Its actually not racism to call them orcs. Its actually super valid to fearmonger about how the evil slavic horde is just foaming at the mouth ready to invade the entire world, despite the fact France has invaded more places since the 90s.
Misuse of the word “racist” aside, if you’re generalizing about the inherent qualities of the Russian people, that’s still bigotry. If you’re calling out negative aspects of their laws, government, or culture, that’s not bigotry, that’s constructive criticism. If you’re pointing out the mistakes of their history that’s education to bring awareness and hoodlums prevent recurrence. If you’re calling all speech that is negative in any way about Russia “russophobia”, or “racism”, regardless of the nature of that speech, then you’re a Russian apologist and stooge.
It’s pretty simple: speech that displays mistrust, dislike, or hate for the inherent traits of a people is bigotry. Speech that displays mistrust, dislike, or hate for ideals and actions is just disagreement/politics.
Russian bot accounts be like
Proving the meme correct, lmao
Idk I just find it weird how every time Ukraine blows Russian infrastructure all the anti ukraine and pro Russian memes show up
I don’t see the connection, opposition to Kiev and critical support for Russia is an ongoing thing. You still proved OP correct by dehumanizing them.
it sounds like you need expand your news sources outside of the western echo chamber.
Why do you constantly make memes about fake scenarios that make you mad?
You’re like one of those MAGA raving lunatics making up stories about “liberals.” The only difference is that instead of also coming up with fake ragebait scenarios about trans and gay people you make up bullshit about other leftists like anarchists. Are you a fed? Are you purposefully trying to stir up division?
Step outside, take a breath, stop focusing on hatred and start focusing on building community with good people. It’ll make you happier and it’s much more effective praxis than whatever the hell this kind of posting is
this is about liberals, not anarchists or other leftist. although from my personal experience ive seen ultra leftists and anarchists do the same shit, pretty rarely tho
Yeah constructive criticism like calling them
the slavic hordethe vile hununtermenschenorcs or making up stories about them not having paved roads or flushing toilets. The enemy is weak and also strong
Yeah you know about these Russians, right??
With their…
Blonde hairs and their… wide stance
?
Anybody?
Orcs.
I feel the ‘orcs’ that Ukrainians use is more like the nationalistic '‘kraut’ or ‘boche’ from WW1&2
You’d have to bend yourself into a singularity if you want to equate that to racism
Their vile racism, our playful bywords
You might want to enlighten yourself by talking to some Ukrainians and Russians though.
They almost invariably see themselves as the same (ethnic) people
“They’re from Russia so they’re bad and now we can easily kill them.” That’s the whole gist. Same playbook with Africans, Arabs, Latin Americans, etc etc.
My dude is spiraling.
They are projecting racism? Against whom?
I like to use it as a kind of gauge. Every time this guy starts spamming we know Ukraine blew up a refinery or something. The more vocal they get, the more damage. But don’t engage too much, we mustn’t feed the trolls.
You take negative feedback as a positive because you’re in a cult. 8 years ago you would have been able to identify this trait in Trump supporters now you’re the same as them.
Go back to Reddit
Feel like we should defederate with them. They have nothing but dog shit takes designed to be divisive.
Lemmy.world can continue to isolate itself, slowly defederating from every leftist instance one by one until the echo chamber is complete, I suppose.
Just go back to reddit.
