The Indian rice export ban, the war in Ukraine and El Niño are combining to create a "doom loop" for the world's poorest people, as staple food prices soar.

This reads like an ironic shitpost. No one can seriously believe that one person saying mean things can rationalize an invasion that's killing thousands and hurtsling food security for millions.

    Tbf "Asians are subhuman" is what the nazis used to justify killing millions of Russians, Ukrainians, and other USSR ethnicities. Millions of ukrainian red army soldiers are rolling in their graves.

    1. I can't find one source for this that doesn't come back to elrisala.

    2. Even if this story is true, one asshole doesn't justify the genocide that Russia is committing in Ukraine.

    3. Even if this story is true, it happened long after Russia started their "special military operation" and can't be used to justify it.

    I can point you towards many racist political figures throughout history who weren't fascist. Racist is not the same as fascist. Sure, fascism usually requires creating an in group and an out group, but it's also a lot more than that and needs to be larger than one person. Even if this person is a fascist, it still doesn't even mean anything. He doesn't have the political power to do anything fascist with.
