Slop posts go in c/slop. Don't post low-hanging fruit here.
I am currently in an argument (read: flinging insults at) a bunch of lemmy idiots who are arguing that Trump is beholden to the soviets. Pointing out that government hasn’t existed in 40 years has prompted the dumbest possible response I have ever seen (“this might surprise you but trump is over 40 years old”)
Point is people who think like this are barely sentient and it honestly disturbs me they are able to drive cars and trucks legally
hahahaha, thinking trump is like one of those left behind japanese soldiers who kept fighting ww2 decades after it was over
I even kind of threw them a bone and said that “the criminals” running modern day Russia are explicitly not communists so would have different goals. And I was told that they are “basically the same”
Every day the world tries its hardest to drive me insane
ah, that type. those sorts believe communism is some kind of asiatic racial trait. that's why it doesnt matter to them that russia isnt communist anymore, because you see, they're still russian, and that's the same thing.
For some type of person my interactions are just following the guide of the animal documentary called Madagascar.
"Psh, you think he's beholden to the Soviets? Anyone with eyes in their head can see he's clearly a puppet of Tojo and the empire of the rising sun- that is, if the Ottomans didn't get to him first."
Would be unironically very cool and funny.
I've met plenty of boomers who forgot that they won the cold war and destroyed the lives of many millions of working people. I'm absolutely positive that Trump has also forgotten that the USSR no longer exists. It's not impossible that he's still carrying out his orders.
Edit: ...and that shit would be so funny.
Liberals reaching reichwinger levels of logic abuse
Are they still on that bullshit about how he was a KGB asset called Krasnov?
My favorite part about that conspiracy theory is that Krasnov is the name of a general who fought against the Bolsheviks during the Russian civil war and later fought against them again on the side of the Nazis. Why the KGB would choose the name of someone who was incredibly anti Soviet as a codename for someone doing their dirty work for them is a mystery.
it's what you'd least expect!
Oh is that why they kept saying that word? Lol yes
i stg almost all new slurs are derived from slurs used against black folks. they catch so much indirect fire its unreal
‘Tis the Western way
Russiagate did so much damage to these jackasses' minds it's astounding honestly.
“I’m not calling ordinary Russians orcs! I’m just talking about the soldiers!”
“Never mind, now I’m just calling the entire country the N-word, but it’s a totally acceptable variant!”
Which country will collapse first?
Country A: Largest country by land area on earth, amongst the largest relevant natural resource reserves on earth, major global economy, has growing ties with the increasingly ascendant global superpower who has vested interest in its stability, 150 million in population, currently winning war without mass mobilization or pivot to war economy, has already survived plethora of sanctions, is pivotal supplier of resources to western capitalist nations
Country B: One of poorest and most corrupt nations in Europe, has recently had a political coup, has ongoing rebel insurgencies dating to more that 10 years ago, not insignificant proportion of population is more sympathetic to Country A than Country B, 20% of land area currently occupied by Country A, 20% of occupied land area is most resource rich area of Country B, 20% of occupied land is most fertile area of Country B, has been resorting to forced conscription for multiple years straight, has 1/3 the population of Country A, is essentially irrelevant on global economic scale, has little to no utility to western capitalist nations beyond being a buffer state to Country A, undergoing significant demographic and economic collapse
If you are a braindead western liberal, the answer is obviously Country A
Ah but you forget, Country A is bad guys and Country B is good guys, which means that according to western liberal theory (marvel movies) the bad guy country will lose.
I don't know what that word he uses with a Z is, but I'm guessing it's a racial slur of some kind, or very clearly intended to evoke racial slurs. I think this might be more of a slop post, this fruit is so low hanging it's chilling with coal and diamonds.
the Z thing is because russian tanks had Z's painted on them, I guess to designate them from enemy tanks, but HOLY SHIT calling it "z***erland" is one of the most racist things I've heard this year
Yeah, my question was more in disbelief than anything else, like a "holy shit, they can't really be saying what I think they're saying, can they?"
I swear there’s a sizable amount of liberals who are gleeful whenever it’s socially acceptable to use slurs. Reminds me of all the terms that were used to describe Middle Eastern people in the early 2000s that were at the very least excused because “we’re all still pissed off about 9/11”.
Rotate that Z bout 90° and you'll have your answer
Yeah, that's what I thought. They really can't help themselves can they? They have to call every group they don't like the N-word. I think at this point I've heard some variation of it used for literally everywhere that isn't 
I don't even understand the point of that, surely a racial slur loses its appeal to a racist if it applies to almost everyone. Though I guess frothing at the mouth racists aren't exactly the most creative bunch.
It's the "hardest" slur. Of course they use it everywhere.
The hardest slur. One could say it’s the dark souls of slurs
Saying the N-word blindfolded and with the bongo controller from Donkey Konga
Kind of gives up the game as to what whiteness and blackness as constructed categories really are: whiteness defined by Not Blackness, blackness defined by Not Whiteness.
How do these people envision economic collapse? The Russian economy surely has hardships, but what, workers will suddenly stop working? Companies will simultaneously close? Russia doesn't have an economic bubble or anything, I'm sure it can sustain this situation for quite some time with at worst progressively degrading conditions, but what kind of collapse do they think will happen?
they're hoping for a western-backed coup
Oh god. Are they going to get Papa John's this time?
The new leader will be Papa John
Папа Джон - и точко
It's funny, because one of the talking points among libs in the early 2010's was about how Russia was working to make its economy more focused on their military production and more insular, so as to be able to more capably produce military needs should the country face sanctions; I think it was a byproduct of the Russo-Georgian war in 2008.
MIC = military industrial complex?
Yes, I just used it as shorthand for military production, edited for a bit of clarity
It was a more common talking point during Obama's second term iirc
Yeah, I'm 28 so I don't remember politically those times, was too young to have an opinion. Thanks for the clarification!
Redditors will continue to hold this opinion until Russia begins persecuting and executing someone they think is even less of a human. Like how Putin was initially in the good graces of the west because he was fighting muslims in Chechnya
See dumb Tom Clancy's novels about Russia fighting China.
That's even more mask-off than usual, holy shit 
Every day I wish I could reach through the internet and just slap the everloving shit out of people
Помнишь, брат, как давили эльфийскую мразь,
Как бежали на запад их злобные орды.
Мы полками месили гондорскую грязь.
Чтобы ярче сиял белокаменный Мордор.
I'm pretty sure that racially charged "term" originates from leftypol
