Well hopefully not 馃槄

@SW-User I blame Putin for Russia's woes. No-one else

@SW-User Most Russians are vile and Putin is just one tiny man
SW-User
@SW-User The point to why I don't want Russia to recover is because I want Russia to fall apart, not to punish random people within Russia lol.

@SW-User Vile? That's quite the strong word for an entire population. Please elaborate.

@RageAgainstTheMachine Why don't you come to Ukraine and see what unnecessary disgusting shit they do to people yourself, why should I elaborate for you?

@SW-User have you even been to Russia or talked to the people?

Since you blocked me coward, the whole anti-Russian sentiment is just prejudice. That鈥檚 like hating North Koreans because they live in a dictatorship. They鈥檙e innocent people who were unlucky enough to be born into a terrible country.

@MorbidCynic I have not been to Russia, I have talked with plenty Russian people, and apparently you guys are not aware what they do here in Ukraine. I think it's soo misguided to act like Russians are somehow victims in all this. I'm going to block you because I know you and you literally do nothing but cause arguments everywhere you go. It's my mistake that I didn't block on this profile already, which is my alt. My main profile is called Fable, and I have you blocked there for good reasons.

@RageAgainstTheMachine You know, I say most, but for example when my partner plays poker he sometimes see Russians using Ukraine's code of arms profile picture, it's obvious that there are some Russian people who do care. But how many? Not enough.

@RageAgainstTheMachine Russians have targeted and bombed many Ukrainian maternity hospitals and kindergartens, they raped many Ukrainian children as young as 4 years old within Ukraine, cut the genetalia off the Ukrainian unarmed men they murdered, all needlessly.

There were still many Russians living Ukraine in the start of the war, who would say things like: "That happens in war" when mentioning the rape of children et cetera. Like it's some normal thing. And why the obsession with cutting off male genetalia?

I'm not trying to start a discussion, I don't even really wanna discuss this, but I had a few drinks and can't help telling you, because it seems like people who think of Russians as equal victims of this war just have no idea about what Russians are typically like. Western media tries to portray Russians in a better light because they still trade with Russia in despite of the sanctions (as Russia predicted they would).

Russia has kidnapped more than 307,400 Ukrainian children from their mothers' arms since June 2022. No one knows what has happened to them yet.

@SW-User Drinks and politics. Terrible combination.
SW-User
@RageAgainstTheMachine I am in no way talking about politics, and I'm obviously perfectly capable of reasoning. I don't know how you came to such a ridiculous conclusion from everything I wrote. Perhaps to you it's politics, but it's very personal to me, and if you chose to not believe people who actually live in the country you are talking about, then you don't really want to know. Then you just want to believe in some made-up agenda.

@SW-User You are making vast assumptions. I did not reply to your comment because you requested it. You cannot tell me my point of view when you have told me to be silent.
SW-User
@RageAgainstTheMachine I did not request any such thing, and you did reply to my comment. One would think you're the one who's been drinking tonight. 馃槅

You said: "Drinks and politics. Terrible combination" so it didn't sound to me as if you listened to anything I said. Need I elaborate on that too?

@SW-User Not particularly. This is no longer a conversation. You have become flippant and sarcastic. I have no time for that.
SW-User
@RageAgainstTheMachine I was trying to lighten the mood lol.

@RageAgainstTheMachine I feel like I should one day make a video for all you people who think in these ways here on Similar World, interviewing refugees. You would have a much better understanding of both the situation and mentality, if you could only experience it for yourselves. I am trying to be nice while writing all these replies, and sarcasm is a very typical humor in both Ukraine and Russia, so the fact that you react to it this way to it tells me that you really have no clue about the Russian mentality. Of course you can reply or not reply, what I said was that I don't want to discuss a mentality that I know, which you don't know, with you. Surely you understand why that seems pointless to me? But you can choose to believe what I've already told you, or to brush it under the rug and instead listen to other people who knows as little as yourself about this. I can easily tell from your reaction that you're neither Russian or Ukrainian.
