| I didn't say "Russians" I said the Regime and a lot of Russians (extreme nationalist ones), which are the ones running the propaganda machine. It has been used has a derogatory term, like other ethnic slurs. > And ethnic slurs are not used in official language, you know. I mean Russian official language. If they are part of the Russian State propaganda language, then they're part of the official language. You, in particular, might not like it and feel uncomfortable with it, but that doesn't mean it's not happening. So you're misguided in your assessment, the problem isn't the new derogatory meaning of the word "little russian", it's the people using it while supporting the genocide in Ukraine. > As well as word "moskal'" in Ukranian. Do you know what it means? Oh I'm sure there are plenty of slurs from Ukrainians towards the people invading their land, killing and raping, destroying their livelyhood and culture in an attempt to erase them from the map! How do you expect people to react towards the people committing war crimes, crimes against humanity, and genocide? > I mean you can hate Russia for starting the war and turn a blind eye to Ukrainians killing Donbass people So your take is still the propaganda hook? Russia has killed more Ukrainians in the Donbass than anyone else since 2014 - they're the only ones to blame. They can try to spin it, but all the evidence points in their direction. As for "hating an historical word" I don't even know what that means. Words in itself are not subject of being hated, its the people who use them with bad intentions that are the problem here. |
