    medieval origins of Ukrainians

    Lemme guess, it’s the “ancient ukr” shit that got introduced under Yushenko. “Ukrainians are noble European Slavs and true inheritors of the glorious European Kievan Rus, that got backstabbed and destroyed by evil Asiatic Muscovy horde, that has absolutely no relationship to the Glorious European Rus, and is actually just golden horde Mongols”.

    Ugh.

        I’m seeing a lot of people, perhaps many unknowingly, parroting race science talking points since this started.

          Don’t call it science tho. That just gives them legitimacy. They use none of the principles of the scientific method to come to their “conclusions”, they have never had a proper peer review, or use of the hypothesis-prediction-experiment-observation model of scientific discovery (aka: you come up with a hypothesis, you make a prediction based on that hypothesis, you design and perform an experiment, you compare and contrast the observations made during your experiment against your prediction), never revised their theories on discovery of new data, no analysis of statistical significance or causation vs. correlation on the little observations they do make, race science is, by definition, not science.

          perhaps many unknowingly

          They don’t care anymore. A lot of them are just outright going “so what if it’s Nazism, is Nazism really that bad? If PUTIN has a problem with Nazism then those Nazis must’ve been doing something right!”
