This is underrated comment. And by looking at the knee-jerk reactions from accounts with 0-10 karma, might just be right on the money.
For me, having moved from the US to eastern Europe has been eye opening in this regard. Based on somewhat shallow sampling of parents of our kids classmates in $$$ IB school, everyone but one seem to be vocal about the fact that everything in the west is from the 'ass'. I admit that it has crossed my mind more than once that if you really feel so strongly this way, or are upset that people don't want to speak russian with you, then why are you still here and not on your way back already?
Let's just say it the way it is: russia is attacking Ukraine, a free nation. Russia is committing atrocities and war crimes against Ukranian people. When russia stops fighting and leaves Ukraine, the war ends. That is all there is to it.
I haven't been completely unaware of those and other things. But vast majority of my history classes and bringing up focused on nazi germany being the sole responsible for everything WW2 and how we beat them. And then soviets being the commies and the enemy of the free world. And then the wall came down and everything was swell again.
So yes, I have been ignorant. Of which I am sorry. I may be late in the game, but let's put it out a loud: where are the russians living outside of russia that are protesting against russias war on Ukraine?
I guess russian leadership failed to consider this when they started their illegal imperial war to annex Ukraine. People of russia are almost irreversibly becoming the new 'nazis' of whose attrocities the kids will learn at school and of whom they will learn to despise for the rest of of their lives (while the earlier ones will be just another chapter in the history books that is read with the same enthusiasm that most study geopolitics behind WW1 currently).
This is not to suggest that the attrocities (at this point anyway) would be comparable, but that history is moving ahead.
Sorry about political angle, but due to my circumstances, I am very angry of what is happening, and I think these things cannot be repeated too many times.
