@Tom_Rowsell Anatolian ancestry is as "European" as Europeans are native in North America. They displaced the original inhabitants (WHG's) and now some want to larp as the OG Euros while being Near Eastern colonizers, which y'all are lol
@skisizin@GattsuYT I'm fine with being a honorary Sand Negro / Dune Coon (despite the fact there ain't any sand in Georgia even on the beaches), as long as we get the EU privileges and economic benefits
@NTsadzikidze@Mikiashvili_M ...and today we don't need Russia anymore to act as a conduit for European ideas to flow in. In fact, Russia is a hindrance for that.
@lupicambuta@ThatchEffendi Because the Russian colonialism demanded it. You don't have the right to rule unless you have a "civilizing mission". Ironic, because Russians themselves were 'demotes' to being oriental in the Victorian times and this made them even more eager to orientalize others
