  • Thank you very much for your response (and the invitation)! Although I’m still left wondering about the purpose of listing the subjective case. Your approach makes more sense, “you can use these” and list several options. But why do people list, for example “she/her”? Everybody knows what the subjective case of “she” is.


  • Since it’s ok to ask (I hope), and I guess this is more of a general question rather than personal, but does the order of listed pronouns matter? Is it, like, in order of preference? Mostly I see the second pronoun to just be the objective case form of the first, but yours isn’t. Why do people even list the objective case when it matches the subjective case?

    There’s plenty of valid criticism towards Ukrainian government, which I have explicitly agreed to. Them being a Nazi, however is a false claim at best and deliberate propaganda at worst. If somebody is challenging your false claim, and showing that you’re wrong, it doesn’t mean that they are taking it personally. But of course you’re gonna stick to your tactic of ignoring my arguments, and in addition now throw in an ad hominem attack. Ukraine is not even “my country”, I’m not a citizen and can’t vote in elections, so I can’t even “take it personally”.

    And to answer your question, I would easily admit that the government is Nazi, if I saw at least 1 solid point proving that fact. So since I haven’t observed, and you failed to provide any, I’ll have to insist that your claim is blatantly false.

    Also yes, you got me, I’m a middle-eastern-looking, brown haired, dark-skinned Nazi supporter. (/s for absolute clarity)
    Every shot you take is a miss.

    To use your own tactic against you (but unlike your attempts, effectively), earlier you claimed that “Ukrainians call themselves Nazi”. Now you’re saying that you don’t call Ukrainians Nazis, but only the government. And I’m the desperate one, countering your every argument with facts that you ignore, while all you do is attempt to find inconsequential loopholes in my statements to declare yourself victorious. Meanwhile, I’m yet to see even a single substantial argument that would indicate that Ukrainian government is Nazi. So far your arguments were:

    • “There are Nazis in Ukraine”. Yeah, but a couple Nazis doesn’t make the gov or the people Nazis.
    • “They named streets after Nazis”. Just because a street was named after a person who was possibly a Nazi doesn’t make the gov Nazi. Especially considering the fact that other streets are named after Jews.
    • “Gov contains authoritarian elements”. Sure, doesn’t make it Nazi.

    Simply repeating something doesn’t make it true, you have to back up your claims. Instead you just gloss over all the counter arguments I make, like there being plenty of Jews in Ukraine and the president himself being a Jew, that completely invalidate your claims.

    I have done no such thing and I didn’t push any lie. Believe it or not, we don’t personally go around surveying battalions.
    – Hey, guys. Are you Nazis? No? Are you sure? Well, okay then.

    Nazis exist in every country, but in non-Nazi societies, they don’t manifest themselves, just like in Ukraine. You don’t see Nazis on the streets wearing swastikas, or oppression of Jews or whatever. And up until the war started nobody even knew about Azov being Nazis.

    But I can see from the way you react to this information and ignore the key elements, that you’re determined to just stick to your misinformed opinion, no matter what I say. So perhaps this is pointless. Let me know if I’m mistaken, and you genuinely want to shed the misinformation you’ve been fed.
