(24,979 posts)Why "Ukrainians" would "celebrate" a "Czarist."
The question is why would neo-nationalist extremists want to start knocking over pieces of furniture as if it was of great sacred importance to whatever fictional nation-construct they've got in mind. Ukraine was just subjected to a coup d'etat with out and out fascists in the lead, and they are now looking to create bullshit conflicts and ethnically cleanse the country so that a coalition with neoliberals can sign a brutal austerity package with the Western imperialists. Part of that is knocking over a statue and see who complains: they are then defined as the enemy and turned into foreigners, even if they'd lived there their whole lives. Get the "Ukrainians" and "Russians" of this shared nation wanting to kill each other over symbols, and paying no attention to the capitalists and CIA who just executed a plan to destroy the place's peace and economic potentials. You're always there to cheerlead this shit on, interestingly.
