    Or maybe all we actually see is the threat of violence. That guy should be arrested. Anything else is speculation but hopefully the police investigate after arresting him

      You don’t have to prove anything to me but I hope you reflect on whether you’d be playing such Devil’s advocate for another person on another topic. A Russian being aggressive to people collecting aid for Ukraine maybe?

      You can say what you want to me, but really ask yourself.

        I do know many fine Russians, including plenty who are horrified by their country’s imperial ambitions.

        Same thing. He should be arrested and served justice for his actions, and Lemmy has no call to lay the atrocities of his country’s leadership on him, without at least finding out more

          You’ve missed a key part of my point, though. If that Russian was shouting “say Ukraine again! I’ll kill you!” at people associated with an aid group, would you assume he’s an anti-imperialist Russian good guy or would you assume he’s fully bought in to nationalism and aggression towards his perceived enemy?
