"in general russians are seen as enemies"
My wording was indeed bad, what I meant was there is a general trend towards doing that, not that the majority already does it.
But the ukrainian Ultra Nationalist do. They are the black spot I am seeing. There are hardcore Nazis in my (german) home town - and they went to support their nationalistic comrades in Azow and co. They do not fight for democracy.
- racional 2y agoThere are hardcore Nazis in my (german) home town - and they went to support their nationalistic comrades in Azow and co So you base your view of what's going on in Ukraine not from talking broadly to Ukrainians; not from an objective reading of history and news reports -- but on what the Nazis in your hometown are saying?
- lukan 2y agoHow do you conclude, I just use the Nazis as a point of reference? It is just a pretty strong indicator. And what people are saying does not matter so much to me, as what people are doing.
- racional 2y agoBecause you offered them as your primary point of reference. These people aren't a "pretty strong indicator" of anything. They definitely do not have an interesting or useful perspective as to what mainstream Ukrainian society thinks or is actually like.
- lukan 2y agoLet's put it like this, in germany we try to keep those people away from weapons and police actually (partly) prevented them from going to Ukraine. In Ukraine they would officially armed. So yeah, germany is not directly in war and if a war comes here, we probably would also arm our Nazis again and hope they shoot in the direction we want - but I would be against that and I would consider this "black".
