Unlike the removed user, you seem to hide behind a mask of stupidity.

"I deliberately chose to ignore all evidence regarding the genocide in donbas because im stupid"

You think anyone gonna believe that?

    Attack the messenger, that only serves my point. You do not have sensible arguments explaining how the vast majority of researchers have consensus on the fact that Russia has no legitimate, good, reason to invade Ukraine in the view of someone concerned with human rights. By sensible, I mean not one that involves the theory that all researchers of the world are on a pay roll. Because you do not have such robust argument, you resort to ad hominem attacks that serve my point.

    If you had some peer reviewed litterature confirming the genocidal thesis on Donbass, you would have provided it to me. But you haven't. It means that either it doesn't exist or that you do not have the necessary method to distinguish propaganda from fact. Or that you are a troll.

    I have a method. Maybe it isn't right and maybe it is misleading. But I have an actual method to check the news. It is robust and hasn't failed me in the past. This method is rejecting the Donbass genocide story.

    Other users have already posted evidence. You continue to pretend to not see it.

    Where's YOUR evidence btw? You can certainly talk big, but is your big talk backed by anything, or are you just full of hot air?

    Are you kidding? At the age of AI, and even before that, a few pictures is not evidence. the fact that there are actually some Nazis among Ukrainians doesn't prove anything about any genocide. Plus it is not on me to assess evidence. It is on the researchers. What I do isn't necessarily to check the evidence myself but trust in the community of hundreds of researchers to tell it if they find actual evidence. When there is no evidence, there is no paper. That's the case here, there is no peer reviewed article to read. Because that genocide claim is a story.

    It is not up to me to prove that something didn't happen. I don't have to prove to you that dragons don't exist. It is on you, if you claim otherwise, to prove to me that dragons actually exist.

    However, I can share with you this statement signed by hundreds of scholars on the genocide matter: https://www.historynewsnetwork.org/article/182573

    I can also share this explanation of Alex Hinton, a genocide specialist cited over a 1000 times in a journal which I recommend dearly because it is maintained by researchers on all topics and is usually well sourced. In this article, Alex Hinton explains on which basis Putin is claiming there has been a genocide in Donbass, and proceed to put that into perspective by comparing the number of deaths: https://theconversation.com/putins-claims-that-ukraine-is-committing-genocide-are-baseless-but-not-unprecedented-177511

    But again, there is no proof to provide about that genocide because there is no genocide. I have no proof to give to convince anyone that something doesn't exist. That is basic zetetic.
