The comments are as rancid as usual
Btw. If I told them how to change their minds, it would be called fedposting
/r/Poland is Nazi even by reddit standards which is saying something
Just like r/BalticStates
Baltic states are Nazi by the EU standards which is saying something
i mean, given that azov is pulling people randomly to be used as cannon fodder in the frontlines like “human waves” accusing russia of being a “horde” is pretty rich
This is the first war in history where the “good guys” are so vile that they need to actively hide what they’re doing from the rest of the world to maintain support.
It’s honestly amazing how fast the mask dropped. Western response immediately devolved into an unhinged, open season on anything and everything Russian. We’re talking about regular people getting banned from sports and arts, calls for collective punishment, and just a flood of the most vile, racist garbage directed at Russians as an ethnic group. It went from “we hate Putin’s regime” to “we hate you people” in about five seconds flat.
And the funny part is that was a gift from heaven for the Kremlin. They’ve been saying for years that the West secretly despises all Russians and wants to see Russia broken up and erased as a culture. Suddenly, they could just point to the news and say see? we told you so. Western behavior completely nuked any domestic liberal opposition. What were they supposed to argue for? Hey, let’s be friends and emulate the people who are calling for us to be shoved back into the stone age?
By treating the entire Russian population as subhuman orcs, the West forced even those skeptical of Putin to rally around the flag in a defensive posture, ultimately consolidating his power in a way he could have never achieved otherwise.
Western Liberals are very sick people. The amount of deprogramming needed to fix their extreme levels of racism will be unprecedented.
We’re seeing here why mass reeducation programs are necessary after revolutions.
Yuh Yogthos, their true colors showed way too easily. But ah well, what does the saying goes, let one hoist themselves by their own petard, or in modern day speak, let others step on the minefield they planted.
indeed
The Polish sure do love nazism.
Considering that the “Horde” thing in mongol/turkic state names is a western translation of “Ulus”, which means …state or country.
Yeah, Russia is indeed a state/country. Great observation from the polish Horde and european hordes.
Isn’t the etymology of the word “horde” derived from the Turkic/Mongolic word “ordu” meaning an army camp?
The way it was adopted into Western languages with a negative connotation is definitely orientalist though.
Honestly dunno, when I read the thread title I vaguely remembered that The Golden Horde called itself Ulug Ulus in some old turkish dialect, looked it up and gave my memory a headpat.

Seems like “Horde” comes from “Ordu” tho. And actually refers to a singular clan. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Orda_(organization)
edit: I was derping, you wrote the last bit already. Leaving mine up for the link.
literally just that meme of all the hitlers saying “we agree!!!”
Whataboutism
