When did I say they don’t deserve the ability to live peacefully? I’m simply calling out the liberal narrative that one is definitely authoritarian and the other is definitely a democracy, and that this is a case of an authoritarian government specifically trying to destroy a democracy. Ukraine is hardly a democracy, contrary to popular belief.
my reply comment wasn’t meant to run counter to your comment, rather, i meant to express that the the entire narrative of “attack on X is worse bc they’re democratic” or “attack on Y is more justified bc they’re less democratic” is absurd and cruel
the ability to live peacefully, without being invaded shouldn’t be contingent on presence or absence of democracy either way 🤷♀️
