You've just associated actions of a certain fascist government with the whole language spoken by hundreds of millions of people who are against the war it waged and which is orders of magnitude older.

That's not very bright of you, to put it mildly.

Mind you, the language argument was just as well employed by the putin's propagandists, as in something along the lines of "just listen how silly Ukrainian sub-language sounds, lol".

Which is an argument every sane human being finds disgusting and stupid beyond all comprehension, of course.

> hundreds of millions of people who are against the war

Lie #1. If they were against the war there would be no war.

> That's not very bright of you, to put it mildly.

Lie #2. He tells facts.

> "just listen how silly Ukrainian sub-language sounds, lol".

Lie #3. This is not what Russian propaganda said. They said Ukraine will not allow to speak Russian and will punish for speaking it.

> Which is an argument every sane human being finds disgusting and stupid beyond all comprehension, of course.

The language itself is not guilty, of course. It's the speakers.

Their propaganda was saying a lot of different things, including both mentioned above.

Ukrainian is magical language that is both the same as russian (so not real language of its own) and difficult to learn, so russian not being an official language is literally genocide.

[dandanua]

You should learn what the word "literally" means, apart from the truth about Ukrainian language.

I think they are sardonically stating the russian propaganda position(s) to highlight its ridiculousness, not agreeing with it.

> Ukrainian is … the same as russian (so not real language of its own)

What… the fuck?

[ponector]

Just typical russian people. Imperial mindset, russian white supremacy.

[wartywhoa23]

A certain part of speakers - yes. A large part, no doubt, otherwise there'd be no one to fight this war.

But what about the other part?

The part that is guilty fell for the same trick that you're falling for - they perceived the whole nation as one single entity that, as they were told by the propaganda, was all Nazis, from newborns to the elderly.

We both know that was bullshit, but you keep painting all Russians in the same way the zombified part of Russians has been painting Ukrainians.
