    The fucking orcs

    were setting up whites only bars

    This is so confusing, are we for or against racism?

        I’ve had this talk so many times, it’s a simple lesson but it needs repeating.

          It may be a conversation worth having in a 1 to 1, but internet denizens crave hate and hate as much as they can when they can.

          Usually I get downvoted for “let’s come together” comments that say things like all Israelis and Russians shouldn’t die in a fire, because they are not all bad, when people are calling for culling them. The internet is weird.

            It’s Russian people who allow Putin to commit his shit

            It’s Israelis who allow their government commit the shit

              It’s the Mongols who allowed Ghengis Khan to commit his shit.

              Uh oh, now you should be worried considering his lineage is in most of us. Those damn Mongol ancestors of yours. Why were your ancestors so complicit in the rape and pillage of continents? I think that makes you complicit, too, by your logic.

                  That’s my point. Neither is Putin. Netanyahu’s approval ratings are rock bottom.

                    And the majority of Palestinians in Gaza weren’t even BORN the last time Hamas allowed elections, let alone old enough to vote!

                    99% of the times atrocities are committed by the powerful few, it’s against the will of the powerless many. Not least because the latter are also the ones who bear the brunt of the suffering.

                    But yeah, bigots gonna take any chance at more socially acceptable bigotry, I guess 😮‍💨

        It’s not “few” orcs that have crossed the border to Ukraine. It’s not “few” orcs celebrating the ethnic cleansing of Ukraine. It’s the collaborative efforts of a nation

          Should i blame you because your government openly support genocide in gaza? I could but we both know that the government and people in power are the ones to blame, most people are feed up on the propaganda these criminals spread to gain wealth and power.

      Russian is not a race.

      Orcs are a race, but they’re fictional.
