    Honestly that video is great for pointing out to westerners how they are propagandized.

    Ukrainian word for victory is literally "Over-might"

    Russian word for victory is "after the misery"

    Don't worry Ukrainians mean it like overcoming yourself. Like olympians! Also look at the evil man we have saying the russian word.

    If I was watching a fantasy movie and the one group had a word for victory that acknowled how hard-fought it would be, how much pain there is even in victory, and the other group had a word that could easily be translated as "overpowering the other" I'd say you were putting it on a bit too thick.

    Ukrainian word for hospital "place where people are healed"

    Russian word "Place of pain" [I'm 99% sure he decided to translate "trauma ward" or "ICU" or something like that instead]

    Again, one group disguises what is happening in the place, the other group acknowledges. Come on, don't make it so obvious who the good guys and the bad guys are!

    Ukrainian word for crime means "evil-doing"

    Russian word means "overstepping a line"

    So russian acknowledges that a crime is a social construct, while ukrainian makes a criminal out to be a morally reprehensible person, whose very being is at fault.

    This is like when the zionists post a video of themselves doing evil shit, thinking it will get cheered on.

      comments there are funny

      "Putin hates Ukraine because he's jealous of their superior culture"

      Dog... he hates Ukrainian supremacy and oppression of russian speakers. He's actually the more Liberal and "diverse" option in the Russian political landscape, in that he sees Russia as a federation of many nations and supports regional autonomy and multicultural acceptance. His parents were in the siege of Leningrad during the nazi invasion, he's lost multiple family members to ethno-supremacists. He hates that shit. Something westerners really don't understand. They want to support a color revolution in Russia, and they don't realize this could only be someone even more socially reactionary and sectarian. Putin's politics are considerably better than the median Russian I would say, and certainly better than the other major factions in Russian politics - the neoliberal compradors and the nationalist rightwingers.

      He's more of a centrist between the two with a strong hint of old school machine politics from his days in the USSR and KGB, and that latter influence is what has made him so effective and stopping the bleeding of Yeltsin's looting and scraping back geopolitical sovereignty.

    This is why Ukraine had to try and kill all the Russian-speaking people living in the East

    They had to get rid of the mean words at any cost

      I think they're taking the oil, as a criticism of the EU still importing fuel from Russia despite claiming to boycott?

    What is that Twitter thread, even?

    He's just doing linguistic calipers so hateful that they would make a 19th century englishman blush.

    Popular knowledge of wittgestein and critical theory have been a mistake.

    It must've been empathy and freedom the Kiev government was shelling Donetsk and Lugansk with. Thousands dead of too much brotherhood.

      I think it's supposed to be a tower of St. Vasily's Cathedral, with the dome opened to ejaculate launch sperm missiles. The sideways dome happens to be on top of another tower and it just looks phallic.

      I dunno, those little Z's on the tiny missiles and minarets? I see where you're coming from but I feel like AI wouldn't have figured that out, there's too much authorial intent here. I don't detect enough nonsense blob for me to think that, but maybe they generated the original then fixed it in photoshop.

        A bunch of the text loooks very suspect and has several misspellings that point me in that direction.

        Edit: I went and found the artist. I don't think it's AI slop, but it's so soulless it may as well be.

        The primary media are easel graphics, mural art, digital art, and multimedia installation. Since February 24, 2022, Mykhailo has created military posters supporting Ukraine and volunteers. He believes in the power of visual signs because they can ignore geographical and language barriers, making their way straight to the human heart.

        Lol

    Wow. It's fucked that Ukraine is still using fortified walls and plate armour in the age of hypersonic missiles. They should use some of all that money we sent them to modernise their army.

    Also, why is there the symbol for Christ on a moneybag, is that supposed to be the Vatican or something?
