Why in the internet so much hate about ukrainians? (Trying to understand it deeper as a Ukrainian)

Hello! When visiting internet pages on Instagram, X, and Facebook, I usually see immediate hate toward Ukrainians in the comment section. It's like real hate without irony. Can someone explain it to me?

To better understand, I am Ukrainian myself; I was born in Kyiv and lived there until the end of 2023. Then, I lived for a while in Moldova. I am a freelancer working as a designer in the IT/GameDev field, and one of my contractors invited me to visit Prague and work more closely, so I came and stayed. Beautiful city! :) I was never thinking about emigration or relocation; I had two proposals to relocate to work in Poland for game dev studios in 2020, but I always decided to stay in UA. So I, after some time in Prague, was busy with legalization and making OSVČ pay taxes and work legally. After relocating my PC, laptops, and other stuff from Moldova and Ukraine, I went to a UK remote university to learn more about design, and when I finally adapted, I finally got more free time to surf the internet. And surprisingly I started to see so much hate in comments, etc., even on videos where one German guy was jerking off on the street; the amount of hate on this German claiming that he is Ukrainian was ridiculous.

Ok, I agree; I met some rude, drunk, and awful Ukrainians in Europe, and I feel shame about that, but the common Ukrainian population is 36 million people, and 8 million in Europe, I think. Of course, you will approach bad people like in any other country.

So let's go back to Ukraine; before the full-scale war started, many Ukrainians thought that it would be easy to go to war; me too; also, I was 21 when the war started. But when you hear explosions, flying rockets, and jets, you start thinking differently. Yes, so many brave men and women get to fight immediately and are fighting now. Big respect. I can't, and I'm scared of the war. So after living 2 years in war, I decided to leave to protect myself and my wife and find a better place to work, because I simply can't work without electricity. Yes, I got some alternative variants, but it was not enough for a full workday on PC for 3D graphics and renders. In those days it was much easier for men under 25 to live in the country than now. I can never wish for anyone to experience the horrors of war; it is terrible. You can't sleep because every night rockets and drones explode near you, and there are many other war-related problems.

So I wonder why there is so much hate there. Why do many people think that Ukrainians are living free with money from the government? I know Ukrainians that have 2 jobs here, and I heard there is no money aid, especially for a grown man. Why do many people think that Ukrainians just fled there to commit crimes and live a better life? Yes, many Ukrainians received jobs with a much better salary than in Ukraine, but most of us would never leave Ukraine under other circumstances. But as a guy who works in the IT field, I know many of my field colleagues' financial situations are worse than in the homeland. As I searched the local IT job market, salaries are approximately equal. For example, my monthly income is usually around 2600-4500 USD, depending on working hours and clients. As a freelancer, I do not have a consistent salary, but I have one long-term project that makes my life more stable. So in Kyiv, I was renting a 2-room flat for 300 USD, and I needed 500-600 dollars to live, I mean buy food, go to the barber, etc., and I had a huge amount left. Here I am paying 1000 dollars for a 45-square-meter studio, and I need at least 1000 dollars to live equally like in Ukraine. Plus, I had only a 5 percent tax in Ukraine. It may sound like crying, but I like Prague, and I personally never encountered hate IRL, only from Russians here, and funny enough, they also think that we are living on your taxes. I am very thankful to the Czech people; by the way, I had very pleasant random interactions on the street, but I just do not understand the reason for the huge hate around WEB, and I want to say that we are just people like any others; some are bad, some are ok, and I feel sorry if Ukrainians did something bad for you.

I was motivated to write this post because I have found a few suitable language courses for me, and I want to start attending them, but if many people just do not like being neighbors with someone like me, I will think of relocating to somewhere less toxic place, Idk. I mean, I need an honest opinion and arguments for why you think that Ukrainians are bad.

Thanks.
