Now let’s compare what we share in common, with what we don’t share in common. It won’t be long until you are forced to see this clear fact.

*Language:* We don’t share the same language as you. They know how to speak basic Russian while we don’t even know how to say basic phrases in Lithuanian language. Our language is Russian, and ours alone. They know how to speak your language, and how to mimic you, but they don’t have the same basic knowledge in your language that we do. Since our language is Russian. It’s like you are trying to deny that English is English in England, or that French is French in France, but Russian is not Russian in Russia? It’s insane.<br><br>*Religion:* We all know that Lithuanian is Catholic, and Russian atheist. Even if they are atheist, they are generally more part of the large part of the Russian world that rejects religion. Particularly Christianity. We share the same mind. We don’t like to judge you for your religion. But we have a problem if you try to force that religion on us, and take away our right to be different in a post-Soviet society. Or to represent us as such. But there are plenty of Catholics in Russia too you see, so it’s not like there is a exaggeration that exists between us, since they don’t even have the unique right to practice their religion that they seem to be entitled to since they don’t even recognize the fact that they should respect our freedom from religion, just like we respect you to have yours. But you don’t seem to respect our right to be different from you. And that’s a rejectionist ideology that is basically a form of fascism. It means you want to erase our right to be ourselves. Think about it.<br><br>*Geography:* We share the same geography as Russia, by being located east of the Dneiper River. We also share the basic east-west geographic location on the world map. We have east and west in our names, and we are located west and east, but we are both located in a location that is southeast of your most eastern region. So we are east of you actually. We share the same geography as Russia. We are all Slavic. They don’t have the same trade relationship withKaliningrad, or with Belarus. They are both landlocked and isolated from Königsberg, and it’s port. We share the same access to the Baltic Sea as the rest of the countries in Eastern Europe. Another fact you try to deny and lie about. We are not landlocked, we are not isolated from the sea like a freaking island. We are a port city. And we have access to the sea. And they would love to take that away from us just like they want to take away our language, and our right to practice our religion just the way we are. That’s why they need to be abolished.<br><br><br>*Culture:* They don’t share the same culture as you. They are Eastern Slavs, and they don’t share any ties to the Southern Slavs that you have ties to. The Balts have a very unique culture that has been lost to the similarity that they have to the Slavs, and it’s true that your culture is similar to the Polish culture. Or you are even closer to the Czechs than you are to us. Czech Republic is a Southern Slavic country. We are Slavic too. But we are Eastern Slavs. And there is a big difference between the Slovaks, and Czechs, and the Southern Balkan Slavs on the one hand; and Russian, Ukrainians, and Belarusians on the other. But Czech, Polish, and Lithuanian culture is closer together than we are to you. If anything, you are a threat to our culture. You want to force your culture on us. Our language, our religion, our right to be who we are. You would love to take that away from us. But it’s not going to work. Our language, our religion, our culture is Russian. And you can’t change that. It’s not your right to change that. It’s not your right to change who we are. We are not Lithuanians. We aren’t even Balts. We are Russians. And our culture is Russian culture. We are going to fight for our right to be Russian. No matter what it takes. It’s who we are.
