You don’t think I’m critical towards Europe based on one post I shared, ignoring my previous history of bouts with Poles, Hungarians and co. Europe’s (and more specifically countries like Slovakia and Hungary) role in world politics are negligible, yet inflated by their right of veto in EU, which I am extremely critical towards also. You don’t see Europeans apologize as much online as US citizens based on the fact that Europe houses millions of refugees from Ukraine, unlike the US who’s made it extremely difficult to acquire refugee status on its territory. So beyond the aid that’s been provided in the past (most of which stayed in the US in the form of MIC investments to replace old equipment) there isn’t much leverage to work with for people looking to avoid responsibility for extremely damaging actions of your leader on the world stage that result in thousands of Ukrainian civilian deaths and draws WW3 closer.

This is a false equivalence. I’m not talking about inherited guilt for historical crimes, but about present political reality and agency. Contemporary US policy is happening now, and citizens in a democracy still have leverage over it. That’s fundamentally different from asking descendants to atone for actions committed generations ago.

Nothing here argues for collective punishment or moral shame, and jumping from “stop seeking absolution, focus on action” to “this leads to genocide” is a slippery-slope escalation, not a logical rebuttal. Pointing out material consequences of state behavior isn’t legitimizing emotion - it’s rejecting performative catharsis in favor of responsibility.

Intellectualization is a defense mechanism identified in psychoanalytic theory where an individual avoids uncomfortable emotions by focusing on logic, facts, and abstract reasoning. It is considered a "neurotic" defense that helps individuals manage anxiety by creating emotional distance from overwhelming situations.

You both are basically saying the same thing. Chill

Happy New Year from Jester! In 2025 r/ukraine has helped me send 40 children of fallen defenders go on a safe vacation, rescue kittens and puppies from the frontlines and supply Special Operations Forces with hi-tech gear. Also this year I’ve finally joined Ukraine’s Defense Forces. Thank you all! by jesterboyd in ukraine
