Ansar Allah: Has a fucked up antisemitic flag that says "A Curse Upon the Jews" on it but is also acting to help stop the genocide of Palestinians
Redditors: "you cannot critically support these people despite their flaws while condemning their antistemitism and homophobia or you're an Islamist red fascist"
Ukrainian banderites: "Death to the Orcs, a curse upon the Jews, death to the Muslims, glory to Fascism. Russians are savage untermensch with a fundamentally violent culture", commits awful war crimes
redditors: if you do not give these people unlimited supplies of weapons and support them utterly then you are a Putinist. Also if you complain about them saying racial slurs constantly you're also a Putinist.
yeah, at least Kautsky read Marx first before getting Marx wildly wrong
Not to mention actually participating in politics instead of whatever the fuck webcam does
Point number 2 stands out to me. Like, when I say Russians are orcs, I say it in a way that means the army, not civilians. Hell, I don’t know anybody that means civilians when they say orc
Ukrainians will frequently call Russian civilians that support the invasion orks as well.
Given the atrocities committed by the Russian military, I can't fault them.
Then again I'm the kinda guy that laughs at videos of orks on fire trying unsuccessfully to flee from drones hunting them, or when yet another T-80 joins the Russian Space Program when it tosses its turret.
Games workshop and its consequences have been a disaster for humanity
"Oh I don't mean [Deeply racist, vile implication of words], I mean it in a way like [Extremely generous, forgiving, neutral interpretation at best]. Everyone means that when they say [Nasty thing]"
If you've reached the point where you're unironically saying this, you're basically a member of the KKK without having a membership card yet
This is still posting.
I did not want to click that.
This is not just some cringe attempt to dehumanize them because of the war. Ukrainians were calling them orcs for years now even before the official invasion because.
- Saying Russians are responsible for fake separatism in Donbas had them banned on social media for hate speech because it mentions nationality. So they started using LOTR term.
- They come from the east.
Literally "asiatic horde" logic
"Yeah, I'm a follower of the guy that was caught with a bunch of bestiality CP, now listen to my patronizing ding-bat opinions about world politics."
Vaush, the streamer that the linked subreddit is based around. Around the start of this year (or maybe it was around the end of last year, internet stuff makes the memory hazy) he was going through his folders on stream and people saw his porn stash, recognized the names of the artists as "lolicon artists" specializing in horse-related bestiality, etc.
There were several streams on that "H3" guy's channel that brought a lot of attention to it outside of the typical online politics circles. He was getting roasted for it for weeks, but then I guess a big chunk of his audience decided they were cool watching him until he fully Mr. Hands-es himself and dies.
if i had to come up with a scenario to prove "whiteness" and race in general was a construct then the quickness in which the whiteness was stripped from russians after the invasion of ukraine would sound too on the nose and unbelievable if it wasn't exactly what happened in reality
To be fair, russia was the western world's greatest boogeyman and adversary for a very long time.
