Please leave your "look at the West" whataboutism out of it. In the end it's your problem how you solve it.

We in Russia had our media crushed, filtered by Yandex and most journalists fled the country or were murdered.

Your whataboutism is just trying to diminish our struggle.



Can you address my points instead of trying to assign some sort of ideological slant to them? Not only is it much stronger for your argument but it’s more honest discourse.

Nothing you have said in your post is unique to the geography, at all. If that makes you feel less special, good; there is nothing special about being from one geographical location or another, and nothing special about a murder in Africa vs. a murder in South America.

Murder is murder, you don’t have a worse kind. If there is something to discuss, it’s not from an angle of ideological context-macht.


You just try to downplay struggle of oppressed people in non-West countries for some reason by saying "welp it happens everywhere nothing special". It's so puzzling why Americans do it all the time.


No, I’m not placing any special status on your suffering vs. mine. I’m puzzled why you think I should think you’re special?


I'm puzzled why we should always talk about America, your government, your policies, social media and search engines? People in the third world want oppression off their backs and if you think you don't have democracy, well too bad, we still want it.


Who is forcing you to? Again, you are not special.
