Were the Russians also doing chattel slavery like the west was for literally hundreds of years? Like sure conditions for serfs weren’t great, but the transatlantic slave trade, the mass genocide of the americas, the subjugation of africa, india and china built the wealth of europe. You’re trying to act like these two things are the same and they’re not
Отъебись ватник блядь.
lmao
seriously though:
The Ukrainian state has been killing civilians indiscriminately in its two breakaway regions
Where’s the lie? You guys think that’s a good thing. Link to more info
They were abhorrent. You’re really playing semantics here, conditions were essentially slave-like just as, say, Cuba under Batista.
built the wealth of europe
No. Water power did, Europe has an absurd number of suitable streams for grain mills which allowed the creation of extensive trade, merchant, and scholar classes – as they could be fed. Which led to technological superiority which led to the capacity to roll over other nations (and the presumption that it was the right thing to do). Without that pre-existing wealth all that colonising would not have been possible.

You’re accusing me of condoning or advocating genocide?
No. Water power did, Europe has an absurd number of suitable streams for grain mills allowing less the creation of extensive trade, merchant, and scholar classes.

Yes it was bad, still not as bad as chattel slavery, but pretty bad, that’s why it was completely deserved when they had a revolution. Not sure why you keep bringing up the colonization of siberia like it’s relevant to what’s going on now though. Comparing the amount of human life lost in that to the conquest of Americas though is just silly- there’s no comparison and the same American government is still around since then!
They have had several government changes since then. The US has the same constitution since it was doing its shit, the one with slavery in it. (they only do it to prisoners now though, don’t ask too many questions about why they have the highest prison population in the world)
Calling them a ‘colonial empire’ especially from the seat of the worlds largest and most brutal historical colonial empires is laughable. (1/3 of Africa has had a monetary policy run out of Paris to this day, I wonder why they’re kicking them out)
You’re accusing me of condoning or advocating genocide?
You already told me to fuck off for pointing out that parts of Ukraine have been getting shelled by its own government for over 8 years, considering that response, yes that was my conclusion.
People were calling for them to intervene immediately after the coup in 2014 and they didn’t. Doesn’t mean that wasn’t still the reason for the intervention years later.

It was definitely the slavery

This isn’t a “did the UK or Russia kill more natives” kind of discussion. This is a “Russia is a colonial empire” kind of discussion.
And yes of course fewer natives died in Siberia, it’s fucking cold there there were never many in the first place.

No. I told you to fuck off for this:
Yes, Ukraine has been shelling Russian positions in those regions for quite a while now.
Donetsk city has been routinely getting hit for years, it’s why the SMO started
and again here you are cheerleading for indiscriminately killing civilians
A resounding no. The worst collateral damage happened under Poroshenko, one of the reasons why he lost against Zelenskyy.
People were calling for them to intervene immediately after the coup in 2014 and they didn’t. Doesn’t mean that wasn’t still the reason for the intervention years later.

It was a coup though, what do you think it was?
