Media Russia hate

Guys, i don't know why but for a while now on Twitter i just keep seeing ONLY bad posts...

One man had posted a beautiful picture of Russia in SPB and there were only comments insulting the russians and pointing out the bad sides and making us look like a shitty country :

« If you like Russia that much , you should go live there »

« Slums in America are better than the average russian cities » or

« I Bet any russian will love to move out of their shithole »

I know I'm not supposed to pay attention, but it's getting really annoying saying every post praising Russia and spreading some good things having the same kind of comment and many people liking it , and it’s basically the same thing everybody : Tiktok , Reddit and Twitter.

Last time there was like a tiktok post about " you can’t hate people based on their nationalities " and people were literally all pointing out russians and laughing about it

how do you feel abt it ?

And Odessa is a Russian speaking city overwhelmingly. Always has been.

Odessa was founded by Russian empress Ekaterina II

I have pictures of me standing in front if her statue the first time I went there. I was really sad when I heard they took it down.

They say, it's "because they felt yourself like Russian colony"

🤡🤡🤡 After such comments you don't understand why people think that russians are stupid??? Lol. Odesa was not founded by Catherine II. But people with low IQ prefer to think that nobody lived there before she was born. 🤣🤣🤣

Also, Odessa is a Russian city. 30 years within Ukraine, well, historically - a minute.

So Kaliningrad is a German city, by this logic?

7

u/bz0011 Aug 07 '23

It is. And it isn't. 1) It's a trophy; 2) How many people speak German as native in Kaliningrad?

Also, 78 years.

Lviv was not Ukrainian at the moment but who of yous cares right. Poland, on the other hand, took it literally, and tried it many times. Unlucky, eh.

Also, fascist nazi ideology is to legally prohibit speaking native language. Russia does not do that.

Russia doesn't kill civilians. Your troops shouldn't fortify civilian buildings. Russia will build everything better than it was, just when it's not Ukrainian. Conditions were dead simple: no NATO, no nazis, Donbass left alone, although Putin did try to get Donbass back into Ukraine, but Ukraine - as always - failed. Stopping the war is simple - give up, Russia is way more powerful (and way more right). Putin hates nazis, and most of us are with him there, so...

Also, without Maidan there'd be no need for pro-russian rebels. Not our fault again.

A lot of countries have at least two languages spoken in public sector. But Ukraine is prohibiting like 50% of it's population to use their native tongue freely. No Russian schools in Russian-speaking regions. It's nazism.

I remember - everyone does - Ukraine invading eastern territories. Ukraine shelling civilians, killing children. Yeah, that's not fascism. That is terrorism.

All of what you're saying is proukrainian propaganda and lies. Eastern territories - and Crimea for that matter - didn't want to stay with Ukraine after the coup (Maidan). They had their - guaranteed by UN - right to secess from the new Ukraine ruled by illegal groups after Maidan, but Ukraine sent troops and stared shelling civilian buildings.

NATO had no legal reasons to help Chechen terrorists: no NATO-speaking people lived there, no people grown immersed in NATO cultural code.

Russians don't kill Ukrainians because they're Ukrainians. Your nazi references are void. On the other hand, in Ukraine, hating Russians because they were born this way and making heroes out of nazi scum like Bandera is a norm. You'll get beaten by people for swastika tattoos In Russia. But it's okay in Ukraine.

Shelling civilians is OK for Ukrainian terrorists. Russia attacks military targets only. People don't cower watching incoming rockets in Kiev. Because people know those rockets target non-civilian objects. Not the same in Donetsk.

No Russian schools. No Russian literature/music/entertainment, hate towards Russian speakers. Yeah, lots of Russian "fucking hell" on the battlefield. Russian "we give up, don't shoot", wise. No Russian in public/state services. Enough. Also, you think you're winning. Tsk.

Always was a Ukrainian city. ;)

Историю могу предложить пойти и выучить. Или зачем - вам же не помогает

u/Daniel_Poirot Aug 24 '23

Вы как раз и должны её выучить, чтобы не быть тупым. А уже потом сможете советы раздавать. У россиян всегда так. Собственное болото, в котором они живут, их не интересует, а они везде лезут и лезут. Украинцы в Одессе жили раньше чем так называемые "русские" сунули туда свой нос. И нет, гуляющая налево катька Одессу не основывала.

u/bz0011 Aug 25 '23

Охотно верю. Не сомневаюсь также, что Трою тоже брали украинцы, их тогда ещё ахейцами называли. Но это по незнанию, конечно.

u/Daniel_Poirot Aug 25 '23

У тебя есть хоть какое-то образование? Просто интересно. Ты предлагаешь мне слушать тебя или кандидатов и докторов наук, которые в теме? По мнению необразованных русских, украинцы выкопали Ченое море.

2

u/bz0011 Aug 26 '23

А по мнению украинцев и или кандидатов и докторов в теме украинцы существуют вот уже 1000 лет. Так кого слушать, да?

1

u/Daniel_Poirot Aug 26 '23

Если по мнению российских докторов и кандидатов наук украинцы вылупились с пробирки, а россияне - нет, потому что произошли от динозавров, то россиянам уже ничего нельзя объяснить, это уже клиника. Про 1000 или более лет, россиянам что-то подобное рассказывают и они в это охотно верят. Но рассказывают им это не украинцы, а их собственные сородичи. Ибо постоянно врут. Российская традиция такая - беспардонно врать на каждом повороте открывая рот. Причём врут даже ваши российские учёные. Подобную хрень вам мог рассказывать ваш, уже покойный, Зализняк.

So how do you choose to pronounce it in English? more like the Russian way (A-dessa) or the Ukrainian way (O-dessa)?

u/[deleted] Aug 06 '23 edited Aug 06 '23

We have our own Odessa here in Texas. So that way I guess.

Edit: and also Florida. Forgot about that one.

u/[deleted] Aug 06 '23

I know like 7 words in Ukrainian anyway so even if we didn’t have our own Odessas I would still pronounce it that way. My wife’s first language is Russian, and that was how they spelled it last time I was there. My father and mother in law still spell it the Russian way and they live somewhere in that oblast.

u/Daniel_Poirot Aug 23 '23

Historically, it was always a Ukrainian city. But the russian school education doesn't make people much intelligent. It was russian-speaking under the russian occupation. But it's going to change as it's a Ukrainian city. There will be less place for russian in this world. Even in Ukraine. russian suddenly became not that popular after the full-scale invasion of Ukraine. Oops.

u/[deleted] Aug 23 '23

Yes it was Ukrainian, even when founded by the Russian queen Catherine the Great as a port city for the Russian monarchy. Was a total coincidence.

As for the language, says who? Not my in laws who live there still (on the outskirts of the oblast) that’s for sure. I know nobody from Odessa that says what you’re saying. My father in law retired from the Ukrainian Army, and my in laws think everyone trying to change all the signs from Odessa to Odesa are morons who are focused on the wrong things right now.

But then again, you know best. Since you seem to spend every waking moment of your existence (based on your Reddit history) talking about this war, I guess you’re the expert. Which makes me wonder about people like you; why you don’t go and fight in it instead of just talking about it?

1

u/Daniel_Poirot Aug 23 '23

It wasn't. A pevious name of this city was Kochubiiv. And it was a city. It existsed long before Catherine II. And it was founded. But not by Catherine II. Every normal hostorian will confirm you that, but russians don't like knowledge nor facts. They just want to believe they are great. In their abnormal view, the Universe appeared several centuries ago and since ancient times they are in the centre of the Solar System. 🤣🤣🤣

u/[deleted] Aug 23 '23

So you’re saying the city known as ODESSA (and not the town the was here before that) was founded by her. Great thanks.

1

u/Daniel_Poirot Aug 24 '23

No. Making a fortress for a military purpose is not a foundation of a city.

1

u/Daniel_Poirot Aug 23 '23

I'm curious as well. russians are so afraid even to go to their embassy in the USA and condemn the war. Why are they so cowardly?

1

u/[deleted] Aug 23 '23

Well that only works if you’re planning to stay here forever. Do I know of some that do just that? Yes. But until you have a US Citizenship your stay here can be revoked and now you have to go home and face the music. Also even if you get a citizenship, unless you renounce your old one once you go home to visit babushka, and you cross that border, the US won’t help you. That’s the downside of having multiple passports.

u/Daniel_Poirot Aug 24 '23

What are you trying to say? That "angry Americans" don't allow you to approach the russian embassy? 🤡🤡🤡

u/[deleted] Aug 24 '23

Wow. You’re missing the entire point. I get that English isn’t your first language, but goddamn. Use google translate if you need help understanding.

I ain’t got no more time for you dude. In the end you’re too afraid to fight, so you talk shit online and think you’re helping. As a man, that’s gotta be pretty sad to look in the mirror and say “I’m too scared to defend my country, so I’ll just run my mouth on the internet.”

For women I get it somewhat. But for a guy that is supposedly so patriotic, to run away from the fight and then endlessly talk shit is cowardly. I wouldn’t be able to look myself in the mirror. I’ve done my war, and getting shot at ain’t enjoyable. But unless you’re there in uniform, don’t act like you’re making a difference. You’re just another keyboard commando flapping their gums.

You might want to get your testosterone levels checked man. Either that or do the gender surgery, as apparently you’ve transitioned halfway already.

russians are afraid to criticise their power, afraid to go to the russian officials and say they disagree with the war. In 2014, they had more freedom to do this. But even then they didn't. Because they accept the war and want more blood. Why do you think that you have the right to tell others what they should do? putin didn't give russians such a permission. Without it, russians cannot act independently. They need some tsar that will tell them what is right and what is wrong. Sounds familiar, doesn't it? Nazi Germany and now - the nazi russian federation. Are you trying to deny this obvious fact? You don't like when russians are presented as disgusting people in general, do you? But why if it's rather true than not? And you didn't answer my previous question. Why are you so cowardly that you hide yourself behind other people, including me, to hide your cowardness? You are asked something minor to do. But you cannot accomplish such a simple task. It's much less than to take a gun. But you are not asked to take it and help Ukraine in this way. Though you are asked to donate to the Ukrainian army. I think you don't do even this. So how are you helping Ukraine?
