dank memes

Rules:

  1. All posts must be memes and follow a general meme setup.

  2. No unedited webcomics.

  3. Someone saying something funny or cringe on twitter/tumblr/reddit/etc. is not a meme. Post that stuff in /c/slop

  4. Va*sh posting is haram and will be removed.

  5. Follow the code of conduct.

  6. Tag OC at the end of your title and we'll probably pin it for a while if we see it.

  7. Recent reposts might be removed.

  8. Tagging OC with the hexbear watermark is praxis.

  9. No anti-natalism memes. See: Eco-fascism Primer

Cowardly Russia is using tactical warfare in order to suffocate the enemy, while minimizing losses. How dare they not use human wave attacks that I have been talking about for years? - Julian Ropcke (lemmygrad.ml)

There are a few options, but I think Vovochka is the one that mainly gets used for Putin.

I'm actually mostly annoyed, because Vlad is diminutive for Vladislav.

Maybe they are Polish lmao, here the diminutives for Vladislav (Władysław) and Vladimir (Włodzimierz) only differ by one letter: Władek and Włodek

How are W and ł pronounced in Polish?

[–] PolandIsAStateOfMind@lemmygrad.ml 1 points 2 days ago

Polish W is similar to V like in Russian names pronounced in English. Ł is basically same as English W

I think it is simpler than that, and they just can't be bothered about learning anything about Finno-Mongolian hordes from the East.
