    I want to outline what just happened here.

    Someone posted a meme making fun of people saying two things can be bad, implying one side (Russia) isn’t really bad. Someone replies that the overt nazi stuff putin says is pretty bad.

    You reply with whatabout Ukraine nazis.

    Either you are agreeing with the point that two things can be bad at the same time, or saying that one side doing nazi stuff is fine, actually because the other side does as well. Which is it?

    There was a big push to make “African American” the politically correct term in the late 00s, but for basically every reason you mentioned, it didn’t quite catch.

    The term AAVE was coined in 1973 as a replacement for “ebonics” and it spread throughout the 80s and 90s. There’s a bunch more info about it on the wiki and I don’t think I can succinctly summarize it, but it’s an interesting read.




  • Implying the west had anything to do with it is actually NATO propaganda. Do you think Russia is so weak, or NATO is so strong, that putin can be forced to send over a million troops into a meat grinder while emptying soviet vehicle and ammo stocks? Not to mention the latest and greatest in Russian armor being pulled off the front lines because a few got blown up in 4k and they don’t have the manufacturing capacity to replace them. All of this by simply letting Russia’s neighbors join and hinting that Ukraine might join too? That’s some insane 5d chess and I refuse to give NATO that much credit.
