This one is really something.
So they are a child then
Yeah. If it was an adult, they might know it's an ad hominem.
How can you know enough to be aware that whataboutism is a word but not know what it actually means??? The mind boggles
Pretty sure that one is just trolling. It's a stock response, they're probably just throwing it out to frustrate Tuga.
Lol for sure a bit
lmao funny reply, I'm iffy on the bit as a whole though
'Grandpa what did you do during the war?'
' Told people on the internet they were doing a heckin whataboutism sweetheart'
'But, isn't that pretty lame? Your name was Warrior of Ukraine, shouldn't you have been in the trenches with your friends?'
'Whataboutism'
is one of our best new emotes
That's a bit account. No, it can't be real. Someone from Hexbear just made a checklist of lib cliches and going through it.
Contra to some other people, I don't think this is a bit account, just a Ukrainian nationalist (fascist) who also hates euro libs
You may be right
He's like the low hanging fruit of dunking. You kind of feel shame for them due to how easy it is to dunk on people like that.
Like can you imagine that? Actually being that low hanging fruit? Jesus what a torturing existence.
we get a lot of low effort trolls here. it might get repetitive, but it makes them easier to spot
This fruit is actually below sea level hanging in a sinkhole next to the tree
might be a bit account, saw them shit talking the west for rehabilitating nazis in some thread
Yes, that's a great bit. A lot of personality, not your regular shallow parody.
Lol are they shit talking Vijay Prashad?
Surprisingly no. That was the link:
Ah, probably wouldn't be a fan of this either.
I refuse to believe this is a real person. This is just a bot designed to parrot anti-com arguments or an elaborate troll. Something something Poe's law.
We already saw what the Soviets did to Europe and the Russians are trying to do that again.
Well, that's… Sure is something.
That is a very funny, almost right take. I've not seen that particular one before.
So what, this guy is suggesting some kind of "third way" or...oh.
Damn an actual nazi that's crazy
Pretending to be a Nazi as a bit
Its literally
I appreciate the edit that removes the ableism from this.
I'm pretty sure they're a bit account. I've seen them have a not bad take on something before, and it seems too aware when admitting Azov are nazis since the standard lib line is to deflect from it.
This might be a bit account but there are plenty of fascists running around in UA that genuinely, sincerely believe this with no trace of irony or self awareness.
Perrenial reminder that the OUN-B, Bandera's fascist outfit, never had more than 20k members, and the UPA insurgency never had more than 100k. Meanwhile there were between 4 million and 7 million comrades from Ukraine in the Red Army and I hope most of them passed peacefully before they could see what has been done to their country.
Also important to remember is that the West helped a lot of OUN, etc. members escape to the US and especially Canada, then helped and their wretched spawn gain power in post Soviet Ukraine. Mass support for Banderism didn't just sprout up completely organically in modern Ukraine.
Yeah, I follow Banderalobby.substack.com and they're all about keeping track of Banderites in North America and what they're up to around the world. It's certainly interesting and gives some perspective on what's happened. They had very interesting post when that Canadian vice-PM or whatever turned up at a photo op and received a Blood and Soil scarf from an OUN-B group.
Ooh, I'll have to check that substack out, haven't seen it before. Thanks!
I got into an argument with someone who said it doesn’t matter that Victoria Nuland handpicked the unelected successor to the overthrown Ukrainian government in 2014, because they (the poster) handpicked Joe Biden to be president in 2020 and he happened to win. These people literally can’t understand anything that challenges the idea of American exceptionalism.
Jesus Christ, an honest to god Nazi.
I'm pretty sure this is a bit account.
Comrade Amogus appreciates the new technology that makes his job easier!
