    If you can’t show empathy for murdered civilians just because of their nationality, are you really any better? This was a concert hall, not a military base. Think about what you are tacitly endorsing here…

      They said struggle - not that they couldn’t. Dont just attribute such a horrible thing based on your own reading. You can have all the empathy for the Russian people but no empathy for the Russian state. After all, the Russian state is also directly responsible for the continuous cold blooded murder of Ukrainian civilians. Not like they gave much warning on February 24th 2022, or in 2014.

                    I joined this instance a long time ago back when it was one of the largest. I’ll admit that it has become more niche since the Reddit exodus. Consider being less tribalist.

                    Edit: FYI, lemmy.ml is the instance run by the core lemmy devs. If that makes it a Tankie instance, then Lemmy must be Tankie software, so I trust you’ll be deleting your account and joining a Kbin instance asap.
