      she moved to occupied land during an active war becoming a participant in the occupation. She does not show any empathy towards the people whose land she is occupying, yet you’re asking us to have empathy for her because her occupation is not going as planned?

          Nope. Read Geneva convention once again

          “The Occupying Power shall not deport or transfer parts of its own civilian population into the territory it occupies.”

          Only thing I could find that’s relevant, but doesn’t apply since she moved there on her own accord. Mind helping me find the section you are thinking of?

          Empathy is never earned

          Why not?

            Because that requires acknowledging the value and struggles of people outside yourself, and self-reflection sometimes makes people saaaad 😢

              That’s just an explanation of what empathy is, not an explanation as to why empathy should have no limits.

      I don’t understand what empathy you believe is justified here. Empathy for a supporter of the invaders? Empathy for a settler probably stealing a home from someone? Does that make sense to you?

          She suppresses it. She’s an azzhat for not feeling with Ukrainian people whose flats and houses and hospitals and schools are being bombed for four years now.

          Piss off, ruzzia shill. You deceive noone.

            Do you really not write what you type? Because that’s the only thing I can think of that would make you fuck up spelling that badly.

              No.

              Blame autocorrect for becoming garbage forcing it to be turned off.

      if you move to a place that’s been invaded by your country you don’t deserve peace.
      even in the video she said she doesn’t want to return to mainland.
      i know there are good russians who oppose the invasion, but they didn’t move to crimea

          Imagine how close they could be if Russia wasn’t illegally invading and trying to steal land and resources? If Russia acted like a normal fucking country instead of a corrupt shithole.

          Do tell us how close we were when r*ssian propaganda was allowed for 20 years, when r*tards from sevastopol always whined how they are being mistreated, how tatars became even more of a second grade citizens on their own land. How it was ‘bloodless’ occupation, how everyone in crimea was r*ssian speaking, do tell. I’m all ears, it’s not like here are people that actually lived in crimea for whole their lives before occupation, right?
