Ah yes, Lemmy user commenting on a Lemmy.world thread that Lemmy is of course totally different, despite having all the exact same endless US politics content and USian whining as Reddit.
I’m sure not all Germans in WW2 were bad, but we still collectively punished them, because they were there and let it happen. 70% of Americans knowingly didn’t vote against this and that’s a high enough percentage to hold them collectively responsible, without even delving into all the complacency and complicity that lead to the point where it was even possible.
This happened because a bunch of Democrats and wannabe leftists decided to not vote due to Gaza. The problem is that people here, regardless of political party, are stupid and stuck in black and white thinking.
Brown people in Gaza being bombed? Time to sacrifice all the vulnerable minorities in the USA by not voting. Now we can all die together.
So you agree with the position that Russians shouldn’t be punished for the war with Ukraine?
Not every Russian is Putin. I feel bad for the queer people over there, too.
As I mentioned to another commenter, the majority of USians don’t seem to share this sentiment.
You’ve talked to a majority of Americans, have you?
You have, presumably?
I do… Like obviously. They had no control over that decision or access to accurate information
You may find that this is not the majority’s position in the US itself.
Even living in a hotbed of Trump supporters, I don’t find that at all. They’re mostly heroically uniformed
Because propaganda works, and Clinton cut the protections of the press from capital acquisition
It’s difficult to call Reddit a conservative platform, but you won’t find much sympathy for Russians there.
Reddit is a cesspool and doesn’t usually represent the majority. Reddit is for people who like smelling their own farts.

So are you Russian or from the US? Because you seen to be speaking for both
Why would the average Russian, who I heard doesn’t even want to do this stupid Ukraine war, be punished?
Why are they punished then?
By whom?
I’m not interested in a ‘discussion’ with someone who’s just gonna play dumb.
I’m serious. Who’s punishing Russians?
