I'm just basing this on what I see all over hexbear and lemmygrad in particular. I have, in fact, gotten a ban for "genocide denial" on hexbear for suggesting that Russia is perpetuating genocide against the Ukrainian people. The absolute irony.
I wouldn't call those people lefties. That's more like some twisted tankie ideology, based on some absurd notion that Russia is still communist.
Russia has done some truly horrific acts to the people of Ukraine, but isn’t being classified as genocide by human rights groups.
Isn’t the kidnapping of Ukraines children count as a cultural genocide or something?
Certainly a war crime.
