AI-generated videos promoting Poland’s exit from the European Union have appeared on Polish-language social media, featuring non-existent, attractive young women advocating for “Polexit”.
One TikTok account called “Prawilne Polki” published content showing women dressed in T-shirts bearing Polish flags and patriotic symbols, European analytics collective Res Futura said. The content targeted audiences aged 15 to 25.
The videos featured statements including: “I want Polexit because I want freedom of choice, even if it will be more expensive. I don’t remember Poland before the European Union, but I feel it was more Polish then.”
There are smaller regime changes for mining rights. Canada also has their natives. Don’t those natives have less than what natives in Russia have?
I was comparing newer times. Otherwise you have to look at native Americans. My impression is that they had it worse.
In Ukraine there are far fewer casualities. Still not good, but in comparison the US looks worse.
Same for Britain while the US took over the Spanish empire.
Russia is an empire. The problem for Russia is that they can’t dissolve and regroup like the EU or with the EU because the US would grab everything and treat it like South America.
People believe in American freedom while the poor there work two jobs and don’t have dental care. People ignore recent American atrocities while they remember all the Russian ones.
Thanks to Venezuela it should be clear that there is some reason for keeping the empire together. Of course that doesn’t justify any genociding.
Here, BTW, I want to ask you:
Why do you think the situations of the nations colonized by the Russia would be any worse under US rule? I mean, if they are ever liberated from the Russian rule, I would strongly oppose anything else happening to them than them getting full sovereignty, like for example Algeria did. But even if you are right and they do end up under US, rule, why would that be any worse for the locals than the current Russian rule? I believe it would still be very bad, but much less bad than now. USA was behaving the same towards its colonized native populations some century or 1½ centuries ago as the Russia is behaving to its native populations now, and the native Americans’ situation in contemporary USA is definitely not something to celebrate, but the contemporary USA is nevertheless definitely treating the locals better (or maybe you’d prefer the phrasing: less badly) than the Russia is treating the native populations of territories ruled by it. And I really do think that the US would treat the colonized Siberians much nicer than it treats native Americans
If the Russian colonies somehow end up from Russian rule under US rule, then that’s very sad, but it’s still an improvement for their rights. Why, precisely, are you actually arguing against that?
As written in the other comment, east USA.
That should be worrisome, not reason for hope.
The US is not a white project. The whiteness won’t protect the Asian natives. Whiteness was arbitrarily extended to have a majority identity to supress the rest while not having to share the majority of resources which could be kept to the elite.
Are there native cities like Grosny in the US?
About the same as native Siberians have it now. The behaviour of USA towards indigenous Americans some centuries ago absolutely does fulfil the criteria of genocide. The only difference is that the Russia really got going on that stuff once the railway was built in the native’s lands, in the early 20th century, so it’s an ongoing disaster, not something where the worst parts were done in the past.
This is surprising. Could you care to explain how?
Who are these “people”? I don’t think those are half as many as you think.
Please show recent-ish American atrocities that are at least on the same level as the Russian ones. (Hirošima and Nagasaki do count, but they are not things that people ignore). For the purposes of this conversation it would be good if they were from this century, or at the very latest from 1990’s. When looking at what the Russia is doing now, whatever took place more than half a century ago is not very descriptive by itself, even if it does explain contemporary reactions of people in countries bordering the Russia.
Happy to hear that. You are not an .ml-ie ❤️
Shooting the buffalos to starve them to death.
The treatment of the Ingush comes close but the death marches of the US sound worse.
Overall there are hardly any natives in the east of the US even though that’s the fertile land where they must have lived.
What are the Russian ones? What does top Iraq? All the wars are pushed by the US if you look closely. UAE won’t have acted in Sudan without the US. Congo and Ruanda is for western resources.
Directly in the US I would say that the black prison population and the gerrimandering and school financing can be seen as a genocide. There is also the health care system against the poor.
I am not a fan of discrediting comments for coming from .ml.
Yeah, I noticed already yesterday that it looks similar to the ethnic map of the Russia. But the difference is that USA has toned down its behaviour, the Russia a has not. Shooting the buffalos to starve a nation to death is pretty much Holodomor.
First Chechen war killed 35 000 to 50 000 civilians, the second one something like 25 000 to 35 000. And civilians and soldiers altogether, they were about 150 000 to 300 000 dead in the two Chechen wars. Plus a lot of wounded, and Groznyi got completely levelled in the way Bakhmut was.
And then there are of course the victims of Mariupol, who number in 15 000 to 25 000.
USA’s war in Iraq cost lives of about 25 000 human lives, most of which were civilians. If we add all excess mortality caused by the war, then we get very much higher numbers for both Iraq and Ukraine.
Then, the Russian ones beside these actual big-scale slaughters in Russian-type warfare, there’s the ongoing genocides where people are not murdered, but cultures are eradicated. They were ongoing already in 1990’s, not only now.
But also: There is no good reason in caring about whether USA’s numbers are bigger than those of the Russia. Your neighbour rob and kill five people does not mean you are allowed to rob and kill one person.
USA has done a much smaller amount of evil deeds in the last century or half a century, but even if it had done more, that’s irrelevant. A big bad thing done to bystanders does not mean a smaller bad thing done to bystanders is suddenly okay.
I don’t mean all comments coming from .ml. A lot of people start there and then change for instances where human rights have a meaning. A person is not automatically bad just for being on .ml. If they were, they would be bad even after moving elsewhere, would they not?
But you don’t need to write many times in a community on .ml to notice that their admins’ and moderators’ values are strongly opposed to human rights. I obviously do not appreciate people who support opposers of human rights. I believe in that our thoughts align.
Of course. The difference is that Russia hasn’t pushed the US to do the Iraq war, Syria or Afghanistan. At most it can be said that Russia’s influence on Syria to deny the pipeline from Qatar made the US intervene. That would have maintained the status quo.
For Chechnya I am not sure but the US were fully aware that Ukraine is like Cuba to Russia which btw is also suppression. The intervention of Nuland is documented. The deaths can as well be counted on the US as a sacrifice that they were willing to make.
To white people, if the political influencing in the world and things like the drug pandemic in the US, and Russia, don’t count. The cleansing in Indonesia of Communists was caused by the US. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Indonesian_mass_killings_of_1965–66 . A bit more than 50 years, like Bangladesh, but isn’t that enough to make Russia the lesser evil?
I don’t think that they argue against human rights. The problem comes from them arguing that things like the Holodomor were justified.
They align but it’s a trick question. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cairo_Declaration_on_Human_Rights_in_Islam Human rights are not as fundamental as they are presented.
To oppose human rights, there is Guantanamo and the share of the the black prison population. And still, the US remain the champion of human rights.
