Interesting you'd say that given that it's pretty well documented in western media https://archive.ph/BAxYc

@yogthos we had a revolution in 2004 after the government tried to fake elections. It was called Maidan. Right after the revolution won we had open democratic elections with international oversight. That's not a coup. Same happened in 2013, when another government tried to force us into Russia. We had hundreds of thousands of people on the streets fighting for freedom, and then democratic elections. That is NOT a coup.

Whatever you say.

@yogthos this is literally how democracies work. If the government fucks up people go to the streets.

[-] yogthos@lemmy.ml -2 points 1 year ago

No, it's literally not how democracies work.

@yogthos #democracy is within the blood of #Ukraine. We had democratically elected governments in 17th century. And we in fact have the oldest constitution in Europe. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Constitution_of_Pylyp_Orlyk

If you think Ukraine has democracy, I don't know what else to tell you. Last I checked Ukraine has been described as the most corrupt nation in Europe, the government banned opposition parties, prosecutes journalist, and has recently cancelled elections.

@yogthos well you can change a lot in 8 years, since the "last time you checked" 😂 and I KNOW Ukraine has democracy. I've seen it with my own eyes. Now we have the most advanced digital government in the world, much lower corruption (although the level of corruption is not directly related to being a democracy). But thank for the inspiration. I'll use your posts to write an article on polemic tricks.

@yogthos thanks for the inspiration, I haven't written for some time and your little "coup" trick was a great example.

[-] yogthos@lemmy.ml -1 points 1 year ago

You can't even admit that a coup is a coup and keep trying to claim that Ukraine has a democracy while accusing me of using polemic tricks. Absolutely incredible stuff on display here.

Leave it to a ruzzian propagandist to reference an almost ten year old article claiming corruption in Ukraine. Heaven forbid anyone actually put 5 seconds of effort in to find out yogshit is speaking out of his ass.

@yogthos a coup is a sudden violent change of government, often by a small group of people. In both of our revolutions we had hundreds of thousands of people in peaceful protest on the streets. In 2004 all went peacefully. In 2013 the police started shooting and the president ran away to Russia. He's still there by the way, asking us to give up to Putin. Great guy.

A democratically elected government was violently overthrown in 2014 by a small group of violent nationalists. Interesting how you spin this as some kind of a revolution.

[-] mykhaylo@fosstodon.org 0 points 1 year ago

@yogthos you call this group of people SMALL? 😂

[-] yogthos@lemmy.ml -1 points 1 year ago

Well you do clearly have disproportionate view of your self importance.

[-] mykhaylo@fosstodon.org 0 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

@yogthos and then count me into violent nationalists. Although you'll have a problem since I'm Jewish, just like our nazzi president 😂 who is a democratically elected next president, which is typical for military coups 😂

[-] yogthos@lemmy.ml -1 points 1 year ago

That's an interesting line of argument given what Jewish people are currently doing in Palestine.
