Can we please stop with sympathy for those "poor Russian conscripts."

The bodies of more than 1,000 civilians have been recovered in areas north of Kyiv that were occupied by Russian forces, the United Nations human rights chief, Michelle Bachelet, said on Thursday. They included several hundred who were summarily executed and others who were shot by snipers.

This seems a lot like collective judgement. And beyond that, it kinda does let the Russian gov't off easy, doesn't it? Because if we pretend all the people they forced at gunpoint were just bad people to begin with, that kinda absolves the Russian crown of responsibility for the incredibly bad system of violence that they knowingly created. And it kinda lets them off the hook for threatening to kill all these 18 year olds; after all, every single individual in their ranks is a genocidal maniac anyway who deserves to die.

@BlueVeins Thanks, but I pretty much blame them all and hope they die miserable sad deaths alone, afraid, and in mind numbing agony, staring at their own intestines, screaming for their mothers.

But, I’m sure there are a few who at least tried to stop the rape and torture. They can live unless they hurt a Ukranian. If so, please see above. 💀
