      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.

          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.

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

                  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)

            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.
