View submission: Ukrainian thoughts on Azov
There is a concept where 10% of far left and far right will not change their ideologies, and 80% of people will swing a bit on a meter. So your right not all Mexicans are drug cartels, not all Muslims are terrorist. You made strong points to the LGBQ/BLM movements The media like to “make things catastrophic” as it means more drama. Drama sells and this is why there is literally a genre of movies called “ drama.”
Even the Russian representative to the UN stated whomever wins the information war will win the war. This is why you see the cherry picking of information that is the most extreme. As I write this I have sky news in the back ground and a reporter said “there are things happening that make you want to grab the public by the neck and make them watch you.”
So in short my opinion is more of what you brought up about catch phrases “ Trump supporter on the right” “socialist/communist if it’s on the left “ all because one person said it in some stupid fashion. I vote: republican / democrat/ libertarian based on the agendas being supported. So it cracks me when I’m called a……. Which leads me to your other point is having left and right in the office at certain times. This is best case scenario as it keeps those 80% more or less balanced as the pendulum swings. Leaving you with legislation in the middle ground.
I feel the biggest issue is, Azov has a bad history, so does Germany. At what point is it that people recognize the changes made and things are no longer that way? But while flare words keep arising it’s going to keep happening. Thankfully the biggest flare word flying around right now is “glory to Ukraine” but it has united most the world, the only people it pisses off are the Russians stuck in their old ways. If you look “most” those getting arrested are young and their elderly are the largest section of the Russian population based on a negative growth rate. It shows not all Russians are bad, but right now it seems all Russians are getting shit on.
I would prefer we figure out a way to get it spread across Russia that if you turn yourself over to Ukraine you will be treated fairly and don’t need to die for $300-600 as a conscript/ enlisted. Then those that don’t want to take part can go awol into safety rather than resorting to self harm.
There's nothing here!
