I still remember when they hit a guy in the face with a cream pie made out of horse cum when he won some prize they were giving out for worst reporter in Russia. They had pictures so I'm pretty sure that one actually happened.

A.o.D. posted:A common epithet in Ukraine and the Russophobic slavosphere for the Russian military and (unfortunately)Russians in general is "orc". While there is certainly cause for bad blood, it's still not a good look to imply that an opposed group of people are subhuman. Still waiting for someone to make a Warhammer 40k diorama with Ukrainian space marines and space orks brandishing the Z symbol.

Lum_ posted:It actually came from a book which was rather good revisionist history, not antisemitic at all that I can recall. Yeah I'm not saying the last ringbearer was anti-semitic, I'm saying a bunch of the russian media and popular fantasizing about identifying with orcs has explicitly antisemitic (and related) themes. idk if Last Ringbearer is the specific origin or not (likely may well be or may well predate it), but especially post 2014 it's actively and explicitly been embraced as a positive thing by the Russian right and as such has become the vehicle for really all of the lovely stuff you'd expect out of the russian right. A bunch of the orc stuff from russian nationalists does predate the crimean invasion by a decade or more and while it was a thing already, I guess 2014 brought it much more front and center. this was the specific song I was referencing https://www.eliotborenstein.net/soviet-self-hatred/njmrdivc10ffjo8rdx1asvwg8z8ftv Same dude goes through a bunch of other russian popular media uses of orc and there's a lot more in that same vein [author is a professor of russian and slavic studies at NYU] Herstory Begins Now fucked around with this message at 23:01 on Jun 15, 2022 |

Herstory Begins Now posted:this was the specific song I was referencing That whole article series is really interesting, thanks. The author does acknowledge/contextualize The Last Ringbearer as part of the whole weird post-Soviet take on Tolkien, of which the far right are just the worst/ugliest. I guess it’s of a piece with the Wagner Group’s leader fanboying over Nazi Germany (Soviet Russia’s most dangerous enemy).

Lum_ posted:Really though, the best way to experience 1990s Russia is this series of TV ads. It's for a literal no-poo poo ponzi scheme that was wildly successful because of, well, lots of TV ads. Current "president" of the so-called DNR Denis Pushilin was a mid-level participant in the last incarnation of MMM, proving that satire is a dead genre Nuclear Tourist posted:Still waiting for someone to make a Warhammer 40k diorama with Ukrainian space marines and space orks brandishing the Z symbol. 40k orks are too cool for that

Couple of fun developments. Ukraine apparently attacked Russian offshore platforms in the Black Sea (they were captured by Russia from Ukraine in 2014). https://www.theguardian.com/world/2022/jun/20/ukrainian-missiles-hit-black-sea-gas-platforms-russian-officials And Lithuania is blocking Kaliningrad from receiving supplies sanctioned by the EU via rail, prompting Russia to threaten to retaliate. https://www.theguardian.com/world/2022/jun/20/russia-condemns-lithuania-transit-ban-some-goods-kaliningrad

Russia choking off Europe from gas and (I'm sure in the near future) oil deliveries was a dumb move, because now there's nobody left to give a poo poo about Ukraine targeting their infrastructure.
