OK, so you are going to school me in Eastern European anti-semitism? Do you think I don’t know that it has been a huge problem for centuries? Do you think I don’t know that it is still a problem, with Ukraine, Belorus, Russia, Poland, Romania, Slovakia, Bulgaria, Hungary, etc.? Do you think I haven’t been there, seen it and heard it, and many times? People are so twisted - all people! - that they find it convenient to blame all the bad consequences they see around them on a particular set of people, always, of course, excusing themselves from culpability. This is part of the human condition - it used to called sin, before we all got so sophisticated - that so besets us all.
Of course, none of the phrases you put within quotations were from me. Those are only things you would like to put in my mouth, so you can bravely slay the straw man you have constructed.
I simply find your argument to be of a piece with the very thing you condemn. But I will not accuse you of being “a commie, a Nazi, or stupid,” as you did me. If you choose to be blind to human nature as it is, that is your affair. If you choose to remain on the side of cynicism and fatalism, again that is your choice.
Oh, do I know some Ukrainians who are as warped as you think? Yes, sadly, I do. But I know quite a few more Ukrainians who are decidedly not what you seem in the fever swamps of your mind to think of all of them.
OK, now you can readjust your filtered glasses and go on seeing the world as you desire to do so, assigning evil to those you choose.
"Of course, none of the phrases you put within quotations were from me."
Of course they weren't from you.
As noted in my post, gems like "Ukraine for the Ukrainians" are the political slogans of Svoboda, the largest political party behind the "revolution."
Since you are an expert in all thing Ukrainian, you surely know that Svoboda is the Social-National Party of Ukraine, named after that National Socialist Party of Germany (aka NAZIS).
And Svoboda is so original they have their very own flag:
And since you are an expert in all thing Ukrainian, you surely recognize the "Wolfsangel," the battle flag of the Ukrainian Waffen SS.
So, yes, I do not favor the rioters, even though I am not a fan of the government, either.
These people are literally Nazis, and I really don't care if they get killed.
