The guy who chose getting his people killed over remaining neutral? You'd have to be fucking retarded to think this guy is some sort of hero.

The Ukraine was invaded.

The Ukraine was invaded.

Yes, because Zelensky refused to remain neutral. Not that I agree with Russia's bullying, but if he thought NATO and the US were going to come save him, he was obviously quite mistaken, and his people are now paying the price.

They didn't think that.

That's why they trained their arses off over the past 8 years.

Putin has said that he doesn't think the Ukraine should exist and their their land should belong to Russia. Why do you think Putin is lying?

I don't. I am merely questioning the adoring narrative surrounding Zelensky. Obviously Putin is a bad guy, I just am not convinced Zelensky is a hero, and the media isn't giving me very balanced or nuanced coverage. Putin bad! Ukraine good! Is all I ever hear from the media, and yes, Putin bad, but I am not willing to confer hero status to Zelensky just yet.

They didn't think that.

So he is intentionally destroying Ukraine and getting Ukrainian people killed on purpose? Ukraine was obviously being used as bait in order to get rid of Putin, with the destruction of the country being deemed worth it in order to remove a constant thorn in the Neocons/neoliberals side, Putin.

Ukraine has basically zero chance of "winning" at this point. The neocon goal is to turn it into another Afghanistan in order to bleed the Russians. Zelenksy was either too fucking stupid to know this, or too sociopathic to care. Take your pick. Either way he brought about the destruction of his country.

Also killed children in Donbas and stopped the fresh water supply to 2 million people in Crimea. That clown had it coming.

I don't think it's meant to be taken seriously... but cringe either way... sick of the hero worship in those circles, it gives me the same vibe as all the love for Cuomo in the beginning of the covid days. 🤮

[–]RedEyedWarrior 4 insightful - 1 fun4 insightful - 0 fun5 insightful - 1 fun -  (1 child)

But if the Zelensky worship is similar to the Cuomo worship, does that mean Reddit will turn against Zelensky like they did with Cuomo?

    This is exactly what liberals on Reddit support. They support shutting down people who advocate against vaccine mandates or people who advocate traditional values. Redditors don’t support freedom of speech or freedom in general.

    Plus, Redditors for the most part believe whatever mainstream media outlets tell them to believe. They don’t think for themselves.

    It's funny in my lifetime I witnessed the shift from the left being the reasonable class and the right was the religious zealouts, to the left becoming the religious zealouts and the right the crowd more interested in reason, facts and debate.

    [–]RedEyedWarrior 7 insightful - 2 fun7 insightful - 1 fun8 insightful - 2 fun -  (0 children)

    I’ve noticed this too. I was left wing until 2017, and right wing for a couple of years after that. Now I don’t think left or right really matters anymore. It’s just reasonable people versus religious zealots (and yes, religious zealots include atheists and agnostics who worship celebrities and politicians). I guess you could call me right wing, but I’m willing to align myself with people on the left on certain issues I can agree with them on. But right now the leftists have gone insane, while the right wing is still weak.

    Ukraine has been a Russian puppet basically since it became independent until 2014, its improved a lot since then, and if it does eventually join the EU that kind of thing will not be tolerated. Even if it did not change at all it is already leagues better than Russia.

    If you let anyone else have sex with your wife, you don’t deserve a wife.

    I didn't believe it at first. This is just too pathetic, even for Reddit.

    Nope, turns out it's real, and the replies are just as cringeworthy.

    Omg that's fucking awful. I got 3 comments in and bailed.

    I've noticed the female equivalent of this strange sort of self degrading lefty virtue signaling is when women who normally complain about "creepy" guys hitting on them declare that they would perform all sorts of involved sexual acts on and with the person or persons (usually an older male like "bernie" that would, in any other context be categorized as 'creepy') that align(s) with them politically/ideologically....It's like the world has been waiting in the wings for these idiots to degrade themselves and this is the price for the degradation....

    Good chance of them being shillbots, at least.

    [–]BravoVictor 4 insightful - 1 fun4 insightful - 0 fun5 insightful - 1 fun -  (2 children)

    I doubt even the dumbest shillbot organization would write posts that dumb. But then again, they did elect Joe Biden.

    Of course they would. It acts as propaganda to influence the weak into thinking that being a cuck is cool. It also runs off the others who think its stupid.

    They funnel or corral the ones who leave into saidit, voat/talk, poal, win, pol, whatever and then attack these sites while further identifying us.

    [–]BravoVictor 1 insightful - 1 fun1 insightful - 0 fun2 insightful - 1 fun -  (0 children)

    Maybe. But that could also be semi-organic. Reddit's mechanism encourages groupthink and punishes dissent. So once large subs begin to swing a particular direction, encouraged by the mods who censor posts, it begins to kick out everyone else, like you say. That doesn't necessarily require paid activists. Albeit the admins and many of the mods are effectively working as paid activists to some extent.

    I wonder how your average redditor's girlfriend would feel when they realise how tall the guy is.

    His own wife literally says she is only with him for his sense of humour.

    If you are the president of Ukraine you have one primary job. Dont get invaded by Russia. Previous ukrainian presidents all managed that simple task by not overtly antagonizing Russia and threatening them with Nato expansion. Finland has managed that simple task for 80 years by doing the same because their leaders actually give a fuck about not destroying their country and getting countless citizens killed.

    Some Jew actor with zero political experience gets put into office with the help of one of the most corrupt Jewish oligarchs on planet earth(which is saying a lot) and instantly fails at that one crucial task.

    Rather than correcting his mistakes in order to spare widespread death and destruction. He then continuously goads Ukrainians into getting themselves killed, lets violent felons out of prison and arms them, resulting in total chaos. He is literally destroying Ukraine while repeatedly covering himself in the glory of Ukrainians doing the actual fighting, with the Jew media jizzing all over themselves because of his manufactured bravery. Meanwhile ukraine gets destroyed.

    He is basically the worst president anyone could imagine, and in typical clown world fashion he is being advertised as this epic hero.

    As if redditors needed an excuse to look for someone to do their wife/gf.

    Yeah, he has such massive balls...to be a US puppet living in Poland while he tells his people to fight and die to defend his corrupt administration back at home...

    Yes, Putin is such an evil asshole. According to the UN, over 500 civilians have been killed. That's horrible!

    Meanwhile, we're starving millions of Afghanis to death, through an economic blockade, to punish the Taliban. But hey, at least we're not invading them like that bad Russian man!

    Where can I buy a "I stand with the Afghanis" yard sign so I can feel like a smug asshole, but not actually do anything?
