Or people who read a variety of liberal/conservative media to “get a view of both sides” and ignore leftist stuff as “too extreme”.

minus-squaregeneva_convenience@lemmy.mlOPlinkfedilinkarrow-up2·4 days agoI suggest looking up the difference between conquering and colonizing. Russia is trying to annex Ukraine into Russia, not make it a client state. And then look up what settler colonialism is. Because if it was that, then those Ukrainians wouldn’t be in occupied territory anymore.
