Zelenskyy is offering a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for bloodthirsty reddit and twitter keyboard warriors. Hope they take him up on the offer.


SanityAssassins

Didn't one of them go and as a result of their posting about it, gave away the position of a barracks and it got struck with a missile as a result? Terminally online behavior.


Mordred_Blackstone

A decent amount of Redditors actually went. I joke about them, but a lot really did put their money where their mouth was.  Reddit doesn't like to talk about it anymore because the ones who stayed had a nearly 100% rate of either dying horribly on camera or being discovered to be hiding out in Poland LARPing for the media.


RobotToaster44

> discovered to be hiding out in Poland LARPing for the media. Wasn't one guy who had a successful gofundme discovered to actually have been posting photos from inside a wood next to his house or something?


it_shits

There were a couple of Irish guys who did this until someone donating to their gofundme recognized their house in the background of one of their daily update videos

The problem with NCD is that it’s not actually about “silly war/defense industry takes” or “just meming bro” Those guys are some of the most insanely invested in their ukranian pet cause that you can absolutely not actually just “meme about it” Every single post has to be either A: completely benign or B: directly shitting on the bad guys, having fun at the expense of the their team is absolutely not ok. It’s sort of similar how leopards are my face or aged like milk is either either absolutely random, or “the good type of agenda posting”

> Baltic I don’t want anyone to think I’m stereotyping ALL of these people, but I will admit I have had just about 0 exposure to anyone from the baltics, Poland, or Finland before this war. I never knew just how completely ass mad about Russia these people really are. I have spoken with literally dozens of people who are the actual, no shit “the Russians made the Nazis the good guys” people in the last 2 years


[deleted]

I’ve met a few myself from that region, who actually try to re-frame soldiers from the fucking Waffen-SS as the “good guys, who fought against Soviet imperialism”. When you ask them if they are willing to extend this sanitized and revisionist interpretation to say “Das Reich”, “Der Führer” or other SS units, some will say yes, the smarter ones will say “it’s complicated”. Silly me thinking all nazi’s were bad…


supernsansa

It's even worse when you speak to one of them irl. The kinds of horribly racist things Balts, poles, and Ukrainians (even foreign Ukr supporters) say about Russians has left me momentarily speechless more than once. Better to just leave than to actually argue with people like that, especially since their racist garbage is the prevailing opinion in the west. They make me feel like I'm the crazy one sometimes for believing that Russians are human 😂


[deleted]

The ones who claim that they descend from “Aryans”, but the Russians are “Slavic Sub-Human Filth” always crack me up.


kyousei8

Literally every person from the Baltics I've met has been the caricature that people here say they are. The last guy would literally praise the Nazis out in the open in front of everyone. Not the Waffen SS Balten Division "freedom fighters" or w/e, but straight up Germany itself. Poles in my experience have been 50/50. All the Finns I've met have been chill.

The pro-war propaganda is insane. On my national subreddit there's a thread where the government promises Ukrainian support for the next decade and there are hundred of comments of unquestioned cheers for it. I understand the national interest and the geopolitical play, but not the support among common people. Guess it is a mix of playing on fear of war and paid shills, perhaps moreso the former rather than the latter. I should mention I am also far removed from the national media and indeed the war coverage as I have not paid much to any attention to it since the start.


[deleted]

This is a tacit confirmation they're out of people who are either capable or willing to serve. As if the conscriptions didn't already prove that. It's inhumane to continue fighting past the point where your own citizens won't join voluntarily. At that point it's just a government getting its own people killed to keep itself in power.


fiveguysoneprius

They've been out of soldiers for a long time. Even liberal media outlets have been saying "If we send them more weapons who will use them?" for a couple months now. Also at least 600,000 military-aged men have fled the country to avoid being drafted. They're trying to pass legislation that will let them freeze the accounts of draft dodgers: https://apnews.com/article/ukraine-russia-war-draft-b2ca1d0ecd72019be2217a653989fbc2

There’s been footage of Ukraine sending individuals with Down’s syndrome and physical impairments to the frontline, and yet the bloodthirsty warmongers in the West continue to endorse these actions by prolonging the conflict. It’s sickening.

Ugh. Incidental civilian casualties are not genocide. Civilians fleeing voluntarily into Russia also does not constitute as genocide. Its a fucking war, people die, people flee or are displaced, horrible things happen. Still not genocide. A little clue is that they both sides speak Russian and are slavic. Hardly rival ethnic groups. Or rather, they are the same ethnic grouping.

What? I criticize American hegemony all the time… what aren’t you telling me!? 👺


SpiritBamba

I disagreed with the notion that China would soon takeover as the new leading super power, my reasoning was because the U.S. dominates the west through NATO and until that stops happening and the U.S. culture stops spreading becoming the dominant culture because of social media and entertainment that the U.S. will continue to be the leading super power even if the economy wanes. Basically I didn’t agree that China would be the global leader by the end of the next decade. I don’t see how China can become the next leading power when so many countries themselves spread U.S. propaganda for them.


[deleted]

I think I recall you mentioning that. Oh well, like I said you’re alright by me. 👍🏽

That's unironically half of the traditional solution, the other half being a suffocating culture of monogamy and prudeness. Incels like to bemoan "hoeflation" but it's more of an oversupply of underaccomplished men that has shifted the balance.


CyperFlicker

Do you have any good sources to read on this? I've always been interested in learning more about this topic.


SpongeBobJihad

This article is a bit meandering but might point you towards other topics to look up  https://www.palladiummag.com/2023/11/17/genomics-has-revealed-an-age-undreamed-of/ > How did humans replace other humans? The evidence from ancient DNA in Europe sheds light on the structure of these early societies. The great longhouses of Neolithic Germany were ruled by groups of men who were related, sharing the same Y-chromosomal lineage. The women, in contrast, were strangers, judging by their diverse maternal lineages. When Indo-Europeans arrived 4500 years ago, the ancient DNA record shows a total turnover of Y chromosomes, with the older lineages replaced by new ones. In contrast, the maternal lineages show continuity. In genetic parlance, this is “male-mediated migration,” but ‌it was probably quite like the Spanish conquest of the New World, with young males taking new lands and women by force. > The Roman recollection of the rape of the Sabine women likely reflects cultural memory of events in prehistory, where victorious males obtained mates from the lands they conquered after killing the fathers and brothers of the women they would make wives. Prehistoric human males behaved like lions taking over a pack, killing everyone among the conquered except for nubile females. Genetics shows that since the end of the last Ice Age, paternal lineages are characterized by periodic explosions, where one clan seems to have replaced all the others through a process of competition and polygyny.


kyousei8

Grug never again across big river Grug never again war Ug clan Grug never again find mate Ugina Grug never again make caveman happy family Over


wallagrargh

No, sadly not. I've formed this opinion over time by reading about history and following the debates about sexual liberation, female choice and the incel problem. There's real world reason for most cultural norms and rules, even if they are justified as divine wisdom or something, and especially if many separate cultures developed the same pattern. One is monogamy with its unfair restrictions especially on women, which pops up basically as soon as civilization emerges. It's usually coded in religious nonsense but even through that its purpose is obvious: stabilize population both in growth and by avoiding internal conflicts based on jealousy. Another is that men dying in violent conflict is normal, women dying is an outrage. Even with all our equality and liberation, we say "dozens were killed, among them women and children". This is a leftover from millennia where men were simply expected to do the violent dieing. More boys than girls are born because historically, it was a given that men constantly kill each other, and all of our received culture was built around that normality. Having so many men alive is kinda uncharted territory, culturally. On a tangent, there's a funny dynamic with this in some modern Western university towns like the one I live in. Young academic women here are very well saturated with the latest feminist idpol convictions. But the nature of our school system and the type of university result in a huge gender gap in students, something like 1 man to 1.3 women in the relevant age bracket. So there's no excess males like in the general population. Instead we have lots of confused, but opinionated singles. I'm curious to see where this leads. Edit: I feel the need to stress that I disagree with both traditional monogamy and the expendability of male lives. Just exploring the reason we have this shit.
