I received insults

Someone even posted photos of dead bodies

These comments weren’t reviewed, but I was permanently blocked because my political stance is to hope for the reunification of my country. They said I have nothing to offer, just spreading propaganda and negativity.

    Damn, crazy how there aren’t any referendums from before the Russian invasion. I wonder why not…

    There also haven’t been any referendums in Wallonia to join France. Or Flanders to join the Netherlands. Or Austria to join Germany. What’s your point?

    Has Taiwan had any referendums conducted by the PRC? Presumably those are the only ones you’d respect.

    No, they haven’t. Why would they? The PRC don’t control Taiwan. I fail to see how this comparison makes any sense.

    Also, is there a particular reason I should have to respect any referendums organised by Russia?

    As opposed to just refusing to hold referendums in the first place?

    When did the Zap oblast or Kherson demand referendums?

    Is Wallonia obliged to hold a referendum to see if they want to join France? Is Russia “refusing” to hold referendums in Dagestan, Bashkortostan?

      Ah, I see you’ve reached the “deliberately playing dumb” stage of bad faith argument.

      No, they haven’t. Why would they? The PRC don’t control Taiwan. I fail to see how this comparison makes any sense.

      And Ukraine doesn’t control Donbas, yet you said any referendums have to be overseen by them to be legitimate. But again, you’re playing dumb here.

      Also, is there a particular reason I should have to respect any referendums organised by Russia?

      Damn, really picking and choosing when it comes to “recognizing the right to self determination”

      When did the Zap oblast or Kherson demand referendums?

      Whataboutism. We are talking about Donbas, which tried to have referendums, only for Ukraine to declare them illegal.

      Is Wallonia obliged to hold a referendum to see if they want to join France? Is Russia “refusing” to hold referendums in Dagestan, Bashkortostan?

      Ah ok, so you support the right to self determination, unless the ruling power says no, then it’s tough luck.
