If you wish to use a whataboutist argument, at least make an effort to understand a smidgen of history.

You're comparing the modern oligarchic multicultural multiconfessional capitalist state of Russia with white nationalism and fascism. You're implying it's (Russian authoritarianism) producing more immoral results than Western liberalism. Never mind that the link between modern Russia and "white nationalism" is extremely tenuous, your argument necessitates comparison ('whataboutism") because it's claiming moral superiority of one system over another.

But if you want to just look at this at isolation and feel good about reading from script that's fine. I feel perfectly comfortable arguing against the modern liberal capitalist abominations of the US and EU in either isolation or in comparison. That's how you develop a more nuanced and complete view of the world. Just go back to sleep and forget about what your masters are scheming https://www.nakedcapitalism.com/2022/02/america-defeats-germany-for-the-third-time-in-a-century-the-mic-bare-and-ogam-conquer-nato.html

Perhaps this is, however, an appropriate kind of response one can expect in DAR.

Cope. You just don't have the intelligence or introspection necessary for anything beyond being a midwit liberal.

At least you're now making an effort.

But don't assume I am comparing anything. It's simple: Putin's authoritarian regime is ruining the lives of innocent people. The rest is noise. Don't listen to the noise. No reasonable person wants this, in or out of Russia.
