    The fucking orcs were setting up whites only bars. Good for Sri Lanka for kicking them out.

      They didn’t kick out that minority who ran racist businesses, they kicked out all the 288k people who reneged on their “duty” to go kill ukrainians and die for putin’s aspirations.

        The fact that unregistered illegal Russian businesses had become an actual problem there indicates that Sri Lanka - a very poor nation that almost went bankrupt last year - is not equipped to deal with an influx of that size.

        If you want someone to take on 288 thousand refugees I agree with you, but it shouldn’t be Sri Lanka.

        Tourism minister Harin Fernando told Daily Mirror that the ministry has been receiving complaints of some Russian tourists running unregistered and illegal businesses in the southern part of the country.

        That’s a wrong amount. Real figure is unknown, though surely much lower. Check the article.

        Maybe instead of living the peaceful life for a few years until the war ends, they’ll have to go hold their own country accountable.

          It would be ideal, but this is not something that can be solved with votes and protests. If I were in their shoes, I certainly wouldn’t be the brave one who would give his life to rebel against tyranny.
          It’s not their responsibility either, they just had the bad luck to be born there.

            It may be a conversation worth having in a 1 to 1, but internet denizens crave hate and hate as much as they can when they can.

            Usually I get downvoted for “let’s come together” comments that say things like all Israelis and Russians shouldn’t die in a fire, because they are not all bad, when people are calling for culling them. The internet is weird.

                It’s the Mongols who allowed Ghengis Khan to commit his shit.

                Uh oh, now you should be worried considering his lineage is in most of us. Those damn Mongol ancestors of yours. Why were your ancestors so complicit in the rape and pillage of continents? I think that makes you complicit, too, by your logic.

          It’s not “few” orcs that have crossed the border to Ukraine. It’s not “few” orcs celebrating the ethnic cleansing of Ukraine. It’s the collaborative efforts of a nation

            Should i blame you because your government openly support genocide in gaza? I could but we both know that the government and people in power are the ones to blame, most people are feed up on the propaganda these criminals spread to gain wealth and power.

              That entirely depends on whether OP you’re replying to cheers for the destruction of Gaza and their government being complicit in it.

        It sounds like the “orcs” this person was referring broke the tolerance contract first, by setting up white only bars. I see no problem here at all. Bigots aren’t deserving of any sort of civility.

          So if a gang of African American people broke into my house and called me a cracker, does that grant me the right to call them by a derogatory name?
