The world really does owe Russia a whole lot of karma.

[–] PugJesus@lemmy.world 16 points 3 weeks ago (3 children)

No. Fuck that thinking. Authoritarians and their supporters deserve karmic destruction. End of.

I got flamed a couple months ago for mentioning Soviet War Crimes in WW2.

I can’t believe some people refuse to admit all war crimes are bad end of discussion. I don’t care who committed it, a war crime is a war crime which is inherently bad.

[–] PugJesus@lemmy.world 2 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

Even war crimes against Nazi war criminals ultimately rob the hangman of his rightful due. Think of the hangman!

Oh man, wait until you learn about the guy who hung the Nazis.

John C. Woods https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/John_C._Woods?wprov=sfla1

My favorite detail is how, either through incompetence or malice, John didn't make the hole in the gallows big enough. As a result each Nazi that made the plunge smashed his face on the way down.

Warms my heart.

And of course a link to my favorite podcast I am duty bound to shill for. https://www.iheart.com/podcast/105-behind-the-bastards-29236323/episode/the-bastard-who-executed-the-55213274/

I think you two are in agreement

[–] PugJesus@lemmy.world 14 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

There is a fundamental mistake in seeing continuity here. Each monstrous government may be built on the bones and delusions of the last, but it is no more a 'Russia' that is responsible for these crimes than there is a 'Germany' which still bears the sins of the Nazis. Insofar as a people or culture may not recognize or acknowledge the sins of their forefathers, they may be lambasted for their callousness, cruelty, and stupidity; but they do not bear the guilt of the sins themselves. I find karmic talk in that context uncomfortably close to the never-ending blood feuds of opposing nationalists.

[–] NOT_RICK@lemmy.world 2 points 3 weeks ago

Ah ok. I do feel that the world is in dire need of less retribution seeking and more truth and reconciliation.

[–] BonerMan@ani.social 0 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

No. Nobody owes them anything.

[–] SassyRamen@lemmy.world -5 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

Aw Bonerman, you still sucking on Putin's little knob?

[–] BonerMan@ani.social 5 points 3 weeks ago (2 children)

What?...

Wait a second, I thought you where pro Russian.

Also im literally donating to Ukraine every month. I hate Putin and want his head on a spear to be paraded in front of his entire army. Where have I ever Said something pro Putin?

[–] aasatru@kbin.earth 3 points 3 weeks ago

I think SassyRamen was referring to bad karma specifically. You both hate Putin. And for good reasons, though none of those reasons are depicted in this post.

[–] SassyRamen@lemmy.world 3 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

I want karma to kick Russia in the nuts until they can't Russia anymore

[–] BonerMan@ani.social 2 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

Then we agree. But I want a nuke shoved up Putins ass as well.

[–] SassyRamen@lemmy.world 4 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

But his ass is currently running for US President, let's wait until he flees to Moscow first.

[–] BonerMan@ani.social 0 points 3 weeks ago

Nah trump is also up his ass, might as well be removed with the nuke as well. Or maybe the next "assassination attempt" works (let's be real besides the first one they where all staged and the first one is a 50/50 probability)
