Your opinion is not welcome on Lemmy!
Get out of here! Downvoted.

I am not against sanctioning Russia; Russia is going against international law.
But the same countries that didn‘t hesitate to sanction Russia when their ally Israel breaks international law… crickets. Makes me question their morals.
Also, thank you for having this respectful conversation with me because I am getting attacked for having a different opinion on Lemmy.
I didn‘t disrespect any commentator in the comments section.
I am critical of Russia, China, USA, EU etc etc.
Abhorrent and unforgivable but…. not sanctionable.
Russia‘s actions however are abhorrent and unforgivable and… sanctionable and we‘re willing to drive our own European citizens into endless inflation to protect a sovereign nation.
Someone who has a different opinion that mine! Immediately blocked!
My echo chamber is almost… ready!! 🤗
you including the USA is funny like USA invaded multiple sovereign countries on baseless reasons… with impunity (because of their immunity to international law).
They invaded Afghanistan to replace the Taliban… with the Taliban. They killed 1.5+ million Iraqis when they accused Iraq to have weapons of mass destruction that didn‘t exist. The american army tortured Iraqi citizens in Abu Ghraib prisons in documented ways against international law… with impunity. This is in 2000-2004. Only 2 decades ago.
And let‘s not get started with how proxies are now doing their dirty work for them. The american proxy Israel invaded sovereign nation Lebanon a couple of days ago. How much money did the USA send Israel in weapons last year alone?
Does Russia fund proxies? Sure. Does Russia claim to be the beacon of human rights? Not that I know of.
But it‘s Russia that needs to be sanctioned, banned from sporting events, be called my enemy etc and the USA runs free from bombing Libya a couple of years ago.
But Libyans, Iraqis, Afghanis and Lebanese are unfortunately not… human. They‘re muslims! Terrorists! Kill them all!
And Ukrainians are white! Sklava Ukraini!! 🇺🇦
Also. I want to inform you of an analogy. But if my friend is funding killing of other people but is actively supporting me then I‘ll question the friendship.
But people like you would say that killing other people is a distraction as long as I have a good supportive friend!
But hey, that‘s me! xD
It‘s connected. Unless you see the suffering of white people the only important thing and everything is a distraction.
We can talk about how Russia is actively killing Syrians in Syria and aiding the Assad regime. But Russia isn‘t a country to claim its position of „human rights but only for white people“ like Germany, France, USA, etc.
Ukraine doesn’t belong to the EU, is not a member of NATO. Why all this aid? The EU is sunk into one of highest inflation in its history to support a foreign nation. Ukrainian refugees are treated way better than non-white refugees in central and western Europe.
Russia is still going strong 2 years into the war… after all these western interventions that couldn’t prevent a war.
Sanctions mean nothing. Weapons mean nothing.
Victory to Russia 🇷🇺
The enemy according to who?
The western allies, western international law, UN, etc has showed us all last year that words like enemy, terrorist, ally is all relative.
Israel occupies Palestine since 1948, and the western allies support it ever since, till this very day. And they also support a genocide in Gaza, Gaza being under siege, collective punishment, arming genocidal terrorists (IDF), arming illegal settlers in the West Bank.
These same allies are supporting Ukraine. Now let‘s deduct who‘s the enemy in this formula.

Ukraine gets help from its allies: I sleep
Russia gets help from its allies: 😡😡
The cognitive dissonance of Lemmy users.
Most of these people take/haven taken part in the IDF and have been actively participating in Apartheid. These people have been actively been on check points, raided Palestinian houses and killed and kidnapped (yes, kidnapped, because some are in prison without being proven guilty of anything).
This was done by Israelis.
Israelis are actively living in houses that aren’t theirs. In houses where the owners left due to their terrorism.
“We are not our government” but you are.
Spare me the crocodile tears and the fake democracy. We all saw your true colors. Genocidal maniacs.****
A lot of people on Lemmy are just… old.
This thread made me realize this.
If this bill passes and any of you criticizes China/Russia for banning Facebook/Instagram/Twitter etc… under the name of “lack of freedom of speech”. I will be laughing. A lot.
A lot of people started their businesses on Tiktok. The Tiktok algorithm is actually way better than that of Instagram to reach your target niche. A lot content creators and marketing exes do realize this.
I don’t understand the mentality of users, of course of obviously older generation here, that realize Tiktok did in fact change a lot of people’s lives. It’s not just an app for dancing.
Let’s not forget the Tiktok Shop section.
Their CEO said that people who cannot afford a dinner should be eating cereal for dinner.
His wealth is increasing exponentially every year.
Let them eat Flakes: Kellogg’s CEO says poor families should consider ‘cereal for dinner’
A reminder to keep boycotting Kellog’s, Starbucks, McDonald’s and Nestle. :)
Antisemitism! /s
Female genital mutilation is not a part of Islam.
Male genital mutilation, however, is. (Just like Judaism)
You can see me criticizing Russia in the same comment thread; I believe that Russia is committing war crimes that I do not support but Ukraine is siding with states which are committing whatever Russia is committing with impunity
there goes my support for Ukraine
The commenter I replied to didn‘t even have a conversation with me.
Also both republicans and democrats are racist, xenophobic, sexist, genocidal maniacs. Don‘t compare me to North Americans.
