Great response, I guess challenging your bullshit propaganda simply results in a shut down. Or, maybe, simply speaking in a colloquial western way is too challenging for Russian propagandists?

Here, I'll engage since this is basically the first time you have engaged so far.

By your logic, I guess it’s time to eradicate the Jewish population from Israel and hand it back to Palestine, and hey, why not go back even further?

That doesn't make sense, because Jews have lived in Palestine as Palestinians for centuries. It's just the racist settlers who should leave if they're unwilling to live peacefully, as equals, with Palestinians.

Americans should be forced to move back to their countries of origin and hand all lands back to native Americans.

No, there are no longer any living American settlers to be sent back. The Native Americans that still survive past the American Genocide should be compensated for the crimes against their forbears just to get started.

Where does this logic lead to?

It doesn't, you're not being logical and you're intentionally pretending to misunderstand what people are saying to protect your soft smooth brainlet from having to consider things that might have consequences for the false worldview you've had constructed for you.

Are you really advocating for wars to break out all over the world over historical deeds?

Please quote where anyone said that.

Ukraine has been independent for a very long time.

Ukraine hasn't even been independent for my entire life, what are you talking about? Do you think thirty years is a long time? Are you twelve?

Why did Russia suddenly decide it’s their territory again?

NATO encirclement, something Russia has been warning against for decades now. A CIA coup in 2014 putting literal fascists in power who murdered peaceful supporters of the independent Ukraine government. Eight years of Azov nazis targeting schools, hospitals, government buildings, and critical civilian infrastructure with artillery. Zelensky himself getting elected and telling those Azov nazis to stop doing that (they were violating the Minsk agreements) and the Azov nazis telling him to his face that they would not stop. Biden refusing any diplomatic contact with Russia in the lead up to 2022.

Is it about the territory or the supposed Nazis? Can you pro Russia propagandists make up your minds about what exactly the reason for the invasion is?

It has always been primarily about NATO and nobody here has said anything else - you're the one who thinks it's about expansionist desires. Try to distinguish your own thoughts from the actual statements of others, please.

This is the thing that gets me with lemmy libs at times. I want to dunk on them harder, but some of them are so naive and ignorant about basic facts of recent history that in the back of my mind I can't help but think I'm probably talking to an actual, literal child. Then I just feel saddened about it more than anything.

Yeah interacting with lemmitors had the same affect on me as redditors, I become more certain that there is no revolutionary potential anywhere in the West and the third world is the only real hope for a better future

No revolutionary potential to be found in hyper-online west wing watchers. But the 2020 uprisings clearly show there's still a difference between online and the real world

I'm guessing they won't post again for another few weeks
