Look mate, all I'm saying is that Russia is saying the same things to their citizens. And Germans were saying the same things to theirs. And the Pope was saying the same things to the crusaders.
Likewise, a country is just imaginary, made by the rich to separate who can exploit the people in a specific geography. By all means, fight for it, but just know you're being played.
Russia literally attack my country, Russian soldiers are pouring over the border, I'm about to join to defend it
"You know Pope told the same thing to crusaders, besides countries are imaginary, why do you care if you live in your own country or as part of Russia under Putin. You are just being played."
Lmao, you people can't be serious, this is beyond fucking stupid
Aight mate, you do you.
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
I'm just glad you get so much excitement out of my 5 words reply.
I was talking about the whole exchange though but those five words were good too
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.
Tankie lmao. Go suck putins asshole dry
Lol imagine thinking I'm a tankie. I'm just saying that the meme applies every time.
A lot of tankie talk for a non tankie.
yeah, man, only tankies could possibly think state propaganda exists 🙄
EDIT: Lol, Why am I not surprised I'm talking to a landlord leech.
Only Tankies could even THINK to claim that a Russian invasion of crimea and now ukraine is just STATE PROPAGANDA
Youre delusional
Only a landlord-rotted brain would THINK that's what I said.
Oh, you're 12. I thought you actually had even a sliver of an argument anywhere.
Don't you have some tenants to leech from?
Now that you mentioned it, i will increase rent on all units by 30% tomorrow and go eat icecream.
Lmao you're jealous because i actually create value and you just leech off of society
Lol, the projection is unreal.
said the guy making less than 260k a year and sucking off russias oligarchy cock
You're not helping your case there, bub...
okay poor
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.
Man, US peeps should really putting themselves as the point of comparison while actively funding a genocide...
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.
Lol "tankie" has lost all meaning. Here's a hint, take a look at the instance I run
I feel dumber for having read this comment.
