    Wow dude, that’s mask-off open prejudice. That guy’s response was articulate and thoughtful and you just replied with some KKK level bigotry.

      Sure. He’s russian, I’m Finnish. They killed the grandparents of approximately half of everyone I know, and they’re gearing up for round two.

      You think I should turn the other cheek because he writes passable English? Half of that shit is straight up russian talking points from their media anyway, he’s not sincere.

        I think you should read what he wrote and not judge him on what you assume his grandparents did based on his nationality. But I’m kinda seeing you don’t have the capacity for that so I guess just continue to be a hateful xenophobic bigot.

          The irony of an American accusing other people of russophobia is …well, you can probably see why that’s a little bit hypocritical.

          I bet you feel safe over there on the other side of the Atlantic, huh? It’s all fun and games until the fuckers are on your border.

            “The irony of a choose-your-color person accusing other people of racism is…”

            lol- you don’t represent Finland very well, but I still won’t make any general assumptions about Fins based on your xenophobic hatred.

              Uh, if you think I don’t represent us very well it shows just how little you know about the socio-political situation here. Compared to most I’m pretty fucking chill about those fuckers.

              We have exactly one enemy on the whole planet and the only thing our army ever trains for is the inevitable moment we all know is coming.

              We’ve been subject to countless hybrid attacks in just the past two years. Just last week they stole 5 of our islands by unilaterally redrawing maritime maps.

              You’re ignorant as fuck.

                There’s a difference between a rational fear of the Russian government and being so hatefully xenophobic that you disregard and disparage an articulate and sincere human that’s trying to communicate with you- just because they were born under the rule of the same government you fear.

                But at this point I don’t expect you to understand- you’ve surrendered to your fear and now you can only hate. You’re so far gone you can’t even hear a Russian explicitly telling you they fear and loathe their government as much as you do- and are under even greater threat from it.

                But by all means keep spewing your hateful xenophobia- makes a good writing prompt for me and I’m tired of yardwork today.

                Just curious do you hate all Palestinians because of Hamas too?

                  You’re missing the point so hard it’s comical. Why’d I dislike anyone in the middle east in relation to our rather complicated relationship with Russia? They’re not involved in any way.

                  You’ll never understand what living in a country with 5.6 million people right next to Russia feels like. Try your rhetoric on someone from Ukraine and see if that shit’ll fly with them. My grandfather survived the continuation war but he lived the rest of his life with grenade splinters in his upper body. He died in '98. That’s 44 years of agony.

                  But hey, please do continue to preach tolerance of the Russian state from all the way over there. You’re the expert, after all.

                  You think the allies should’ve been soft with Nazi Germany too? The SS? They were fellow human beings after all. Or do you have the balls to stomp that shit to the ground and never let it back up.

                    I get it man- you hate any human being that had the audacity to be born in a nation you fear. You’re a textbook xenophobe but I love your impotent energy.
