I thought it was something to do with Kim Dotcom’s Mega at first. Such a dumb headline.
What’s your alternative to democracy after this “peaceful revolution”? Who’s in charge? You?
Is this revolution anarchist, communist, fascist, or something else?
And what kind of democracy are you talking about? There are many varieties, with some being far better than others.

What does “exposed your alt on .ca” mean?
Can you intertwine Lemmy accounts from different servers somehow?
Russia has been invaded plenty of times
With F-16s, HIMARS, and drones?
Modern warfare isn’t the same as Germany in WW2.
It’s not about offending. It’s about stereotyping and prejudging people.
It’s very easy to go from Russia/ Israel does bad things so the Russians/ Israelis aren’t welcome, to xenophobic hatred of all Russians/ Israelis.
It’s a fine line to balance because obviously, being Russian/ Israeli associates you with the actions of your country, and a certain percentage of the population in those countries will agree with their government’s policies. But not all of them do, and to make general sweeping statements like none are welcome leads you close to the xenophobia that those opposed to Russia/ Israel tend to condemn.
In WW2 America rounded up and imprisoned loads of Japanese-Americans, regardless of whether they supported Japan or had any evidence of them aiding Japan. This has generally been viewed as a bad thing done to innocent people. Rhetoric like this could lead to a similar situation.
People are people. Some good, some bad. Some perform shitty actions on purpose, some perform shitty actions through ignorance, and some oppose shitty actions. But where someone is born doesn’t determine if they’re shitty or not, so sweeping statements like “Israelis are not welcome” gets far too close to xenophobia for some people’s liking.
Obviously, what Russia and Israel are doing is awful and must be condemned, but a bit of casual xenophobia isn’t going to do anything to stop them. Official blocks of official teams would do far more to hinder them and their image of acceptance in the international community than blocking their citizens from spectating.
“That’s something that happens. The migrants travelling the Aegean Sea, very often they abandon the children. They don’t seem to have the same… affection we have for children.”
The blatant dehumanisation is sickening as well.

Gaelic defines colours differently from English. The term “red” here means the orange-brown hue of the rock, which is most obvious in the foreground of your picture.
Great pic!
