speech and self expression without government reprisal is important” with “but genocide!”.

                    There’s multiple things going on at once, and, unlike tankies, most people are capable of supporting various issues simultaneously. They can say the genocide is fucked up and needs to stop while also saying oppressive regimes (who are also conducting genocides fyi) aren’t cool.
