What's your nationality? Because it is absolutely relevant. If you don't employ some empathy and self-reflection of your own history when judging the historical actions of others, you literally get no say in the matter.
- cess11 2y agoMy ancestors were mainly sami and travelling peoples. The swedish crown more or less eradicated them. Not sure why that would make me empathetic towards muscovite genocidaires.
- cpursley 2y agoWell that makes you related to my wife, who’s part Komi (her father’s first language). But even they're not butthurt about what the Russians did to them - it was a long time ago. And actually, the Soviets made an effort to preserve the language - she had to take classes in school and much of the local signage is in Komi. People there on the river will even greet you in Komi, still.
