Everyone can have their own opinions on everything and that’s fine, and if someone decides to back what you think is the wrong side then thats fine too, there’s a VERY limited amount of unbiased and factual information about all the wars going on out there and even these facts are gonna sound different because the outlets frame them in a biased way. This happens on both sides
With this in mind, it’s alright to have a conversation and an argument about what you believe is true and right but degrading/name calling countries/leaders isn’t gonna help get your point across it’s just gonna make you sound like a child.
Yes, have conversations, prove points and try to understand what the other person is saying, you could learn a thing or two but don’t get emotions involved(I understand it’s hard for people involved) but degrading comments are not gonna help you win anything, you just come off as stupid and most of not all rational people are just gonna discredit your whole statement based on how you talk.

The guys invading are the bad guys
People who wanna wield control over entire societies are worthy of such scorn
It does make spotting idiots easier, though.
If only people would realize this about US politics
It makes it easy to spot a primitive. If a person namecalls after passing 12 years of age and still think its imaginative and funny… well, that tells you everything you need to know.
Edit: that does not mean I dont consider Russia a disgusting vile entity and a dangerous enemy…
Personally I’ve never seen anyone doing this…. so I googled it to get a better understanding.
For zeolinsky there was nothing…. this thread and a tiktok link about Poland and Sweden relations (?)…
For ruzzia there was again, this thread…. and some other reddit thread that explained its vaguely anti Russian term.
So I dunno…. I guess I still think nobody does this. BUT if you do ever hear it your dealing with a terminally online locked in redditor and you should probably disengage. AND if it continues in use my honest prediction is that it gets co opted by pro-Russian netizens and move from being vaguely anti russian in origin to “..uh… what?”
If no respect is given, such as supporting those who would wage a brutal war to steal another’s land and erase their culture unprovoked, none need be returned.
Not that it would particularly effective against blind nationalism.
I haven’t heard these terms. I feel blessed that my lack of internet forum usage has rendered me ignorant.
What do those terms actually mean? What’s the context?
A nation which invades and terrorizes its neighbor–including through the indiscriminate targeting of civilians–deserves to be denigrated. Furthermore, “Ruzzia” came about due to Russia’s own use of the letter Z to first mark military vehicles headed for Ukraine and then as a way of expressing support for the war. Turning that around on them is only fitting.
> if someone decides to back what you think is the wrong side
There’s a very obvious wrong side in this issue and no backing them is not fine at all
Ukraine didn’t do shit before Russia invaded soooo
I’ve never heard any of these.
This happens a lot in true crime communities, and I can’t stand it. Please: Stop gleefully thinking up puns for some murderer’s name to make them sound like a loser. They already sound like a loser.
Drives me batty.
I hate this trend in general, calling Trump Drumpf, Biden nicknamed as Bidet…
