    I didn't expect "Russia shouldn't bomb civilians" to be so controversial.

    What economic system do you support? I seem to have stumbled into a world that thinks very differently than me on some topics so I want to know how similar or different we are on others

    I'm sure you like to pretend to think NATO is bad. But you don't. Not really.

    Really cool that you know more about me than I do.

    I bet we have lots of beliefs in common. I just don't understand or support your reluctance to say Russia is doing some very bad things

    I get it, it can be hard to say killing civilians is bad. You used a lot of words but just couldn't get it out but that's okay because we both learned a lot along the way!

    Ps I agree NATO bad

    nazis and their accomplices are bad. simple as.

    Completely agree. But "which Ukrainians are Nazis" is Not defined here. Bad actors who just want to kill Ukrainians can imply there are more Nazis in Ukraine than there actually are

    It's a statement about Ukrainian Nazis i.e. Azov, and their accomplices, i.e. the Ukrainian state and NATO.

    How it's written is absolutely clearly not a statement on civilians, bystanders, anti-war movements, or others neutral to the conflict.

    It's actually not clear at all because the only quantifier it provides is an amorphous category.

    If a racist person makes a statement about " removed" they can defend it saying they were only talking about a very small group but the reality is they're signaling to other racists they're talking about the whole culture.

    Your coworkers are afraid the author is including civilians and bystanders in the group "Nazis".
