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