There is no genocide to excuse but also the russians are doing it too sooo
Okay… last time I’m going to dumb down what I’m saying so you can understand:
My point was that since the two wars are similar, and the reasons are similar- it’s strange that you’ve all chosen only the one to be outraged about.
Pay close attention to this part:
If there’s “genocide” happening in one- and very similar events are happening in the other… Then that one HAS to be genocide also….
But it isn’t.
because IT ISN’T.
Nah we get it, it's just normal war crimes. Guess it makes it all better now. I'll tell my friends who lost their entire family that they can quit crying now, they are not genocided. They will be so relieved. Phew, they really dodged a bullet there!
If it’s true that you really lost friends there- you really should be ashamed for using them to try and win an argument online with a stranger. I’m sure their lives meant more than a “gotcha” moment.
You should delete that shit and plan to have more respect in the future. I’m sure they deserve better.
Omg you think this is about "winning an argument". How fucked do you have to be? people are dying, i dont give a shit about internet argument. Sorry it hurts your genocidal apologists feelings.
Dude, whether it’s about wining an argument- or trying to make a point, stop using your dead friends to do it. It’s incredibly disrespectful.
Okay. At this point I truly believe you’re a right-wing troll that’s here to make shit up to stir a pot.
Blocking you now, like everyone else does. Enjoy the wind tunnel you’re creating for yourself.
For starters… it’s in bad faith to use the dead as a crutch to support an argument with someone online. Especially when it cannot be proven if it’s even true. It muddies waters and distracts from the point. Which clearly has been your intention all along.
So I will say this, and then not speak any more on the subject.
If you do have friend that are victims of this war, then you shouldn’t be using them as reasons why you are right about your point and others are wrong in discussions with people that are irrelevant to you and them. It’s disrespectful.
If you DON’T have friends that were victims of this war, then you are a shameful and disgraceful person and I pity you.
