>>23881108>the push to stop teaching Russian in Ukraine [...] means there have been aggressions on both sideswell shouldn't they be allowed to de-Russify as they see fit?
the Soviet Union pushed the teaching of Russian at gunpoint—you know about all the purges, right? the environment of fear and coercion?
and undoing that by teaching the Ukrainian language... to Ukrainians... in Ukraine, doesn't seem like aggression at all to me
does it to you?
I think you're accidentally advocating genocide via mass population transfer and displacement, just like happened to the Tatars
open borders aren't a solution... to anything
borders exist for good, good reasons
the exact same reasons, in fact, that you lock your front door, but on a bigger scale
would you leave your door open and let random ass people into your house? no, of course you wouldn't
because you'd be robbed at best, or raped, or murdered, or (most pertinent to the Ukrainians) thrown out of your own home when you became outnumbered by the newcomers
that's what happens throughout history when a people becomes a minority in their own land—they lose control of it
the newcomers (surprisingly) don't play nice
countries have always defended their borders, because if they don't, they lose everything
I can't help but think you naïve
>can't we all just get along and shareis not really a realistic strategy
that's not how nature works, it's not how the animal kingdom works, and it's not how human beings work
they're not fighting just for the hell of it, you know
