Political fractions on this forum

[benda]

This concerns "Politics", "Open Board", "History".
In fact these categories are divided between political fractions.

These are:
pro-Polish;
pro-Russian;
extremely Ukrainian nationalistic;
liberal anti-communistic and pro-Western.

I won't name members of these - if you are familiar enough to the forum you will easily get it yourself.
There are people who don't enter either fraction but there are few of them.
It is "fight of clans" no better than in Ukraine in 1990-s.

Hmm!May be I am with you I feel Ukrainian that is all even though I was born and raised in Argentina.
Not nationalistic nor the other side either yet do not consider Russians as our own blood but I have learned to accept and tolerate that
Strangely enough whenever I meet an Ukrainian born Russian speaker he/she tells me what I fine Russian family name I have.
Ukrainian speakers expect me to be "chorny" A chemou?! Ia nie znaiu.
That doesn't cheese me off since we were the founders of Kievan-Russ then again it is history.
New things come into play that I am more interested in such aas the future of Ukraine as a nation perhaps I should have learned a bit more of our language and joined a political party that would have brought a new perspective into the political scene.

"fight of clans"

So, you believe that people of different backgrounds and nationalities exchanging ideas and opinions is a fight.
Really.

[benda]

That is masked behind jokes.
That exchanging is rather persistent.

Have you any idea how simple the world would be if it were possible to put almost everyone into only four political groups.
Lets ignore for the moment the fact that almost everyone has at least four totally opposing political agandas depending on the subject, and how it effects them and their dearest.
The people here are far more complex than you give them credit for.

[benda]

Of course they are.
But it is more useful to pretend you are simpler than you really are.

[lenire]

Now I am totally confused. You think that people around here are going about trying to appear simpler than they are.
Dont you mean thay they are trying to appear smarter, more complex and brighter than they really are.
