The way we jump on this particular issue and make assumptions seems off to me as well. The comparison to Russia/Ukraine is apt as Russia very much attempted genocide against Ukrainians in the past (Holodomor) and their current actions similar involve many atrocities, yet - while we have done some things in regards to sanctions etc - very little seems to come up regarding the fairly obvious spouting of Russian propaganda etc. Ditto, where's the jumping on idiots driving around with shit like Confederate flags?

I've heard excuses like "they don't really understand" or "it's complicated" for the lack of consequences, but then we have this particular phrase which seems to just be a lightning rod.

This isn't to say that that what's happening isn't terrible, but why is the reaction so much different versus other terribly things?

(And no I'm not trying to hint at some grand Jewish conspiracy or that sort of bullshit, though maybe it's politicians with their lips planted more firmly on some asses than others)
