Aloha and Seasons Greetings Comrades! Pull up a chair, say hello, vent, or just stare until someone screams! This is the Weekly Discussion Thread, where grain is eaten and dreams are made or something.

      I think because orks made some moderates uncomfortable after the initial bloodlust and indignation wore off, so they’ve had to move to making it seem like all of Russia are just Putin’s mindless puppets.

        Libs are surprisingly okay with denying agency to the ‘uncivilised’ (a term which must be in quotation marks because Western ‘civilisation’ hasn’t managed to work out how to feed 1 billion people from the mountains of food stolen from 4+ billion other people).

      I’ve played the thick with this and asked them what they meant. Ah inhabitant of Moscow? How is that relevant?

      Just to get them to admit they were trying to use a slur.

      Same with “Ruzzia”, they can’t help but feel stupid when they have to explain.
