Yeah that was my point… Nobody is blaming the victims but you’re saying they shouldn’t have a voice in their own government.
Why don’t you spend all this energy you’re putting into ignorant takes into criticizing the actual problem and aggressors here - Russia
Because I have a compulsion to correct misinformation and reply back to people who are spreading it. I have criticized Russia many times but people here agree and don’t need to hear that.
In fact I did state that I think a Russian government would be worse but since no one contested that there was simply no need to discuss it further. What else is there to say? Putin bad. Kremlin bad. Russian Imperialism bad. That’s all. I’m not going to get 100 nationalistic, authoritarian fools jumping down my throat about this statement so there won’t be any need to say more.
As we can see, not holding elections is also creating propaganda for Russia and its defenders.
This, this right here puts the blame on Ukraine for the propaganda that Russia is creating. Blaming the victims is exactly what you are doing.
Do you frequently have trouble reading and understanding the context of statements? I am literally saying the same thing you said above which I don’t think constitutes victim blaming but if it does then so are you so… please reread and understand before making derogatory statements next time. Or just ask clarifying questions like a normal, respectful person.
My entire point is Russia makes up propaganda either way, so Ukraine should not fear this issue. It was the other poster who said Ukraine should not hold elections because it would fuel Russian propaganda. Did you accuse them of victim blaming and if not, why not?
