Real good sign your side is winning when you're conscripting a 39yo, especially someone who is arguably way more valuable left helping run your propaganda war on reddit-logo zelensky-pain

said his role has helped him prepare for being in on the frontline

What's he going to do, ban Russia from Ukraine? Delete incoming artillery fire?

This is is going to be the rudest awakening since our vets discovered Russia isn't sending unarmed civilians.

Demoted from propaganda poster to cannon fodder stalin-joking

Literally the plot of edge of tomorrow

Select hits from his profile

spoiler

Well current government of russian federation is trying to whitewash the facts and alter history history as always. I mean they even have their own name for the war - The “great patriotic war” to hide the fact they’ve been allies with Hitler between 1939 and 1941, so I think it’s quite important to remind them of that. Just look at r/pikabu dweebs downvoting away at a simple historical truth.

And

There are documented instances of soviet squads dressed as Ukrainian freedom fighters during WWII committing warcrimes against civilian population, Poles and Jews to rob them of support from the populace. Good thing about these kind of affairs is that if they get captured they don't get the benefits of Geneva convention.

Please replace the relatively sane soldiers with these guys

I forgot people actually believed shit like this wtf

[-] highalectical@lemmygrad.ml 77 points 5 months ago

Not only do people believe it, thinking the Molotov Ribbentrop pact was an alliance is the most common take on it I've seen from people I know in meatspace.

[-] Awoo@hexbear.net 50 points 5 months ago

The only people that know what it is who are anticommunists. The rest don't have a clue.

[-] highalectical@lemmygrad.ml 51 points 5 months ago

In my experience, they couldn't tell you the name of the pact or anything about it if you asked them, but the "USSR and nazis teamed up" talking point is still there.

Ehh you usually do, the much better arguments are:

  1. A ton of other countries had non-aggression pacts with the Nazis
  2. The Soviets signed theirs after Britain and France shot down an anti-Nazi pact (which would be an example of a pact between allies)
  3. Your allies don't launch a genocidal invasion of you

Always ask them if they know what is a Czechoslovakia, what happened to it in 1938 and who were the people shaking hands nodding in agreement and then finally happily cheering after it happened.

[-] amphibian@hexbear.net 22 points 5 months ago

idk what meatspace is, am i blessed for my ignorance here?

[-] save_vs_death@hexbear.net 39 points 5 months ago

cutesy internet terminology for "in real life" a play on "cyberspace"

[-] amphibian@hexbear.net 23 points 5 months ago

ohh ty, i assumed it was like some nazi forum lol

[-] SkingradGuard@hexbear.net 43 points 5 months ago

They even use it to say that the Nazis were socialist, actually

[-] jackmarxist@hexbear.net 40 points 5 months ago

Meanwhile Ukrainian Father of the Nation was not only allied to the Nazis, he helped them with the Holocaust and got sent to a concentration camp as a reward.

[-] REEEEvolution@lemmygrad.ml 23 points 5 months ago

...Where he got personal slaves and preferental treatment. The he got let out, ordered some massacres, ran to germany, hid in Munich and got a case of Karma in the face.

Incoming post about how “triage is an example of means testing working” as he bleeds out with an expectant tag.

My role as a Hexbear moderator is preparing me for the front lines (of a protracted peoples war)

[-] nurjahreszeiten@hexbear.net 75 points 5 months ago

Hilarious, hope he gets droned, cause thats what they think is extremely funny when it happens to russians who-must-go

[-] jackmarxist@hexbear.net 31 points 5 months ago

Probably will. Russia also has a huge drone warfare operation. They're just not publicized as much as Ukrainian ones.

[-] Tunnelvision@hexbear.net 29 points 5 months ago

Because Ukrainians use bomb dropping drones so they can post it online, Russia used fpv drones that just fly towards you and kill you.

[-] Awoo@hexbear.net 68 points 5 months ago

99% chance this bozo posts to reddit and gets blown up.

[-] TerminalEncounter@hexbear.net 64 points 5 months ago

Have fun on the front line bozo! Maybe you should've used your role as a mod to push for peace?

[-] Commiejones@hexbear.net 62 points 5 months ago

I'm I bad for wanting to not die? I really would like if he went and saw the front for a few days before being wounded and shipped home so that he can go back to posting and change the narrative to "we need to surrender" (while having to shit in a bag for the rest of his life).

[-] Tankiedesantski@hexbear.net 24 points 5 months ago

If he did that, he would be disappeared by the Ukrainian security services like all the previous critics of Fuhrer Zelensky.

He’s about to realize what happens when you find out all that “objective journalism” you’ve been posting is actually massive cope

"We did it, reddit!"

[-] Bloobish@hexbear.net 56 points 5 months ago

Have fun getting sacrificed for the good of the western capitalist death cult

HOW LONG WILL HE LAST?

KEYBOARD WARRIOR TRAINING, DOES IT PREPARE YOU FOR THE REAL THING?

[-] 420blazeit69@hexbear.net 50 points 5 months ago

Ukraine has recently stepped up its efforts to replenish soldiers. It lowered the conscription age from 27 to 25

They aren't drafting people under 25?? Most serious war effort

Ukraine's parliament also passed a bill earlier this month that would allow the country's military to recruit prisoners to fight.

"In bad country..."

In August, Zelenskyy fired all of Ukraine's military recruitment chiefs after an investigation revealed they were accepting up to $10,000 in bribes to help people avoid being drafted.

I'm sure there's some level of corruption in any conscription process, but this seems unusual.

[-] Tankiedesantski@hexbear.net 32 points 5 months ago

Ukraine's parliament also passed a bill earlier this month that would allow the country's military to recruit prisoners to fight.

I remember near the begining of the war, Redditors were trying to mock Wagner for all being recruited from prisoners.

[-] PolandIsAStateOfMind@lemmygrad.ml 23 points 5 months ago* (last edited 5 months ago)

And how the Tornado company, war criminals so bad they got jailed for atrocities in Donbas by Ukraine itself, got released and get back into army.

easiest way to end all wars is to send those that call for it..

[-] Tankiedesantski@hexbear.net 38 points 5 months ago

Unlimited conscription on the Redditors.

[-] hello_hello@hexbear.net 37 points 5 months ago

Sokalskii spent a long time thinking about the country's conscription process, which has been plagued by corruption. He said he believes it would work better as a lottery where "everybody has to suffer equally" — with the option to trade with a family member or friend willing to take your place.

In North Soviet China, you can be drafted to fight neighboring nations based on lottery, though you have the option of throwing someone else under the bus as well to save yourself.

[-] TeddyKila@hexbear.net 23 points 5 months ago* (last edited 5 months ago)

Just like in my Hunger Gamerinos! so-true

[-] coolusername@lemmy.ml 34 points 5 months ago* (last edited 5 months ago)

This guy whitewashed Naziism and COUNTLESS war crimes in Ukraine, as well as the reasons this war is happening in the first place. I have no sympathy for him.

[-] ksynwa_from_lemmygrad@hexbear.net 32 points 5 months ago

A reddtior gave him this advice in his AMA

keep shopping bags or trash bags…line your helmet with it for a mobile latrine

I don't understand this. Is he talking about shitting in the helmet?

[-] emizeko@hexbear.net 24 points 5 months ago* (last edited 5 months ago)

think it's just a place to stash the bags until use

EDIT: nope, after thinking about it more I think you are right, the bag is stretched over the helmet as a frame and you squat over it.

[-] StalinStan@hexbear.net 24 points 5 months ago* (last edited 5 months ago)

I am not even mad. If he is willing to die on that hill
