I do not find these kind of rants very informative regardless which direction they come from. I can give many such examples featuring similar uprooted emotional selectivists, even hateful stories marginalizing (or extolling) entire cultures/nations from nearly any country (most being familiar with Palestine, Israel, Poland, Slovakia, Czech, Germany, Ukraine, Russia, Vietnam, US, and few others). If one wants to cherry-pick on atrocities one-against-the-other for the above examples there are libraries and archives which, I guarantee, will break any sane person's heart. Those are real things that happened and they are just as well lessons to us, individually, of what any of us is capable of doing under the "wrong" circumstances. And we have to guard our humanity, individually, against indiscriminate hate -a poison that corrodes the soul - no matter how noble the perceived goal].<p>However, the weight of my comment is to be put somewhere else. I observe that in majority of such opinions (that serve its function as an outlet, but nothing more) there is simply no actual conceptual understanding (at least as reflected in the articles) of culture, society, state in relation to the individual as a process. This lack of concepts just digs a proverbial hole for the speaker/persuator from one cannot asses the past-present relation properly from principled laws of organization. Then we have over-emotional individual reactions to propaganda (on either side) which invites to such unstructured one dimensional banal analyses. There is no acknowledgement on limits of knowledge and validity of simply having different opinion on the matter, no distinction of what is personal, what is political, what is bureaucratic, what is a comment, opinion, what is propaganda, instead just thrown everything into one big flux, the antithesis of what intellect needs. No lessons, just brute misplaced hate, almost as if to confirm ones own feelings looking into the mirror; exemplified in the silly conclusion:<p>... that "Russians hate that Ukraine exists" ... (such sounds are produced also by the archetypal propagandists)
