Beyond parody. And so many western libs just, completely unaware and "celebrating" this. Brainwashed
Courage is contagious
And that's why every man between 18 and 40 was conscripted right?
Yes, and trans women as well because Ukraine is a queerphobic shithole that doesn't allow changing your legal gender without bottom surgery, which is in turn also medically gatekept and paywalled.
Up to 60 or something and they even had to let criminals join as well because they were desperate.
Also you know this is all about bravery when there are constant reports of families looking for missing soldiers(read: dead and the government wont tell them) and even entire brigades on Ukrainian telegram.
Real magazine heads knew Time was bullshit when they didn't give Person of the Year to Osama bin Laden.
Would have been a :chad: move.
But it would have put me in really strange company come 2006.
And Chiang Kai-shek, Kissinger, Pierre Laval, the Ayatollah, Reagan, Bush, John Paul II, Churchill, Westmoreland . . . it's already a rogue's gallery.
So they made a nazi leader time's person of the year
again?
umm he's Jewish sweetie so there's no way he'd work with neo-nazis also there's no neo-nazis in Ukraine and if you say they are you're doing propaganda for Putin :maybe-later-honey:
Time-Life was always a CIA cutout. They used to issue press passes to agents as cover.
No surprise.
Correction - Volodomyr Zelenskyyyyy is quote: "The Spirit of Ukraine and TIME’s 2022 Person of the Year"
Also look at the "Eastern Europe" filter they have on all of the photos, the borderline-luminescant blue and yellow of the Ukr flag looks so fucking drab in every one.
God what a strange thing. The weird gif montage at the start, the melodramatic thriller tone, that cover image. It's honestly just bizarre to me how much different my reaction to seeing that stuff is from the general public's.
This'll look great in about six year's time when it comes out in the wash that Green T-Shirt Guy and his cohorts made off with a few billion of Uncle USA's birthday money.
Musk tanked his chances when he ruined every journalist's favorite website.
guarantee he does something in 2023 that nabs it for him
eh whatever
it’s meant for the most newsworthy person of the year, not the “best”. i don’t really disagree with this even.
Read the article for the :brainworms: . And for psychological damage, the way this is received on :reddit-logo:
Hitler appeared on the cover of TIME on multiple occasions — most famously perhaps on Jan. 2, 1939, when he was named Man of the Year. That choice abided by the dictum of TIME founder Henry Luce, who decreed that the Man of the Year — now Person of the Year — was not an honor but instead should be a distinction applied to the newsmaker who most influenced world events for better or worse. In case that second criterion was lost on readers, the issue that named Hitler dispensed with the portrait treatment that cover subjects typically got. Instead he was depicted as a tiny figure with his back to the viewer, playing a massive organ with his murdered victims spinning on a St. Catherine’s wheel. Underneath the stark, black-and-white illustration was the caption, “From the unholy organist, a hymn of hate.”
Does Zelensky get the death organ treatment? I’m guessing not
Well, TIME better hope he's not still in power when the US decides a bunch of occult/pagan groups, recently flush with cash & weapons from the Western support of ultranationalist/Nazi groups in UA, across the post-energy crisis, less-stable European continent need a stern lesson in :freedom-and-democracy:
Cuz if he is, he's gonna be the next :saddam-hussein:
We'll see what happens, but I'd not be the least bit surprised if this ends up just being a rerun of the Soviet-Afghan War and all the fallout from that but against the backdrop of Eastern continental Europe instead of the Middle East. New avenues for destabilization, occupation, and never-ending security crises demanding US taxpayer money be laundered to PMCs and defense contractors.
We might have gotten a tiny preview of it when they accidentally blew up 2 people in Poland. Imagine what the post Russo-Ukraine War landscape of Ukraine looks like... Surveillance equipment, weapons, and JSOC training for Azov going on right now... Even the current generation of CIA flunkies could probably pull off Slavic Nazi ISIS.
