RE: Wanting to believe

As to this @aneczka critter, I wish I knew something more to tell you than just "don't let her get to you." Slavish devotees of Russian propaganda are everywhere. I have dealt with two of them on my own page, @vp-freelance and @valued-customer. The former is rather cookie-cutter; just the usual word-salad of "Blah blah Nazis blah blah Bandera yak-yakkity-yak-yak NATO warmongering something-or-other." Every now and then when I need a cheap laugh I give him a berating just to pass the time," but it's not as though he's capable of learning. The latter though, is an absolute zealot.
In my article about leaving Ukraine, wherein I described the murders I'd witnessed by Russian troops, the shelling of civilian complexes by Russian artillery, the bombing of my own school by the Russian Air Force, he actually tried to tell me in a comment on that very post "Russia seems to be going out of their way to avoid civilian casualties." I've seen him on multiple occasions try to "Krem-splain" to me that he knew more about what was going on in Ukraine than I (an expat who was in Ukraine when it happened) or my fiancee (a Ukrainian whose family is still in Kharkiv) do.
For some of these people it's a matter of being brainwashed. For others it's about getting paid. But for most of the ones on the Western Right, it's about "Russia can't be the bad guy because that will mean admitting I've been wrong in admiring them for years. Besides, Biden is pro-Ukraine and I can't accept that he might have actually gotten something right because it's more important to be anti-Biden than anti-genocide, so I have to ignore my eyes and ears and insist that anything spoken ill of Russia is 'propaganda.'" Regarding @aneczka, I can't tell what her damage is. She seems like the end result of mixing option three with copious amounts of narcotics.

I don't understand why you brought my name in here. Are you stirring up animosity in the Hive?
I know of a community of my countrymen who have a different point of view from mine. I don't go around trying to impose mine on them, they don't touch me. I chose the appropriate community for my publications. Freedom of speech within the law and mutual respect is paramount!
You're trying to pit us against each other right now! What are you doing that for? For what purpose? Stop it!
If you want to confront me with facts, not emotions, do it in person under my posts or on your personal blog. And the Hive is not a place for arguments and quarrels.
Have a good day)

"Are you stirring up animosity?"

Your entire blog is a case study in "support of genocide 101," and you have the cheek to speak of "stirring up animosity" when you get a spotlight shined on it?

"I know of a community of my countrymen who have a different point of view from mine"

There are no "different views." There is the truth, and there are the lies you have willingly shared in order to cover it up.

"I don't go around trying to impose mine on them,"

Oh but you do.

"Freedom of speech within the law and mutual respect is paramount!"

How much "mutual respect" did you share with the children who were massacred by the Russian troops you've openly and repeatedly supported?
