Been seeing a ridiculous wave of Russia-washing content past 3 days. A dozen videos trying to convince everyone how actually Russia is European, they're white, most of them live west of the Urals, etc.

I know all this geography, that is NOT the point. It’s total bot behavior trying to whiten and soften their image through some mild west association trivia while they're literally playing the bully.

Geographic trivia doesn't erase imperialist aggression. We're all homo sapiens sapiens, we can breed, this whole obsession with splitting hairs over ethnic purity to justify state behavior is completely insane and racist.
