    I usually post “Russian propaganda”, but today Ukrainian propaganda got so fucking ridiculous that I want to post it, I hope you don’t mind :)

    Ukraine DOES NOT have open borders, I don’t think even the most liberal sources will deny that, . But here are several links (first articles from the search results) just in case:

    Ukraine DOES NOT have " competitive political space", Zelensky banned opposing political parties. Again even liberal medias do not deny that, they merely justify it “bbbbut those are the bad ones!”.

    https://www.rferl.org/a/ukraine-law-bans-pro-russia-parties-zelenskiy-signs/31849737.html

    Ukraine DOES NOT have “competitive information space”, Zelensky tries his best to silence any opposition.
    https://www.nytimes.com/2024/06/18/world/europe/ukraine-press-freedom.html
    https://thehill.com/homenews/3795160-zelensky-signs-controversial-law-expanding-government-power-to-regulate-media/

    And don’t get me started on the elections… Which are of course totally unnecessary because Zelensky is not a dictator and everybody supports him anyway…

      You post is basically anti Ukraine. How is this not ““russia propaganda”” and is ““Ukraine propaganda””. Your post history doesn’t contain anti russia “propaganda”.

      Ukraine does have open borders. One exception for military ages males doesn’t undo it.

      During wartime with russia it makes sense to suspend parties with ties with russia. They are the bad ones because they have ties with russia. Russia disapproved this move basically legitimizing it. The states have done nothing to stop Russia’s influence in their political system and now they are acting in Russia’s interest.

      Ukraine is under martial law. If zelesky “tried his best to silence the opposition” he wouldn’t just “sign” a slightly oppressive law (that has already pass from a parliament?).

      Don’t bother answering with a half nonsensical answer. This reply is in the interest of people reading the comments

        USA never had any slavery. One exception for black folks doesn’t undo it.

        Fuck, that’s pure genius.

          USA had slavery because USA had slaves.

          Ukraine has open borders because anyone can pass except Ukrainian men if military age.

            I don’t even know how to comment that. Liberals are fucked up animals.
