I'm sorry. Are you implying that the existence of ethnic violence within Russia is indicative of Russia being MORE against brown people than the NATO countries. The US who occupied Afghanistan for 20 years, bombed all of Iraq's civil infrastructure, organized multiple coups, occupations, and pro-Western regime changes throughout the Islamic world, developed their own interpretation of Islam that was extremist and then trained Islamic extremist groups in terrorism and used them to achieve pro-Western goals? How about the brown people in India that NATO member Britain occupied, exploited, destroyed, and extracted from, and starved millions through a deliberate famine? How about the brown people France occupied, enslaved, and killed all through Africa? How about the brown people the Netherlands, NATO member, kidnapped from Africa and sold, occupied all around Africa and Southeast Asia? Belgium? Spain?
Every single one of those countries has ethnic violence within their own borders, but that's not the primary indicator of how much harm they cause brown people. The US literally ran eugenics programs against various shades of brown people through the 1970s. Those eugenics programs were adopted by the Third Reich and used against many different people's who were considered non-White, but in Mein Kampf the author literally states his aims to apply the US programs of industrial genocide and apartheid to subjugate the Slavs.
No, Russia isn't MORE against Brown people. The enemies of the West are not merely worse versions of the West, despite what the propagandists would have you believe.
Neat the goal posts have already moved.
You *knew that would happen one he gaslit whataboutism, didn’t you?
Edit - forgot a word…
I am sorry, but I must not be reading that right, I cannot parse.
Edit, much better.
Also did you see the comment about selective calling of whataboutism? Wild stuff, love to see it.
Sorry - forgot the word “knew”. The guy is just bad-faith.
