    I’m sorry, I’ll be more sensitive to people who parrot the same narratives that genocidal states in the process of committing genocide do in the future. Especially considering your assertion that Ukraine isn’t a democratic state ‘in any sense of the word’, which is definitely rooted in reality and totally not a line pushed by Russian propaganda.

    Maybe next time I find an Israel supporter who insists on the ‘complexity’ of the ongoing Gaza genocide I’ll give them an asspat and a kiss on the cheek instead of my usual “What the fuck is wrong with you?”

      I did not interpret my original comments as genocidal rhetoric, but seeing as how they have been interpreted, I now realize that they contain an element analogous to that of “the conflict in Gaza is too complex”. I am sorry for causing this pointless argument and will be more careful with the implications of concise opinions from now on.

        I tend to be aggressive because I find a lot of people playing apologist for Russia, often utilizing doublespeak and changing the tack of their argument when confronted, only to return to it later when the examination is less thorough, not only on here but also in person.

        I apologize that I was too quick to assume motives in this case.

          So I missed y’all’s argument, but I really appreciate how you both realized that you’d made thoughtless posts, apologized, and removed them.

          It’s a rare thing to see online.

        I just wanted to say ‘well done’ for going over what you said, realizing how it could be interpreted adversely, and admitting it. Not enough people are willing to do that, so well done!
