#I also hate these ‘intellectuals’ who know absolutely nothing about Eastern European history

[bereft-of-frogs]

Ngl the main reason I finally deleted TikTok wasn’t just because of the time suck and how it was ruining my attention span or making me feel shitty about myself/everything

But because I saw possibly the worst take to date on Ukraine and that was just the straw of stupidity that broke the camels back

It has been haunting me for two days

#I just hate how social media has convinced everyone they’re experts #god this guy was so stupid #I also hate these ‘intellectuals’ who know absolutely nothing about Eastern European history #or geopolitics in general #being like wow im so right about everything #I’m being so ~anti imperial~ by saying that ukraine should have instantly surrendered to russia #because imperialism good when russia do it? #I mean it was really just a new iteration of the ‘ukraine only hates russia because the us made them’ russian propaganda #because….they’d have no other reason to hate russia??? #maybe like…skim the Wikipedia article first #like 5 minutes bare minimum before commenting #better yet just don’t comment #anyway hopefully this has exorcised the post from my brain #current events cw
