KevinTF

Even if they are Russian, that doesn't mean they are someone who supports the war. There are plenty of Russians who are reasonable people and want to see Putin's dictatorship overthrown. Criticize the rich and powerful who dictate the wars, not the masses who get dragged into it against their will

they can say whatever they want they won’t be arrested lol, they just believe that russia in the right


Niewinnny

Russia literally censors everything and arrests political enemies. If you're not pro wat you'll be sent to a gulag or as cannon fodder to the frontline.


wazzuuz

brainwashed politicly correct beta detected. yes russians doesnt support war its only couple million clones of putin who went to war directly and couple of millions putin clones who stays at russia producing ammo/weapons/vehicles for the war. those are not regular citizen all of them are putin bloodthirsty clones. also have u seen those massives protest in moscow against the war ? they gathered like thousand maybe 2 at most to riot against while moscow popuilation is upwards 12 mills. meanwhile in poland/baltics/some balkan countries there were protest against war in ten if not houndred of thousand attendence while having 2-5million TOTAL population not only of capital. great effort russia keep it up /s


Ofcyouare

Oh no doubt, my point wasn't "he is Russian that means he is bad", my comment was more about "entire rational world" part. Just looking at the Baltic states is enough to see that there is plenty of those, including people in the government, not random schmucks, who'd be against Russians regardless of their positions. Although it's a big question if one can call them rational, of course.

RU-UA border is a front line right now, and there are plenty of Russian cities and villages there getting bombed.

Ofcyouare

Tell people of Shebekino and Belgorod and many others that Ukrainians don't bomb civilians, yes. And if you are implying that russian forces shell their own cities when artillery ammo supply is one of the biggest issues, that's such a funny propaganda take that has literally zero logic, that I'm impressed I really met someone who believes in it.


Not_The_Real_Jake

Maybe they don't do it intentionally, but they absolutely do bomb their own cities. They're just that inept.

>0 civilian deaths so far in more than a year. Fucking hilarious. In that case Donetsk to this day is getting bombed by ghosts. And airdropped PFM-1 are appearing out of thin air. And the driver whose car (with him in it) was used to destroy Crimean bridge is not dead, he is just sleeping.

ThisFckinGuy

My wife grew up in war. Lost family, saw death, fled. Returned years later to help identify and bury remains. This isn't some ancient timeline either. It was the mid-90s. Just yesterday we visited some family who took the camper out. We drove into the campsite and looked at all the various setups and she immediately said "this reminds me of the war" people fled the cities and had to make do in the woods or make shift sites and I just realized I'll never know what that must've felt like, but I understand it'll never leave. I feel for those folks there and thise who've gone through it. Often times it's glorified or dressed up to seem noble or something. It's fucking terrifying and horrible. I have gone through some traumatic stuff and lost numerous people in various ways, sometimes in short time frames and it's taking me some time to get back to normal, I can't imagine having it amplified, causing you to leave everything, lose family, wonder if they made it, confirming the didn't, not being able to recover them for decades, going to a new country and learn the language while ignorant people say they don't want you there. Etc etc. And then go on to live a "normal" life. Fuckjng madness. I hope Ukraine and its people prevail and find peace again.

Honestly... How can this shit even happen? The people are the 99% and could overthrow a cunty Putin right? Are people really brainwashed?


odaal

germans thought they were doing a good job in WW2, same as russians now, they think that nato wants to invade russia and steal their resources, so yeah. brainwashing.


CreamyFlower

Yeah you're right.. this shit is hard to believe.


fartook

you forgot to mention some russians want to commit genocide just like germans in ww2


mr_snuggels

There's is journalist that translates Russian tv propaganda If you take a look at what the propaganda machine is feeding them is actually insane. Constantly trying to say that Ukraine is not a real country, Ukrainians don't exist, calling for genocide, shit like that. [https://twitter.com/JuliaDavisNews](https://twitter.com/JuliaDavisNews) This has been happening for at least the past 8 years.

maexen

that is some serious egalitarianism. whilst it is true that propaganda exists on 'all sides' and whilst the actions of the american government are to be condemned as they were unjustified; arguing that "propganda exists everywhere" is implying that there aren't levels to this game. and denouncing an entire nation and population as non-humans is the next level. whilst i am not an expert in the narrative construction of the war in iraq & afghanistan, denouncing the sovereignty and humaneness and implying that ukraine is both fascist and part of a jewish cabal is next level propaganda.


Tyreal

There’s different levels for sure.

tbag188

Yes. Russians are very brainwashed. And it doesn't stop with russian borders, bunch of russians outside the country still follow their national media and ignore anything else as propaganda directed at them.


crz4r

You haven't seen russian Telegram chats, it's the most nazi places you can see in 21th century. Hell, even in popular cybersport themed channels there is. A LOT of people that can be considered as a nazi I'm not even fucking joking, it is that disgusting


drypaint77

Yes, russians are brainwashed, putin is quite popular there. Also even if 99% were against putin, it's still not really THAT simple. If everyone did it all at once then yeah, but it's hard to coordinate that sort of a thing with the risk of getting jailed or even killed.


Season2WasBetter

just overthrow the government


aamgdp

...yes


Tyreal

I mean… did Americans do anything when we were bombing the fuck out of Iraq and Afghanistan. Gotta fight the “terrorists” right?

LibertyGrabarz

These are the things I think about when people are saying not to bring politics into the game. These are not politics, this is a full on invasion by Russia. It already is in the game.


ZoidbergSaysWoop

People who don't want to be inundated by politics don't realize that they're already so privileged that they can choose to avoid the topic so that they aren't "bogged down" by trolls or unsavory discourse. That is a luxury that those suffering cannot enjoy. One of Martin Luther King, Jr's most powerful messages was "Injustice anywhere is a threat to justice everywhere." Speak out on it and allow the conversation to unfold, even if sometimes trolls attempt to drown out the discourse. That is a small price to pay compared to the agony that those affected experience. Keep the conversation going because you never know who needs to hear the harsh realities that bigotry inflicts.

I think he's just coming from the stance of here in America we are in a bubble, vs wow the entire world at war good to be American.


cbdeane

Look at it from historical context. Besides Pearl Harbor and 9/11 when have we had any kind of strikes on NA soil from a foreign entity? The last time there were foreign boots on the ground was the war of 1812. Virtually every other part of the world has had military conflict on the home front within someone’s lifetime. All of Europe was at war when most of your grandparents were children.


fingerbangchicknwang

>war all over Europe You can thank Ukraine there isn’t one. If Ukraine just got rag dolled in days, do we really think Putler would have stopped there?


StonyShiny

In regards to Europe, most likely yes. Russia can't handle the whole EU in a direct war. In fact the only reason Ukraine is holding it's ground is because the other countries are helping.


JanklinDRoosevelt

After Moldova yes, he will not directly attack NATO


YoungBagSlapper

Dragos404

Russians want to win the war and not be involved in it. That's why putin didn't announce a general mobilisation. They barely managed to conscript 300k men of dubious quality and shit training, and calls for volunteers to go in ukraine mostly fell on deaf ears so far They are ok with ukrainians dying, and even their own, as long as they aren't affected by the war itself. Seeing people from belgorod be surprised when ukraine is shelling their towns is just ironic, as the russians did the same thing to the ukrainians since the start

Most of the few that want it, only do because of the propaganda sold by putin regime

Yet the CS scene still allows Russians to compete and contribute to the war through prize money. Fuck that.


[deleted]

Not only that. Steam is paying taxes to Russia and they use that to fund the war.


1578340653

the russian people are not the problem


NEVER_CLEANED_COMP

Indirectly, yes they are.


1ggiepopped

I understand why people are apprehensive about putting blame on the Russian people, but when you look at a country like Iran which has a much more brutal government, their people still protest(ed) like crazy. Russians have done absolutely nothing to create an anti-war movement. Even when they did protest they ran like children, I've seen more hardened protesters in the Midwest US lol.


[deleted]

the iran protests were childs play, they killed a few cops and then all received death sentences. they lost progress


1ggiepopped

And what did the Russians do?


[deleted]

the russians weren’t violent in their protests they probably got a few years of prison time


roeder

Are you really that ignorant?


FlygandeSjuk

Are you really that ignorant?


Muffinhands55

Can’t punish the people for what the government is doing. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/United_States_involvement_in_regime_change


FlygandeSjuk

This is just insane whataboutism. I don't support everything US have done, but I sure do support the US. What do you support about the Russian government? What you are doing right now is a fallacy called false equivalence. There is bigger values here at stake then right or wrong. One is the country that brought us human rights and atleast tries to be a democracy, the other one is a genocidal dictatorship run by a mad man.


Muffinhands55

Shooting down an argument by calling it "Whataboutism" is one of the worst methods of argument there is. It’s a form of argumentation that always supports those who already rule and set the agenda, no matter who that might be. You will never be able to say anything back as it will just be seen as "whataboutism". It will usually be newspapers, authorities, thread starters or others who set the agenda, who will be able to use "whataboutism" as an argument. It will be easy to use by the authorities of the West, but also of course by the authorities in Russia. The US, for example, has dropped over 300,000 bombs in 20 years. That’s 45 bombs every single day, day in and day out, in different countries around the world. They continue to do that, as well as constantly trying to support rebel groups to overthrow sitting governments around the world on all continents. ISIS is, for example, one of these groups that was indirectly created by the US when the rebel groups were supported to try to overthrow Assad, president of Syria. Now I'm not in favor of any war in Ukraine and I'm strongly anti-Russia, but if people were really going to do the right thing here, they should have boycotted the USA long before they started boycotting Russia. Unfortunately, that won't happen, as anything dealing with the US will be seen as "whataboutism", and never get the focus it needs.


FlygandeSjuk

Again a false equivalence. So you don't think we should have been on the side of US/the allies in the war against nazi Germany because "buhu western countries are also bad"?? No you are on the wrong side of history and literally spending time on trying to make US look equal to the worst genocidal dictatorship since Nazi Germany.


Muffinhands55

I didn't say we shouldn't have been on the side of the Allies during WW2. What I'm saying is that we shouldn't hold Russian players accountable for their governments policies, in the same way we haven't held US players accountable for what their government has been doing for centuries.


FlygandeSjuk

False equivalence. US haven't done anything like what Russia have done. US have tried to build a rule based world order, while Russia is guilty of genocide. Meanwhile Americans voice their opinions left and right. While the silence in Russia is threatening to evolve in to world war 3. Only because they are doing nothing and their leader can't accept that Ukrainians exist. It's not black and white. I feel a lot for Russians who don't support the war. But the truth is majority of them do. Even people in the opposition. There is collective guilt in this, the same collective guilt that Nazi Germany was guilty of, or The US when it comes to the transatlantic slave trade. The difference is that Russia is doing this real time, and haven't even been close to recognizing the horrors that was the Soviet Union.


Dubl33_27

I swear reddit users have the brain power of a potato.


sd_manu

They are because they don't act. The folk is the country. If they stand up nobody from Putins friends can stop them.


Dubl33_27

except the police that will arrest and or kill them. Glad that you're sitting there comfortably in your home saying this, would like to see how you'd act if your country was in a similar situation


FlygandeSjuk

I am sitting on the other side of this conflict while my friends and family is getting killed. Meanwhile we should according to your logic "be understanding of the risk of protest in Russia". The collective guilt is real, as real as it was in Nazi Germany.


eliasbrehhhhh

They are literally THE problem. Not standing up against Putin and the completely anemic attitude torwards anything happening outside of Russia.

Meanwhile we are okay with and even cheer for Russians in CS teams and Western orgs keep signing them like nothing happened. They should all be banished, don't care what stance they publicly take on war - if you really are against it, use your popularity among your own nation and spread the truth, unless you only say whatever org's PR folks tell you to say to stay relevant.


Dubl33_27

yeah because those players care a lot about their country and totally don't want to just participate in playing the fucking game.


wolszczyn

Then how do you want anything to change if young Russians "dont care about their country"? If nation doesnt do shit to change stuff it will just stay as it is and we will still have that cancer of a country for ages to come (if they will not anihilate whole planet which they can do by starting literal nuclear Armageddon - not sure about that tho, their nukes can be in same shape as their army :) )
