maverickDoes lemmy.world allow for calling Russians "orcs" and rabid Orientalism?
Gosh I hope so, nice try bringing race into it tho.
Soviet SnakeNice try? Fucking what, you are literally dehumanizing a group of people, that is tactic number 1 in war propaganda. You don't even have to be in favour of Russia or whatever to see how fucked up this is. Jesus, support the proxy war if you want but at least try to keep the bigotry apart.
Ok ruski. Russia is the INVAIDER here. Wanna talk dehumanization? How about all the russians who stole ukranian homes in crymea? I have no sympathy for russians of any kind and frankly they can all die.
Following that train of thought we should eliminate the US from the face of Earth, and France, and Spain, pretty much all of Europe. Tell me of a country that has not committed some form of crime. Most of these wars are the ruling classes lashing at each other, people, the masses, are just collateral damage, you are literally hating a group for the actions ordered by a bunch of them. Why don't you hate the Germans the same way? Does your hate go away after a few years? What's the logic behind your xenophobia?
Although something to help your cause, the person who called russians "orcs" is actually a 4chan psyop. They started "the_donald" as a "hate sub" for conservatives but are banning any conservative dissent.
ImFresh3xStory book villains/LoTR fantasy seems like an apt comparison for a brutal invading force. If people are calling all Russian people a name, I’d say that’s racist etc. But ya, fuck the invaders. ~~___~~
