edit: the thread was DMed to me and I’m reading it. This is embarrassing.
edit 2: they admit they were wrong in post comments. they should not be bullied now but their discomfort with the civil war is not a reason to not talk about ukraine or the fash government.
it was like 130 upvotes. i saw the slavs are poc comment in the thread and as a czech i find that shit so hilarious. i look like some sort of poster girl for the ideal white tradwife and you think im being racially discriminated against cause my last name is vaguely slavic? get a grip
like eastern europe as a whole has been fucked over historically with some racial shit added on top, but it was always about the economics with racism tagged on. a slav in america that speaks fluent english will be under everyones radar, even more so if you just change your last name
i saw the slavs are poc comment in the thread and as a czech i find that shit so hilarious
the person who commented that was either a troll or an idiot, but either way that take was racist. slavs are crackers in America. At most I get vodka and communism jokes when I’m in the US and I have an accent.
I just rage posted in there for a half hour and I’m done. Fucking disgusting.
I made a comment that it must have been a bit, but after reading the supportive comments in the thread, I deleted because I didn't want to deal with it. Maybe I shouldn't have.
The post literally ends with
Edit: I’m sorry for not including I’m not living in Ukraine but my family came to the US as refugees.
I am so confused by your comment. What are you even trying to say? Who are you referring to?
If you're talking about the OP of that thread, they deserve the shit that they got. An American pretending to be someone from a foreign country to elevate their opinion is not okay.
If you're talking about the Ukrainians, literally no one is wishing ill on the common people of the Ukraine. The ill-will is completely directed at the Nazis that couped the Ukraine in 2014 and persecuted and oppress minorities in the country. It's completely okay to be cruel to Nazis. They would do 10,000x worse to you if they could.
It is hard for patience because my country is being attacked by America and every other website is cheering on neonazis with American guns firing American bullets at Ukrainian people.
I will disengage now because this post is about trans rights and not Ukraine. Civility politics is privilege.
Bluntly, we aren't nearly important enough for someone to come here and post propaganda. The fact that you immediately see them as an enemy is a problem, and it underscores a tendency to look for enemies that I find deeply distasteful in others and even more so when I start to see it in myself.
I'm sorry you feel that way. But I'm not projecting. I'm seeing my own misbehavior reflected back at me. It sucks and it hurts, but I'd rather be able to see it for what it is than remain blind to the way we are influenced by the people around us.
I'll leave you alone, now. You have the right to disengage. I'm sorry if I didn't initially respect that.

It’s good the mods didn’t respond.

They were much nicer than I just was in that thread.
I made a comment that it must have been a bit, but after reading the supportive comments in the thread, I deleted because I didn't want to deal with it. Maybe I shouldn't have.
The post literally ends with
Like how is that not a bit?
Funny, this particular string of comments is reminding me of why I stopped posting.
What upsets you? Someone actually from a country not wanting a third generation American to speak for them?
What upsets me is that no one here seems to understand that your cruelty begets cruelty and that you are fundamentally indecent to one another.
Indecent to whom, Nazis?
Being cruel to whom, Nazis?

Is it? Well, I suppose that shouldn't entirely surprise me.

Then you teach them. You make them better, not worse.

No, I'm not. I have no power over you or right to expect anything from you.
But I'm not going to pretend that I'm not still disappointed by having to look in the mirror and see a bit of that same unkindness in myself.

Who even are you? How can you have expectations for a complete stranger?
:so-true:
If I use big words like photosynthesis, I will seem smart and thus automatically correct!
I'm not going to engage with an obvious troll on a throwaway account. Go get your jollies elsewhere.
Lol ok
I have basic empathy for Ukrainians affected by the conflict in Ukraine (much more in fact), if that is what you mean.
The rest of your comment turns into a poem and I don’t understand it, sorry.

Yeah exactly just pure callousness
