    How should I call an army invading a neighbour country if not a “horde”? Viruses? Bacteria? Tell me what analogy I should use and I’ll do it

      You can call them invaders if you really want to use that analogy. You don’t need to rely on racism and dehumanization, but Euronationalists always reach for those as y’all have done for centuries.

        It would be easier for me to avoid dehumanising the Russian if they weren’t the first one to dehumanise Ukrainians in their rhetoric. Do onto others as you would have them do onto you, if they feel bad for being compared to non-human concepts they might want to rethink their entire way of behaviour

          Ah yes the dehumanizing Russian rhetoric towards the Ukrainians of… *checks notes* calling them a brotherly people. Smh…how awful of them.

            As should the russians. Why should I be the first to correct my way when I haven’t even invaded my neighbour through a war which has killed tens of thousands of innocent people?

                I’m not defending my own racism, I’m attacking the russian one. Hard to understand for you, I get it, but don’t make a fool of yourself anymore please

                  You used racist terms like calling Russians “hordes, bacteria, and viruses.” You aren’t attacking shit, you’re revealing that you’re a Euronationalist.

                    And the russians used much worse slurs to talk about the Ukrainians. Did you get butthurt against their racism as well or do you suffer from “partial loathing syndrome” as all tankies do?
