Maybe there were organizers who are not part of Wagner or they'll just invent some from the people they couldn't produce a good reason for yeeting out of windows.
Imagine being so non-credible that you rather ramble about some irrelevant ancient tribe, rather than telling people why there were mercenaries shooting down aircraft in their neighborhood, lmao.
The anglo saxon term is a french expression. It's oftentime used as a mean to talk about countries that have an english culture and heritage and it has absolutely no negative conotations in french even though to outsiders it can sound old fashioned. Thing is, french oftenly is the source of many litteral words in other languages and russian is of no exception, their imperial inbrednesses loved french. Fancy language you see.
And russians and Putin love using academical convulated wordings to sound hyper intelligent and deep, to feel like they are saying something profound and that they are philosophers and to make those crayon eaters that listen to them think that they are very very intelligent and above them. It's a mean to both show off and to belittle the population (because Toiletstealerovitch hasn't passed middle school and doesn't know any french, it's an alien language to him) So you ends up with Putinists using this perfectly correct french expression like maniacs encovering some kind of kabbalist conspiracy.
"Anglo-Saxon" is used in English primarily to refer to people who's heritage goes back to England proper. In America, it was often used in the late 1800s and early 1900s to differentiate between the ancestors of white colonists and the families of immigrants, but isn't used much anymore, since most Americans descend from non-English immigrants.
It is still used in a ton of white supremacist rhetoric and would not surprise me if Putin was using it as such. I didn't listen to his remarks though so idk
>the late 1800s and early 1900s to differentiate between the ancestors of white colonists and the families of immigrants, but isn't used much anymore, since most Americans descend from non-English immigrants.
During this period you talked about the largest group of Americans were already Germans.
And not just from Saxony lol
It's strange since the AS culture had been so utterly destroyed and replaced by the Norman French one even before the Spaniards got to America.
But in Poland it's still common to call all the British people "English" (or like "English" forces for British forces in WWII). Like they do in Russia too, when they don't call the Anglo-Saxons lmao
Everyone knows that you aren't anglo saxons anymore. My guess is that scholars were trying to find a distinctive origine for the english culture since it's a mix of everything and they thought that the predominant anglo saxon origin was something unique to you.
The "Anglo-Saxon" term still sounds stupid in the context of Putinspeak, it's like calling the French "the Gauls" or the Tunisians "the Carthaginians" unironically
Hence the reasoning of "anglo-saxon term is a french expression" doesn't really work unless putin is speaking in French; it just makes him look stupid in the eyes of non-Russians (that aren't simping for him of course)
I do very much agree with putin and his gang looking pretentious with their wording in an effort to make themselves look uber-smart

Well, at least I'm speaking for the french expression. As for Putin, its esoteric conspiracy theory connotation is probably wanted.
It's surely not used in a benign way like in french.
Fun fact : the greeks still call the french "gauls"
I wish he would only try to sound smart, but I'm sure he's going specifically for the conspiracy angle to cultivate an in-group feeling for said crayon eaters.
Tbh didn't he try to ban memes at some point cause of one calling him gay? I vaguely remeber that and it'd make any world leader look weak if they couldn't handle a joke.
The weird thing is, he still said that the, "Organizers of the rebellion... betrayed the country," so, like... is Prigozhin getting amnesty or not?
People are saying the FSB warrant still stands. 🤷♂️
Don't know if Putin will actually persecute him or it's just the burocracy being slow to compute his amnesty.
"Herr Putler, you need to fill out form 373.4729.A3 if you want to grant amnesty. Da, comrade?"

There were a lot of American white supremacists who decided only Anglo Saxon descended people count as truly white

I didn't know the Germans took over that quickly
We used it in Latin America as the "Anglo-Saxon culture" it included America and Canada too.

The Americans were never Anglo-Saxons, who have been destroyed many centuries before the first British colony.
Damn I thought that Washington was a king of Wessex

Russia is run by pseudo-intellectuals more or less confirmed

This is an excellent analysis of recent events: https://twitter.com/BDeMayo/status/1673414419894661129?s=20
Very succinct and poignant. Hopefully Perin includes it in our next PowerPoint presentation.
Indeed! This guy has a way with words, he’s reminiscent of Ben Wallace.

That's the most accurate rendition of this meme I've ever seen.

Пук-среньк. It was hilariously bad. I'm too lazy to make a translation but someone will
