    I still cannot get over the Vogue photoshoots. Like - ok, so his wife is in several outfits. This means that she had time to change, do makeup, pose, etc. But so did Zelensky, considering he's in the pictures. They also did interviews for the magazine. These things don't get wrapped up within an hour.

    In other words, for some reason Zelensky chose to remain in his "relentless commander who's too busy with war to care about appearances" persona even though it's clear that he had ample time to do all that for a fucking photoshoot. Who the hell is falling for this propaganda? Westerners, of course, but surely Ukrainians see the first lady in expensive, elaborate outfits and their president in a tshirt next to her and think "this guy is fucking annoying." My only other guess is it's pushing the subconscious narrative of the unkempt warrior male who's too busy with violence so that females can stay safe and worry about makeup and hair.

      Zelensky opens up his closet.

      It's all the same green shirt and pants, like a cartoon character.

        He's doing the Steve Jobs thing, something all great men do. Don't you get it. Steve Jobs, Zelensky, and Norville Rogers. Great men, single outfit, frees the mind for more important decisions.

      The reason he's always in those faux military outfits is because zelensky has more sponsorships than a formula 1 driver, and rumours are a neo-Nazi clothing company (CW: lots of Nazi imagery in that article, obviously) set him up with a deal to wear them.

        Have to admit, if these weren't fash I'd say some of these patches go hard (CW: Nazi shit)

                Pretty much every ancient society had fail-son bands going around raiding shit, idk why the Norse get singled out for it any more than Gaels or Lakota or Scythians.

                    True. But like with most ancient cultures, most were just fucking goat farmers or whatever. Their mythology is cool tho.

                        I was really sad when I learned that the story about a crossdressing Thor pretending to marry a Jotun is possibly a Christian parody made to ridicule and insult their competition.

                  Is it because they did it to the British and the French who were literate enough to write about it and ended up becoming powerful enough for their historical beefs to matter?

            The same way Slavic anti-communists begged daddy Germany to come protec them from da evil commies, modern Slavic pagan Nazi nerds worship the gods of Germanic slavers.

        That's interesting. There are never bad actions, just bad people. And bad people can change to fit any narrative
