I was just doing research into my ethnicity and family history and stuff and im pretty sure my lineage is like the ppl that stalin wasnt directly targeting but who got cought in the mix anyway. So basically im lezgin and we're originally native the the northern caucauses mountains and in the modern day the group is typically devided between russia and azerbaijan but my family on my dads side has been in kazakhstan since my great grandpa and i was like trying to figure out how we got there. I thought that it was kinda like what happened to america with the manifest destiny. i found that kazakhstan was where stalin was deporting ppl to when he was on his rampage of accusing ppl of working for other nations and trying to kick non slavic ppl out of the ussr. the thing is that lezgins as a group were never directly the target of his deportations.
"1943, October 12: The Supreme Soviet issued a decree ordering the deportation of all the Karachays, a Turkish-speaking people inhabiting the North Caucasus. The USSR accused them of collaboration with the German army, which had been occuping Karachay territory for the previous six months....
1944, February 23: The Soviet government deported the Chechens and the Ingush, two Muslim peoples of the North Caucasus. Although the Germans had only occupied a region in the extreme northwest of the Republic, Chechens and Ingush were accused of betrayal and massive collaboration with the German occupiers, like the other punished peoples....
1944, March 7: The deportation of the 38,000 Balkars, a small Turkish people living near the Elbruz Mountain in Northern Caucasus, began. "
I think these would have been the groups they might have been tragetting and some lezgins got caught in the mix since we existed in the same areas. talk about catching strays.
Anyway let this be a lesson. white ppl who advocate for deportaion are really just sealing their own toomb cuz a lot of white ppl are more racially ambiguous than they would like to admit. not even to mention that the criteria for who is "white enough" will always be changing so by advocating for deportation u really are just screwing over ur own future.
But it's kinda how trump is doing to the US what stalin did to the USSR. trying to mass deport Mexicans based on their skin tone, and there will probably also gonna be white ppl who are gonna have to learn the hard way that what u allow the gov to do to the minorities they will do to u as well some day.
I'm not actually in the US but its horrifying to know that "where ever the US goes Canada follows" cuz canada has been trying to also amp up the anti-immegration propoganda lately. I guess its nice to have a heads up of the chaos so we can start fighting it now, before they start to actually impliment any deportaion policies.
Anyway what's ur guys family history? like how did u get to where u are rn? were u Indigenous to the land or did u move?

i am related to a national famous poet who is anti-Semitic in the 1800's and had their brain left on a window sill after they died 💪👍🔥✨💖
oh damn, i didnt even know anti-semitism went back that far. do u know what they were saying against Jews? also what country was this in? that is some really interesting stuff.

antisemitism went back basically since Judaism has been conjured, it was crazy in medieval time Europe
this was in romania, he is the national poet of romania. Mihai Eminescu, basically romanian shakespeare or smth.
He was right wind and super nationalist like he changed his surname to sound "more romanian" he was really against jewish people " "the Jew does not deserve any rights anywhere in Europe because he is not working"
