So it's their ideology you hate? Nothing wrong with that.

You hate all Russians because some Russians and their government upset you? That's called racism.



Around the Network

Yes, frankly.



It was not a political thread, and it was pretty much out of nowhere, as the thread was about Mario Kart 8 being bundled there.Of course, the authoritarian regime in Russia has done a lot of bad things, but you have to consider that it would be the same as hating all Americans for what the regime does. I'm not entirely equated with Sharu's views, so I can't really comment on them, though.

I didn't think of it as racism because it was towards people who happened to be caucasian like myself.

I like the Japanese but I hate North Koreans, but they're both Asian, so you can't say I hate Asian people.

Why do you hate North Koreans, though. For being poor and taken advantage of by their regime?

Because their regime is psychotic and clearly out to get us. And since they're conditioned to go along with fatso's ideology, then unfortunately they're accessories.

So, do you hate everyone in NATO, too? We have to pay taxes for a military alliance that has gotten involved in Libya and destabilized it, and causing a lot of innocent deaths since them.



Around the Network

Yes.



Sounds like you need to separate people and state. I don't hate Americans for putting an idiot in charge, and they even had a choice, unlike North Koreans. A very bad choice though, like between cancer and dementia :/



As a Greek, we have suffered 10 years of being looked down on, as lazy, unproductive, corrupt, even "pigs" because of our governments' actions. I'm not saying we're not to blame, but generalizing like that is a dangerous practice.

For instance, all Americans are meddling arrogant fools, Germans vile and murderers, and Italians eat only pizza, all of which are, of course, not true. And the answer to your question is, yes. I see your viewpoint, but you're still being irrational.

We were at least trying to atone for it. I don't see Russia even trying to atone for MH17, or civilian casualties in places they've invaded.

Trying to atone for it? With the US still bombing 7 countries?

I meant Canadians like myself. And you ignored how I don't see Russia trying to atone for their recent actions.

Canada's still selling weapons to Saudi Arabia, so they can bomb and slaughter people in Yemen. In fact, their relationship with the Saudi regime in general is disgusting, they're allied with one of the most repressive regimes in the world.
