    How am I shitting on Muslims? What are you even on about? You’re equating Muslims to the Islamic state?

    You can think whatever you want. You don’t have to deal with russians, of course you’re going to feign concerns about humanitarianism.

    It is easy to reject reality, engage in historical revisionism, white-wash russian crimes, when the alternative works out to be you defacto promoting genocidal imperialism. Not many people want to end up on the wrong side of history and be caught saying “supporters and participants of the Nazi regime are not that bad”. It is far easier to convince yourself that it’s really about humanitarian concerns.

    Then there is the cowardice angle. Feigning concern about humanitarianism provides a nice escape valve for de facto meek and complacent behaviour with respect to russian PR campaigns (nuclear sabre rattling). No one wants to look like a coward and a fool at the same time.

    So keep at it, bro!

        Even a from a purely Ukro-nationalist framing (and I don’t consider myself a nationalist, I am not even white), I would of course support the Ukrainian Crimea Tartar community.
