Liberals are totally unhinged!
Bandera Smoothie
Cool, just glorifying a fascist who helped carry out a genocide, normal.
I mean... It is Canada. What did you expect? :shrug-outta-hecks:
Fair enough. I think I was mostly just surprised to see someone who knows Bandera's name use it in something other than a condemnation, but I always forget that there's a large right-wing Urainian diaspora community in :kkkanada: .
They probably don't know who Bandera actually is and just heard about "Bandera Smoothies" from the internet. Libs live in a timeless bubble devoid of context.
Of course if they do know who Bandera is someone should [REDACTED} in Minecraft.
Figures. Someone ought to go ask them which side they fought for in WWII.
why do you think their family left? A war crimes tribunal probably asked them that question

I wonder what would happen if a legit open neo-Nazi came to that bar and started talking about how cool Bandera was for killing all those Jews and how it's nice to see someone else who supports him. Would the owner possibly have an "Are we the baddies" moment?
Sounds like someone should go a-LARP-ing.
Enter A leftist wearing a blue and yellow shirt as a disguise: "Slava Ukraine! Gimme 5 Bandera smoothies. drinks shot I love Bandera! Only things he hated more than Commies were Jews and Romanians . drinks shot That guy could smell a jew from 100 meters." Drinks shot* "Seriously! read up on how bad ass Bandera and other Ukrainian Nazis were." nazi salute "Slava Ukraine, Heil Bandera!" Drinks shot Throws last shot on the floor Exit.
Before the special operation began that bar would get destroyed for promoting nazism but sadly the "just a few nazis" line has taken hold and now nazis have been rehabilitated in the average western mind. Its boggling to think that 6 months ago the phrase "just a few nazis" would get you smacked by nearly anyone and now we are here.
These are the same people who lose their minds if you even joke about fare-dodging on the subway.
These are the same people who think MLK Jr. should've toned down his rhetoric a bit.
These are the same people who call the cops when they see someone shoplift baby food.
bombing of Kremlin
Fucking bloodthirsty ghouls want a nuclear holocaust for a country they only heard existed a month ago
Yeah, but have you considered Putin inflicted :cheeto-man: on their gentle civil society?
Love to see integral component of the holocaust Stepan Bandera staring out at me from a fucking drinks menu.
This place is run by Ukrainians, which makes the Bandera shot very :soviet-hmm:. Also, this location used to be Bauhaus, Uwe Boll's restaurant.
Uwe Boll
Now there's a name I haven't heard in ages. I was wondering how he managed to make so many movies, and apparently it was due to some sort of German tax loophole:
Hollywood has a long history of sourcing international investors for projects. Often you will find that filming in a certain country offers incentives and tax breaks not offered in the US. Usually though, you’ll find that in order to be entitled to them, you have to meet certain conditions, for example filming in that particular country and/or employing a certain percentage of native workers as your film crew. Germany has these incentives but, crucially, no such restrictive requirements put upon them. Germans can fund your movie and you can make it wherever and however you like.
But crucially, the bizarre tax laws in Germany mean that any wealthy Germans who invest in a movie can write-off the production cost, delay paying their taxes and generally reduce their tax burden. When you disseminate all the boring legal business law surrounding it the bottom line is this – the German investors in a movie only pay tax on any RETURNS the movie makes, their investment is 100% deductible, so the minute the movie makes a profit, said investor has to start paying tax. Plus the investors can actually borrow money to put towards investment and write that off too. Assuming you’re a sharp enough businessman you have a potential goldmine in the making; a way to make money from investing in bad movies...
I don't follow the scheme 100%. I get that, for his German investors, if their investment is less than or equal to their tax burden, they basically break even since the investment loss offsets their taxes. But even so, in the case of investing in a Boll production, isn't that a major opportunity cost? It's sort of like letting your money sit in a no-interest savings account and losing money to inflation when you could be investing in something that actually makes money. Is it more that German investors were much less scrupulous in investing in movies because the risk was much lower, and since the "losses" weren't so bad he wouldn't get blackballed among German investors? Or do those investors actually profit from the scheme as well?
On the Hollywood end, do they just not care as long as the money is put up? I would think there's still the issue of opportunity cost, with his movies taking the place of potentially more profitable productions, but maybe I underestimate the power of corporate accounting. I imagine Boll still must have quickly developed a reputation, so the actors he got would either take any job for a check or didn't have good agents.
From what i remember, he retired from directing to open this restaurant, which is the only place hes gotten positive reviews from. The food was pretty good according to a friend of mine.
Thought this was normal lib shit until I saw "banderite smoothie"
Thinking now about how the only thing separating :frothingfash: 🇺🇦 from :liberalism: is the former knows where Ukraine is on a map
I would but I can't seem to find any and when I ask, Lenin just laughs :lenin-laugh:
i can't even get a white russian at the CRAFT COCKTAIL PLACE i go to feels like shit just want to get drunk off milk
This is the first drink I ever ordered because it's the only drink I remembered (Thanks, Big Lebowski!). Turns out in real life nobody orders these....
Here in [AMERICAN BIG CITY] shots are regularly $8-9 :agony-minion:
Fastest way to becoming an alcoholic is doing the math on your bar tab relative to the liquor store.
That's the norm in most of Canada. Canadian provinces have absolutely massive "sin" taxes on alcohol—frequently exceeding the value of the alcohol itself. For example, in Alberta you can buy a 750 mL bottle of well vodka for about $18 to $20. Almost $14 of that is tax.
That’s just called responsible governance, sweaty. If we want people to be healthier, we have to tax them on every little treat!
Is this Ukraine stuff more commonplace in Canada? I feel like I've been seeing more posts from there with stuff like this.
Yes. Canada took in a large number of Ukrainian "freedom fighters" after World War 2. The current Deputy Prime Minister just can't stop praising her brave Grandpapa who stood up against the communists*.

By being a member of the Nazi Party.
Didn't he run a Nazi propaganda newspaper printed on a press that was stolen from a Jewish newspaper by the Nazis?
Even before that KKKanada welcomed a lot of Ukrainians to colonize the prairies in the 19th century era because the climate there is similar to Ukraine so there's a strong Ukrainian culture base there. The Nazis stuff is a direct result of rehabilitating Ukrainian Nazis though
It's all kinds of widespread where I am. Houses have ukranian flags flying, almost every business is cashing in like this. It's pretty fucked up
