I don’t know about US affairs enough to say. If they did do terrorism, they should take accountability, if you did have the chance to make even the slightest difference. If you did your best to prevent it, you can pat yourself in the back. It doesn’t change the perception for those who are on the receiving end. I would have the same opinion if the US harassed, forced politics or use their culture as a trojan horse to win minds, in the end just oppressing. If that is the case, I have no problem if you lump them all together. You paid taxes, you funded the operation type of deal. I understand my views seem bigoted, but when you have this type of neighbor, it’s really hard to see otherwise. Especially when the country hasn’t changed the slightest, the culture in my eyes is tainted by propaganda and I am fed up with everything Russia. This is probably the last I’ll post about this, since nothing has really changed my mind. I’m just either missing something or just blinded. I will elaborate once more though; I have nothing against ethnic russians, but I messed up on that front. I don’t care what ethnicity you are, just the nationality. Maybe there is some sense in this, but that is what I think.

Russia is the only existential threat my country has. When you say you are “Russian”, I can’t seperate it if you mean nationality or ethnic background. If you lived in America, would you say you are “German” or “American”? Why not say “Ethnic german” or “German origin”. There are very few cases where someone has said they are “From russia” living here that didn’t believe kremlin. If the opposite is true, the seperation is instantly transmitted after, that they don’t trust Kremlin. Maybe I’m just retarded and can’t see the nuance here.

I have no problem with ethnic Russians. This is often tied to their nationality though, which muddies the water. The history and the fact they are the aggressors make it very difficult for me to see things otherwise. I know the individual doesn’t have the power to change things and I have no solution. You can be enraged by me for treating them “Guilty until proven innocent”, but the circumstances we are in is not good.

You are right, but they use this same argument to muddy the water time snd time again. That is why I don’t give it to them, it might make me look bad, but I can’t pretend. I don’t view a Russian that has progressive views as “Russian”.

Many downdoots so extra clarification; I am first in line to die if Russians attack. I have no sympathy for anyone that directly or indirectly supports the constant harassment on my country’s borders, jamming and going into our airspace, overwhelming our customs and posting propaganda in our forums. That is not including the terrorism in Ukraine. That original comment reads to me “It’s okay to be a gay nazi”. That is all.

I may be blackpilled but there isn’t. Russians are brainwashed by the state in my eyes. If you are a Russian that doesn’t believe the propaganda, you are not Russian, at least what it means now.

I hate the russians with passion, but I don’t think this sub is the place for geopolitics. We already know Russia wants to annihilate the LGBT+.

I’m straight male, but I still follow the stuff here since I like it and don’t want you dead…

Hey me! The band of my exitence was kwin. I have no idea why, but all of the previous issues have gone away. That is not to say I fon’t have issues, though for whatever reason xfce x11 “just works”, as if VRR was enabled. What the hell…

I guess I could ask since even in the previous post many pointed that I use Linux wrong. And here too. Maybe I’m second guessing myself, but I use terminal to update everything except flatpaks. The most things alien to me are DE configs and if I were to use X11, those too. The first issues were when I installed xwaylandbridge which made kwin spam journalctl and the other “fixes” to screen share breaking debian. After the switch to Endeavour, all of the same issues persisted, except screen share worked because of a newer c++ package (to my understanding). The only difference being that Debian had less problems overall, which is understandable since the things not working properly were from AUR.

The thing I’ve followed to the best of my knowledge was DontBreakDebian. Is there just something else that I’m not supposed to do? The issues even on Linux don’t go away by themselves, so vim and hope was required.

Now I’m too accustomed to Linux, that Windows is alien to me. While the most issues are more of a montage, each fixed one by one, I did do a “hit piece” and being smug about it.

Either wat, maybe the forest caveman route is the one for me, since technology is too much for me:'D
