Remeber they don't hate russians just the government which is why they've had a literally dehumanizing term for all russians since 6 hours after the war started.
I love how Germans immediately jump to show their ass like their distance from genocide, both morally and temporally, ISN'T three generations max; like they're not an eagerly-waterbearing vassal to the Amerikan Reich.
All their humblebragging fake contrition about the crimes of that guilty land goes right out the window as soon as the chance to do it all again comes up, then it's all orcs this and terrorists that. They're like an alcoholic falling off the wagon. It wouldn't be quite so ennervating if they weren't so fucking condescending the rest of the time when they're not in genocide mode.
It's like talking to a redditor who's also a werewolf- I'm not sure which form I hate more but I definitely know they have zero right to be this smug with guts in their teeth.

Holy fuck I love this metaphor, comrade. 10/10 things I need to figure out how to bootstrap into my diction
Germany becoming a vassal state of the US is not really something I saw happening. I know our values align often, but their national personality seems less in line with ours
I blame the rapport that used to exist between that absolute war criminal minstrel Obama and Merkel honestly, that's when I saw the threads start binding. For all the absolute EARNED mess I talk on Barack, I won't deny-- he's one hell of an orator, and he proved people WILL cozy up to a talented orator if his talking benefits you when you're at his table.
germany was less a function of convergent interests (compare the US supporting Anglo-French empire post ww2) and more the direct military occupation, that is still there
Oh no no. Especially during the early stages of the war, calling Russians "orcs" was practically the standard lingo. The whole reason why I grew disillusioned with the anglos over the war was that I was horrified by how extremely genocidal Europeans had become practically overnight. When people on "my side" were chanting for the wholesale extermination of Russians, I had a "are we the baddies" moment basically.
For me it was this and honestly it was coupled with wondering why every single combat footage video was from the Ukranian pov and why after a few months of what was being painted as a completely one sided battle the Ukrainians weren't making any advances.
Seems weird that the only country with functional weapons being outfitted by every single nato country was having such a hard time against people that allegedly didn't know what a toilet was.
Then it was getting banned because I said it wasn't good to give unrestricted weapons to dudes with black sun patches on their uniform yelling "die f*****s" in every video.
Having libs explain to me that I didn't understand the context of why the f slur wasn't a big deal in Ukraine was a real mask off moment.
That may well be true, but also true of all currencies that are about as useful to Russians as a Macedenonian Denar. The dollar is becoming increasingly useless worldwide.
don't understand why libs call Russians "orcs". Like, I know it's supposed to be racist and dehumanizing, but like, aren't most Russian people white? Is it cause they aren't western European white? But then like, how come Ukrainians are considered white and not called orcs even though there is no physical differences between the two countries other than an arbitrary geopolitical border?
As I understand it, it comes from a Russian author who wrote a semi-satirical version of Lord of the Rings as a commentary on how America perpetually sees itself as leading the “fellowship” and all others outside its sphere of sycophants are “orcs.” Libs being libs, they did not pick up on the subtext and just ran with “the Russians consider themselves the orcs!”
I actually watched Zelenskyy’s show “Servant of the People” and at the end of that he makes a reference to Ukraine “being always stuck between the orcs and the elves”. So I guess it was in common usage at least in Ukraine prior to the war
At some рoint the ukranians were saying they are more euroрean because rusians are decendants of реrmians and mongols as much as of white рeoрle like them. Ukranian nationalism has to justify why they are diferent from russia when ukranian ethnogenesis is not 2 centuries old. So "russians are more asiatic" was the solution. As to why orcs, i dont know. I susрect lort is more рoрular in russia, and ukraine. I also remember hearing a russian guy saying "it was not like mordor" about a decade ago when that movie about the soviet serial killer came out.
Russian whiteness is probationary at best, and it's probably about to go away. Ukrainians are also gonna lose their temporary white status once this war is undeniably lost and they're no longer useful for the empire.
All these college educated liberals carrying water for empire are starting to make me think that we should in fact, tear down colleges. Imagine KNOWING BETTER and still hitting "post"
The Last Ringbearer came out in 1999. It was a Russian LOTR fanfiction from the perspective of Mordor. In it the "orcs" are just normal humans who are dehumanized by the men of the west. It was a pretty big deal in the former USSR. So it probably wasn't you.
In this war the term Orc was popularized by an english tweet from Azov about greasing up their bullets to deal with Chechen orcs. So originally the term orc only applied to Chechens (and probably other Muslims in the Russian Federation).
Yes, complete own that a nation trying to de-dollarize is successfully de-dollarizing. Countries switching off from the dollar as the reserve currency is a sign of the American economic empire’s decline.
