    Turns out it's not so difficult to turn latent anticommunism into anti Russian fanaticism as long as you make it seem like the first war between white people since Hitler and the president and news media embrace a Great Mad Man ethos for Putin that aligns with the absolute shit stain that is American historical education.

      the first war between white people since Hitler

      I'm not even sure where to begin with this one. Yugoslavia? Cuba? Greece? Poland and Hungary? The Basque?

          Hitler didn’t see Slavs as white.

          Wilson didn't consider Germans white.

          Whiteness is a social construct

          And societies change over time. But the Ukrainians weren't white during the Cold War. They weren't white during the various CIA Ops destabilizing the state. They won't be white once this war is over.

        That's my point. There have obviously been many, which many of us are aware of and angry about, but I think this really encapsulates the emotional affect that western media are pursuing.
