    Care to address your whitewashing of russian genocidal imperialism and refusal to recognize their responsibility for putin?

    Who is responsible? The roughly 80% native Russian speakers in Kharkiv or Odessa? They the ones invading?

    I said I don’t care what language people use in private conversation (even if it happens to be outside or even in between people in a work environment).

    So all streets should be renamed? Restaurant signs taken down? In other places such things are dealt with by having multilingual signs.

    So is this what you believe?

    No. You’re putting words in my mouth. What I want you to stop is demanding the oppression of an ethnic and linguistic minority in Ukraine which right now is dying on the frontline defending the country. Is that too much to ask.

    Ukraine signed the ECRML. Be a good European and, unlike Moscow, care about the treaties you sign. Care about human rights. Don’t blame people for who they are, but what they do, and, do I need to remind you again: Those people whose culture you want to oppress are dying for Ukraine right now. “Glory to the Heroes” my ass, what you’re saying is “Glory to the heroes only if they say “Hamburger”, as soon as they say “Gamburger” then fuck them”.

    You seem to be unable to distinguish between “Russian-speaking Ukrainian” and “Russian citizen”. Should Ireland, in your estimation, expel everyone who can’t speak Gaelic? Have all signs, all government communication, in Gaelic?
