If they're deeply empathetic people, then why do so many of them support the Ukraine invasion and want them to roll over and give their country away to Putin?
They have empathy for people outside the usa empire. Its not something a western supremacist like you would understand. Did you, for example, know that the people outside the usa empire are real humans? Because when I was a liberal, I didn't.
This is not what "so many of them support" and I know you cannot source a popular post to prove otherwise because it doesn't exist.
Hexbear oppose Putin, they just also recognise Ukraine and NATO also behave very shittily, sometimes moreso. There's a recognition that the west have gleefully egged on this war at the expense of innocent Ukrainian/DPR/LPR/Russian civilian lives.
I am not joking when I say that I have seen evidence of the Ukrainian government wanting to destroy the Russian Federation than I have seen evidence of the Kremlin wanting to destroy Ukraine.
Wholesome "every single motherfucking one of you should fucking die in a meat grinder because I'm very upset at what Rachael Maddow told me in 2016" moment
Here's an idea! If you have so much empathy for them, take their place! Spare someone kidnapped off the street against their will the horrible death you want them to suffer on your behalf! You're the one braying for blood, you go spill it.
This is covered in another thread on this post if you actually want to know. I suspect you don't, and just want to post gotcha arguments in bad faith.
Pretty much sums up all of hexbear here.
I did come across someone's explanation that they think Putin isn't a bad guy just because he invaded Ukraine but that argument doesn't really hold any water with me. I suppose the last hexbear users that i interacted with who wished death upon me for once again pointing out their lies and disinformation were also extremely empathetic? They've been defederated from most of lemmy because they're super empathetic people too? Do you think people actually believe this stuff?
the least propagnadized lemm.ee lib has logged on everybody
Because Ukraine isn't part of the first world, they do still want unlimited genocide against the second and third world.
