Elevating a view point that is based on ignorance, vibes-based understanding of politics and economy, and--let's be frank--lies with the express purpose of silencing dissenting opinions is, in fact, not respecting everyone's experience. Sometimes certain voices need to shut the fuck up and listen to other's experiences because what they believe to be true is just something absorbed through passive ideological osmosis.
You also speak as if I don't frequently experience at least mild antisemitism when I express this perspective. I do, depending largely on where I am. A lot of people don't care about bandera nazis in Ukraine currently, so pointing to this nazi history tends to spark a bad response.
I disagree and you are countering your own point by saying your experience is more valid than his.
Describing your experience or even that of your ancestors without spewing hate or insults is ok in my book and it's human nature to arrive at different conclusions.
I really didn't mean my comment to get into specifics of current situation in Ukraine and you can choose not to believe my experience. I experienced zero antisemitism in recent encounter with group you call nazis, currently defending their own country, with a very prominently displayed star of David and better russian than Ukrainian. Can't say the same thing about the time my family left.
someone's personal anecdotes, especially anonymously given on the internet, without hard evidence to back it up, are meaningless in the face of data and detailed reports, this is a basic aspect of any serious research. it is absolutely absurd to accept everyone's interpretation of events equally given the material conditions that shape people's beliefs. the poster screenshotted lived through capitalism, not communism, and uses that time period to denigrate communism, even though it was not the dominant ideology at the time for a while. that is absurd, and recognizing that is not '''invalidating someone's experiences'''.
and then you randomly jump to defending ukrainian (alleged) nazi militias. Which group did you meet i wonder, and what would i find if i googled their history or iconography? like, it is an objective fact that many of the militias in the country are nazis and use nazi iconography and espouse beliefs identical to nazi beliefs, in addition to their war crimes against ethnic russians, jews, roma, LGBT people, and the disabled. there is ample UN reporting on this issue, and your nice, friendly interaction with these alleged nazis does not counter that.
