I'm just expressing my hope they will succeed and liberate many more villages and cities, in the most succint way possible. And they will succeed.
You just said 'glory to the heroes'. Which heroes are you wishing glory to? Cause that saying has a history that you are apparently unaware of.
The ones right now (not 70 years ago) defending their country (aka the Ukrainians) from imperialists (russians) who are shelling civilians, kidnapping children, castrating soldiers, raping women. YHave you been keeping up?
Totally agree bro we must secure the existence of our people amirite?
Funnily enough, the Ukrainian constitution does have a line in there like that, although thankfully it has to do with radiation and not... you know.
I don't know, the gene pool comment is weird. Do they think Chernobyl is going to give them superpowers, or are they Banderites?
Not really sure what the discussions were like when it was put in. But it was before the 2014 coup.
Frankly, if the Germans were invaded, it wouldn't excuse starting to use a phrase the traditional Nazi's used, even if the people invading were monsters. In the same way that the swastika is an appropriated symbol, but no longer represents that because something came along that carries far more ... historical weight, shall we say.
If someone invaded the South of the US, I would not be okay with The US starting to use wildly well known confederate slogans.
Also, you just said the Russians are the heroes you were referencing that were defending their country from imperialists who are doing all that bad stuff. I know that isn't what you meant, but that is what you said. Might be worth an edit, if you care.
undefined> Also, you just said the Russians are the heroes you were referencing that were defending their country from imperialists who are doing all that bad stuff. I know that isn’t what you meant, but that is what you said. Might be worth an edit, if you care.
Ah, yes, I meant the russians are doing the evil things.
Unrelated: When you quote me, are intentionally typing undefined? Or is that a weird Lemmy bug?
If you press some of the buttons below the comment editing box, like the Quote or Insert Link button, if the comment box is empty it prepends 'undefined'. Seems like a javascript bug, not handling the case where the box is empty properly.
Thanks!
No but see, 70 years ago, this guy did a bad thing, so now it's basically even Stevens.
You're just parroting fascist slogans
