Correct, and I strongly support our Ukrainian comrades in the DPR and LPR in their resistance against the fascist coup government.
Pollux
It's a shame that people who say they support "Ukraine" usually mean the 2014 fascist coup gov instead of the Ukrainian breakaway regions resisting it.

"Defense" is when you aid the overthrow of a government to replace it with a fascist one that kills eastern Ukrainians like in Donbass, DPR, LPR, and Crimea
Then they wonder why Crimeans overwhelming support Russia against the post-2014 fascist coup gov in Ukraine
Implying that it's not fascist already with the state cracking down on protesters against genocide
But have you considered that those investing in genocide are human too
Translation: We only allow "protests" that are ineffective and don't cause any trouble for the ruling class

There is no impartiality for genocide.
The Viet Cong killed hundreds in the same way, and so have all successful revolutionary groups in the past. Decolonization is violent, if you don't like it don't colonize in the first place.
Edit: And Hamas, even with their far less precise gear and without military superiority, has done a far better job avoiding killing civilians than the occupation has. The final death toll from the Oct 7 retaliation is now thought to be 695 Israeli “civilians” (mostly unarmed IDF conscripts), 373 armed IDF members, 71 foreigners and 36 children. While Israel has killed over 30 thousand Palestinians, 2/3 of whom are women and children.
Back when Colombia had a far-right government surrounded by leftist ones, Chavez called it the "israel of Latin America" for being a US puppet. Fascinating how things can change.
Maybe lemmy.world will have ads and NFTs at some point too lol
I don't think that's necessarily true. Tons of young people are communists. OP being politically illiterate doesn't have to be for their age, though that's likely part of it.
The neo-nazi one that attacked the trade union building and Eastern Ukrainians for resisting, yeah
Looking up the 2010 elections should give you an idea of what the division in Ukraine is like
I remember back in 2014 when even Redditors could tell the solution was to have Eastern Ukraine be a separate state so the coup gov wouldn't be killing them for resisting. That's what the people in the DPR and LPR were trying to do and were being bombed by the fascist state for it. At least Crimeans are free from it now ig.
