Authoritarians and Politics

[SGF]

Are we really going to start with the argument of "more of my people were killed" on a socionika forum. I find this incredibly insensitive and not really something to turn into a competition imo. One genocide/killing being more "severe" in numbers doesn't make the other "lesser" since there are/were still people suffering and dying in the end. I think it's a terrible mistake and misunderstanding to do so since it devalues the actual pain and suffering that real human beings went through. I understand that there is a lot of hurt that gets carried with racial politics, but do we need to act like little kids and start tallying up the deaths of our ancestors as if it's some game?

Just my thoughts on that.

I think the point with the "you are a white man/woman/person" and lumping all white people together mindset is that the ideals (eurocentric beauty standards for example) have spread all around the world for the most part, even if certain countries didn't partake in the slave trade or genocides of other people. So white people and white passing people all get lumped together even if their ancestors didn't have anything to do with slave trade. Essentially what I'm saying is, these "white" people still benefit from these standards in one way or another, whether they realize it or not.

I'm tired of being lumped in with "white people". Come to Eastern Europe, see how the post communist block is, work here for pennies while food & gas is more expensive than in London. Then tell me we had it good, we have it good and were "lucky". No, this place is a historical meat-grinder, between a rock and hard place.

I understand that ppl will not differentiate between "whites", but they will come to understand that Central & Eastern Europeans (Russia included) will not apologize nor bend the knee to anyone offline or online anywhere at any time. Since 2015 I believe we have made that abundantly clear. There are many historical reasons why.
