How can you justify invasions, murder of 14K people, displacement of millions over something that is a none-issue? That's what when I say you're eating Putin's propaganda. It's not normal to ruin two regions and millions of lives over a lie.

So why make up some pipe-dreams about how the world would be without nations and so on. This will not happen in our lifetime. What's you point about "nations states being racist?" What are you trying to say?

What do you mean "wipe"? What does it mean to "wipe your butt"? You mean to tell me I have to "wipe my butt" after poop? How is this the case? Explain you're self

I mean it seems like requiring the legal code of a country to be fully translated into every single language is bar that literally nowhere passes (even beyond legalese making the law into something you need specific training to comprehend even if you ostensibly speak the language)

that’s why courts are required to provide interpretors, and it’s not a tremendous imposition for the government to translate its laws into all residential languages. the Ukrainian state wouldn’t be immensely burdened by translating its laws into Russian, Romanian, Bulgarian, Hungarian, and Polish.

Really? Have you run a cost:benefit analysis on this?

Ukrainian is the national language. If you're going to live in France or Germany, you need to know French and German respectively. This is not complicated. And I say this as person whose Ukrainian is not that good.

You can't decide serious issues based on a casual lookup of wikipedia and some Ivory tower thinking about "nations are bad." There is an element "internet leftist's burden" to your thought process.

That hardly qualifies as discrimination. The reality of the matter is that it's not a big deal if you speak Russian as a regular person. I only speak Russian and it's never an issue even among "nationalists" (because they understand that I support Ukraine).

The criticism of Zelenskyy are fair considering his political position. And how is criticism a form of discrimination?

What does this have to do with "[County/Region X] first?" If you live in SoCal, you probably want to know english and maybe spanish.

This is not nationalism. Have you ever lived in a country where people don't speak english? You're telling me it's not a good idea to learn the local language as well as you can?

Get some perceptive.

most of the posters itt are only saying that you are a neonazi, not that everyone is a neonazi. you also play too many video game's, which is an inherently neonazi trait

e: proof: some researchers from a landmark darpa study published findings that strengthened thumb/palm muscles from prolonged joystick usage often results in subjects performing involuntary outward twitchings of the hand from time to time. these tics are noticeably similar to heiling, and often when one who is mistaken for having done a nazi salute in public, they end up rolling with it to avoid the perception they made a mistake that would make them look stupid/not worthy of earning 'chievos. Speaking of 'chievos, the researchers said that the 'chievo incentive structure mirrors the promotions, privileges and awards systems of historical far-right authoritarian regimes. One of the researchers ended up discovering that this was no coincidence, as they dug up internal documents of the first major video game's company and found that Ronald Videogames (inventor of video game's) was one of adolf himmler's "extra lives"

This is a good aspirational idea, however, it will not be viable in our lifetime.

If you live in a country where most people don't speak your native tongue, you will have to adapt and learn the local language. That's just how it is. Shitposting is not going to change that.

Have you ever lived for an extended period in a county/region where most people did not speak a language that you know?

The implication is "anyone who doesn't agree with me is a neonazi." I personally try to limit the use of terms like "nazi" or "fascist" in cases where there is actual right wing authoritarianism. Casually calling everyone who doesn't agree with naive pipe-dreams (e.g. Pener Kropoopkin's "thoughts" on the relationship between language and nation states) a "nazi" only dilutes the impact of the term.

ironically the US has been moving to accommodate Spanish speakers, slowly but they are doing it.

they still are even doing it despite the chud backlash and the concentration camps.

turns out even most racists can figure out that accommodating people is just more practical than sticking your head in the sand

I don't have any issues with accommodation. As I said before, if you live in socal, you probably want to know spanish in addition to english.

Had the geopolitical situation been different (e.g. Ukraine took a course similar to Poland), I might have even supported making Russian a regional language in Donbass. But considering that Ukraine is at war with Russia and practically all Russians (80%+) have a committed, genuine and heartfelt desire to make Ukrainians suffer, this is simply a no go. They might not phrase things in this way, but the functional outcomes are identical.

As the saying goes, all is fair in love and war.

But to hit the pipe and come up with stoner fantasies about how "nation states shouldn't exist" and to deny geopolitical reality is stupid.

I understand shitposting and or roleplaying as an "online leftist." That's all good. But to genuinely believe in delusions, that's a whole different story.

i do think anglophones have a tendency towards superpower arrogance when considering other countries' language policy, though - in my country, at least, a pro-norwegian policy (so opposition to english titles and names and poo poo) is considered a sort of culturally left position, and the people trying to get foreigners to learn norwegian are usually on the left - the right just likes demanding that they do learn norwegian without actually offering any resources for it

normally political protest isn't directed at places of worship, this was a hate crime. using the crimes of one member to justify intimidating a whole group is typical for bigots.
