I think we must fight against Russophobia because it not different than fascism. Why would people treat the Russians differently? They have eyes, noses and mouths like every other human being.
I am very saddened how these innocent Russians being treated in Europe. Is it a crime to be born Russian?
Europe should get its shit together and end their fascism against the Russians once and for all.
I have Russian friends, Georgian friends and Ukrainian friends. The "Russophobia" does not exist, is an invention of the Kremlin propagandists to justify their un-justifiable aggression. The world is not against Russians, it is against an illegal war waged by the current government and military ranks of the Russian Federation.
In war times, the enemy is the enemy and it is unclear who can potentially be a spy, so actors and others may of course be banned.
RE fascism and Europe, poverty attracts simple and wrong solutions to complex problems. Fascism is a simple and wrong solution that comes when people are disappointed with democracy.
Pretty much this.
I do not see any Russians being attacked or harassed en masse anywhere in the world currently. Sure, there are Russians who live in other countries and are cheering Putin on, but honestly, most Russians don't. And the only reason why Russians in Russia are so overwhelmingly "for Putin" is because of manufactured consent, threat of being sent to a work camp and never coming back and direct threats of executions for anyone living higher than the first floor.
Sweeping "all Russians" under the same rug is wrong, I believe. That kind of thinking is WW2 era xenophobia which has no place in our modern times. We are all the same but with different, ever-changing state of minds.
Education and evidence are the only weapons we should use to fight against ignorance and hatred.
