I like him. Am I not supposed to?

[–] [email protected] 0 points 1 year ago (29 children)

No, actually.

  1. He is holding political prisoners (Kononovyč brothers)
  2. He has banned multiple opposition parties
  3. He is continuing the Majdanite ban on the KPU and communist symbols.
  4. He suspended elections "until the war is over" and also stated "the war won't be over until he takes Krym" Krym is rather deep in Russia's territory by now and Zelenśkyj has trouble with Donbass let alone Krym. This boils down to "Zelenśkyj suspended elections indefinitely." The Majdan regime is a literal fascist regime, attacking Russians and communists. (I'm not saying to support Russia either, although a lot of people on LG would say to support Russia)

Suspending elections until war is over is encoded in their constitution.

That does not make it better in any way.

Maybe take it up with the people who wrote the constitution.

Those people prefigured the situation, much like the US founders created the structural framework for disenfranchisement, racial capitalism, and global imperialism. We can't take it up with them, we just need to assess it soberly. Contemporaries do not get free passes merely because the precursors were created by now-dead peope

That's all well and good, but they're under attack by Putin, a Nazi who accuses everyone of nazism. Opening elections at this point would just encourage idiots to vote for their oppressors.

a Nazi who accuses everyone of nazism.

Is this projection?

Opening elections at this point would just encourage idiots to vote for their oppressors.

Being anti-democracy and calling more than half of ukrainian people idiots, typical westerner behavior.
