Sure, let's promote Russian values. Values like invading your neighbors, murdering political rivals and oppressing queer people.

And then there's the priests blessing nuclear weapons.

All sorts of fine values.

[–] [email protected] 43 points 4 months ago* (last edited 4 months ago) (1 children)

There's also swindling, cheating, bribery and corruption. And don't forget bigotry.

[–] FlyingSquid 24 points 4 months ago (1 children)

Hacking, disseminating propaganda, attempting to influence other countries' elections... so many values!

[–] [email protected] 19 points 4 months ago (1 children)

Don't forget the military rape culture!

[–] [email protected] 1 points 4 months ago (1 children)

But enough about the US Army!

[–] [email protected] -1 points 4 months ago

I'm ultimately pro western leadership, but everything they've accused Russia of in this thread so far could have just as easily been said for America...

And then there's the priests blessing nuclear weapons.

Seems some Americans are well on their way towards that already.

Yeah, but at least that isn't state-sponsored.

The order did not specify the values that would be promoted, but Russia has shown rising animosity toward Western social liberalism, particularly toward legitimizing nontraditional sexual relations and gender identity.

Sounds like they’re still working on the values, but they’ve nailed the prejudices

Sauron Calls For International Scheme Promoting “Orcish Values”

[–] ThePowerOfGeek 6 points 4 months ago

I assume this is a reference to The Last Ringbearer?

For those who don't know, The Last Ringbearer is an alternative (and anti-Western) account of Lord Of The Rings, written by a Russian author. And either as a cause or a consequence, a lot of Russians think of Sauron as a hero and Mordor as a down-trodden land that was ruined by the forces of the West. It really sums up the resentment and self-loathing sentiments many Russians have.

We already have vodka and alcoholism.

[–] Treczoks 23 points 4 months ago (1 children)

Russian values? Rape, Pillage, Torture, Murder?

[–] [email protected] 13 points 4 months ago (2 children)

You forgot Lie, Cheat, and Steal.

[–] ButtermilkBiscuit 9 points 4 months ago (1 children)

You both forgot the most important one: drunk

[–] Noodle07 3 points 4 months ago

À man's got to cope

[–] [email protected] 5 points 4 months ago (1 children)

Lie, Cheat, and Steal.

MAGA Republicans seem to have no problem embracing those.

[–] PorradaVFR 4 points 4 months ago

Yeah, they're Tools like that.

So ... propaganda? I guess he really wants to push those troll factories to their limit.

[–] Cuttlefish1111 1 points 4 months ago

He’s all in

[–] [email protected] 16 points 4 months ago (1 children)

Well the USA just had an attempted political assassination so we're getting there I suppose. We may have gotten the details a little un-russian but I'm sure we'll figure it out.

[–] andallthat 6 points 4 months ago (1 children)

yes, that was all completely wrong. If Trump had been the one on top of the building and had fallen down (maybe accidentally hitting a stray bullet on his way down)... now THAT would have been closer

[–] [email protected] 4 points 4 months ago

And there weren't even any windows involved.

[–] [email protected] 15 points 4 months ago (1 children)

I always figured Russian values were 9.8m^2

you know ... terminal... velocity from falling out of buildings.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 4 months ago (2 children)

Not sure about Russian units, but in the west, the acceleration towards earth aka gravity aka what happens when you stand to close to a window while not cheering for Putin is 9.81m/s^2.

Not sure what 9.8 square metres is...

[–] [email protected] 3 points 4 months ago

The splash zone

[–] [email protected] 1 points 4 months ago

haha you're right. i meant nine point eight meters per second per second

Russian values? I assume he means rape, murder, theft and rape.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 4 months ago

You forgot of being drunk af

Russians really like raping.

Illegal in Russia! Straight to Siberia with him!

[–] [email protected] 4 points 4 months ago

The problem is that we already value our land as much as Russia does, so we resist them taking it.

[–] drmoose 4 points 4 months ago

Russian tourists are notorious everywhere for their "values" so thanks but pass.

[–] JeeBaiChow 4 points 4 months ago

Seems to be working. Kursk oblast just had a bit of a 'special military operation', iirc.

[–] Cryophilia 3 points 4 months ago

I'm down for more vodka. Everything else, fuck off with that shit.

[–] UtMan1988 2 points 4 months ago

Woodrow Wilson already did this after WWI, and is kinda the figurehead behind a lot of toxic American "we're the best, so you all should be like us" nationalism.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 4 months ago

Super-value deal!
