Oh, you are so right for this because I remember waking up to all these posts about the Ukraine/Russia war starting and being like "This started years ago guys". And then, people were really supporting toward Ukraine for 6 months, before it was normal and nobody talked about it anymore. Also, the fucking russiaphobia, and how people were speaking to Russians, as if they haven't been suffering being under a dictature for decades. And, let's not forget all the Ukrainians who aren't white and who were not welcomed with open arms in other countries.
Nobody talks about Ukraine anymore but politicians who wants to escape talking about Palestine and Israel, and fake activists crying that Ukrainians had more supports than Palestine.
In the same style, I saw many posts about how the holocaust is seen as more important than other genocide because it was "blond-haired and blue-eyed white people", which is so fucking wrong. Firstly, the blond-haired with blue-eyed is the description of the perfect aryan for Nazi germany. Secondly, the victims of the holocaust are primarily Slavs (at least 20 millions) which the west didn't give a fuck about, and people who weren't seen as europeans, like Jews and Romani people. This diminution of historical events is so ignorant and harmful. It's more complicated than skin colors and numbers of dead.
The Oppression Olympic has always been pathetic. We should not be divided, we should stand together.
Nothing pisses me off quite like annoying guilt-trippy posts by idiots who cared about Ukraine for exactly five minutes in 2022 and have not thought about Russia's brutal invasion for so much as one second since beyond making posts complaining about the "~overwhelming support~" Ukraine has supposedly recieved compared to other ongoing world events and posts that go "IMAGINE IF THIS WAS HAPPENING IN UKRAINE then you would CARE but because it's BROWN people U WON'T" You are a fake activist you are a pathetic trend chaser & the people you claim to care about deserve better than the likes of you because your moral integrity could fit into a fraction of a fraction of a millimetre
#ukraine#palestine#also people tend to treat eastern europeans like western europeans as if they have the same history and culture and like no#as if eastern europe had the same privileges as western europe#it's not the same not at all eastern europe isn't the same thing#they don't realize how eastern europe has been treated like shit for decades#also the american black and white pov of racism is so not helping understanding history#europeans have been racists toward other europeans same for africans and asians#anytime I see europeans described as all white blond with blue eyes I want to put something on fire#no that's not true at all stop
