Gonzalo Lira passed away in Ukrainian captivity

[Salty Ears]

It's just that Ukraine is an anarcho-dictatorship. There are no rules, your behavior may not please the SBU, an oligarch, a public activist (a real patriot of Ukraine, a Nazi, etc.) and you will have problems.

anarcho-dictatorship is a term used by journalist, political commentator Dmitry Dzhangirov (went missing after meeting with the SBU in March 2022)

Cosmo and others don't seem to understand between a dissident and a traitor.

No state makes this distinction, and neither do you, since every dissident is a "fifth column"

Stop being a cuck for the state that hates you, it's embarrassing and pathetic.

Always support your PEOPLE, never be a cuck for the state.

Because I also something a lot of people here on this forum, regardless of their proclaimed love for their country, are clearly not: loyal patriots.

Solzhenitsyn was a real patriot and dissident, you are not.

[Your Old Comrade]

To put it bluntly: anyone that speaks well of a traitor is not a patriot but a traitor as well. This kind of thing is a test of loyalty and what comes to mind is an expression used here based on Daniel 5:27. "Gij zijt gewogen, en te licht bevonden". You have been weight, and found wanting

[Your Old Comrade]

No government makes this distinction.

Stop being a cuck for the government/state that hates you, it's embarrassing and pathetic.


Solzhenitsyn was a real patriot and dissident, you are not.

Solzhenitsyn waa not considered a dissident and a patriot there. But a traitor. Nice try, though. Worse: his politics, at the time, bordered on fascism. So you can imagine how the USSR felt about him. He was not just stripped of his citizenship, but kicked out of the country.

[CosmoLady]

Speaking against your country during wartime on behalf of a foreign power, is an act of treason in any country.

So this is the perfect incentive for a state to keep a war going forever then!

Don't you understand yet? Anyone who disagrees with the state is already speaking "on behalf of a foreign power"

Solzenhitsyn was a RUSSIAN dissident and patriot, not a SOVIET.

You understand the difference between Russian and Soviet, right?

You understand the difference between state and nation, right?

If not, then you cannot comprehend what is a patriot or a dissident

I can imagine you in 1942: "Why do we even fight this war?"

So you cannot ever be a dissident or patriot with that mindset

Russia is the rightful successor state of the Soviet Union and thus he was a traitor.

Yes, WW2 was stupid, and look where it led! I would have strongly supported neutrality.

If everyone supported neutrality, then the war would have been much less destructive, or there would have been no war.
