    Stop dehumanising hundreds of millions of people that brought us cultural and scientific advancements over the past centruies, forever enriching the human civilization.

    Yes, currently Russia is a corrupt shithole on it’s way to conquer Ukraine (which is, thankfuly, failing to do), but that does not make people living there “orcs”. This kind of hate speach leads to severe dehumanisstion and eventual ethnic violence against the targeted group.

      I didn’t see any mention of Russian people in their comment other than referring to them being victims of bad policy. It’s all clearly targeted at the Russian leadership/government.

        They can not create. Only destroy. They have no working system for society or regulations. It is orc behavior.

        Please…

      You can stop conflating Russia with the USSR at any time. It’s a false comparison.

      True, but it has always been a part of the Russian mind set that they are a master race and have a full right to veto their neighbors sovereignty, by force if necessary. Although saying this we must remember that not all who live inside Russian borders truly consider themselves Russian. It’s a big country with a large ammount of different ethnicities. Many that are treated like second rate citizens or even subhumans. There are “Russians” and then there are Russians. In this case I’d take the innocence of the common man with a grain of salt.
