@Aldo2 I'm not quite sure exactly what you're talking about but I glean that you understand Putin is murdering countless people just so that he can get his dick wet basically, because he feels like his dick's not getting wet enough and he wants his dick to get more wet, so he's going to murder as many people as it takes and I think that's pretty fucked up, so good for you for seeing that too. I can't stand all the former freedom speechers, right-wingers, alt-right-y people sucking Putin's dick now, when when I was in the alt-right we fucking hateed Communists, we fucking hated Russia, etc, it's a shame to see what the fuck has happened ever since q fags have sucked off the q dick
To add to this, I don't think Putin is that bad.
I'm pro-Uke simply because I am an actual nationalist instead of the pretend hipster nationalists on the internet, but I think this is a screwup not a career-ender.
The other options in Russia are probably worse, and Putin has kept stability for some time, absent the little Ukraine hiccup.
In terms of history, ten million people getting snuffed is a really big deal for a decade then becomes a footnote.
The challenge to nationalism is having a positive goal. The variant that arose during the Napoleonic era was in response to liberalism rising and international political drama, but codified a feeling that was innate to people for millennia that is mentioned in older literature.
As far as nationalism goes, it was always ethnic, at least in the arts and philosophy as well as early politics.
The Napoleons liberalized that into nation-state patriotism, and Hitler tried to dial it back to ethnic-nationalism, where Murkan neo-Nazis tried to make it into racial nationalism.
Not really. Nationalism has its roots in tribe identity and is ancient.
Hitler attempted to make a modern state out of an ancient idea, and not surprisingly failed.
Russia on the other hand has failed at everything since its inception, owing to (1) peasant origins and (2) miscegenation.
@Aldo2 @amerika Welcome to the human race Aldo, even though I have had my own struggles with internalized racism and even externalized racism (not only hating myself for being mixed race but thinking others of different races were somehow not compatible with my existence, which was all wrong) but I now see that we are all a beautiful space colony on a ship called earth, and if we don't start working together and loving eachother and recognizing the pure laughter and humanity in others when they are filled with joy, the sounds are the same sounds, we all laugh the same, and cry the same. I thank the creator every day for people from the boomer generations like Gene Roddenberry and Mr. Rogers who spread brilliant and vibrant messages of interracial peace, unity, and appreciation of differences, we are shown through the works of brilliant storytellers like these that differences can be exciting in a pleasurable way, a thrilling way, and that we can love and be loved by those who are different.
Separate the ethnic groups, problem solved.
