quick reminder that everything russia’s doing to ukraine isn’t new. there were 170 governmental bans on ukrainian language in the last 150 years. most of ukrainian writers from the basic school literature curriculum were murdered or oppressed for speaking out for ukraine. an average person doesn’t have to know executed renaissance or the ems ukaz or forced russification or literally hundreds of similar precedents, but please do note that this all was a thing long before putin

Oh. Oh no, that's so much worse than I thought it was.

#I thought this only started being a thing in the USSR#I didn't realize how far back this hatred went#good Lord I'm so sorry#russian imperialism#russian colonialism#history#ussr#genocide#russian war on ukraine#ukraine @shofarsogood Russia hates all of us. *waves at Eastern Europe* But they really really hate Ukraine because Ukraine's existence means Russia can't claim to be the most Slavic Empire of all time. They're like laser-focused, it's wild, but tbh it's sort of what we grew up with. I think we felt that Russia could attack Europe even before they did attack Georgia (which I sort of count as Europe in this context), because they never gave up on the "imperial dream". The start of the 90s was kind of hopeful but after Putin got into power it just started doing downhill again. idk if my reply was helpful but I do personally appreciate that you care. for a lot of people the things Russia is doing in Ukraine are no longer the cause du jour, but it's still happening.

For the purposes of this hypothetical, assume society has solved the problems that exist with the way capital punishment is used real life– e.g. only people who did actually, definitely commit heinous crimes would be sentenced to death; the definition of punishable offenses would never expand to unjustly include minorities/political opponents/etc; the justice system moved efficiently and treated people fairly in the process, etc; essentially, an idealized application of the death penalty.

#things that make me go insane#a bad action does not cease to be bad simply because it is performed by good individuals or entities#the State that allows torture/death for criminals becomes a criminal State#there's no in between. you're either a constitutional State that recognizes human dignity as its core value#or you're not a constitutional state at all

SOOOOO funny when you’re having a strong emotion and your logical brain KNOWS you’re overreacting but you literally can’t do anything about it.

Emotional brain: fire and rage and biting and biting and biting

Logical brain: That was an innocent mistake, and not anyone’s fault.

Emotional brain: you’re right… fire and rage and biting biting biting for one thousand years tho
