This comic is kinda old already, but still stays relevant.

    I generally react quite negatively to racism, and I’m happy to hear the instance I frequent has a reputation for doing the same. Cant imagine being proud about ignoring racism.

    You would have supported the invasion of Iraq in the 00’s. Or operation Barbarossa if you lived back then. You see calling out racist drivel as somehow being supportive of a country. Not reducing complex geopolitics down to childish notions of “they’re just evil!” is somehow the same as driving a tank into Kiev. It is with the mentality you display that we saw people take up arms in WWI under the notion that they’d be home before Christmas - after all, it was just the dastardly hun that needed a darn good thrashing.

      You’re clearly right, ml. Western counties and Russia are equally likely to commit to ground invasions.

      Saying anything else would be racist.

        Looking at the list of countries the US has invaded compared to Russia? Yes. Looking at the list of countries European member states have invaded or helped to invade? Also correct.
        Of course you were being sarcastic because you think invasions of countries with brown people don’t count.

        I mean, stack the US and Russia against one another for the last 25 years.

        Where is the lie?

        Actually it is. Hating someone based on where they come from is the most basic type of racism there is.
