Re: gay teenagers tortured and made to come out on video as paedophiles

Well, I'm not anon, so I can't really speak for them. All I was pointing out before is that their comments did not sound racist. I did not interpret them that way.

In fact, it's the same thing I hear from some antisemites

I side-eye you comparing this discussion to antisemitism. Nobody here is persecuting Russians ffs. And antisemites don't go around criticizing the government or culture of the nation of Jewishness (because there isn't one), they actively hate people just because they are Jewish and for no other reason.

I'm shocked to hear the same tone coming from a Jewish person.

Did I miss something? What Jewish person? Did anon say they were Jewish?

Americans should really get off their high horse and sort the mess on their own backyard before comparing themselves to a dictatorship with no freedom of speech and declaring themselves culturally superior to it.

You do know it's possible to care about more than one thing at a time, right? Also, this American will be the first to tell you our culture is FAR from perfect. This is really not about playing the "who is better" game. It's about taking a stand against a specific atrocity: a disgusting human rights violation that is taking place in a country that happens to be Russia, and the tacit/active (I'm not sure to what degree it is either) support of the government in said violation.

So if you're trying to turn this into an argument about racism and national superiority or lack thereof...you're really missing the point, I think.

I compared it to antisemitism because antisemitism hits close to home for me. And yes, many antisemites believe that Jewishness is a nation and all Jews collectively approve of every bad thing that happens in Israel. Anon did say that their family is Jewish. They also frequently compared Russia to America in the way that made it sound that they consider American culture to be better and immune to propaganda.

My problem isn't with you or with the Americans, but with that anon, who acts like they're an expert on Russia, despite lacking knowledge about the most basic facts about the country and damning the whole nation and its culture for something that America is also guilty of.

Wait, isn't this the anon who said their whole family is from Russia? Are you seriously saying they know nothing about it?

I think I will take their perspective over that of someone who doesn't have any kind of personal connection to the country.
