I thought he was already defeated by Tank.
Did everyone already forget the “Z” symbols on Russia’s vehicles at the beginning of the invasion? Wtf
They were just honoring Zelensky
Isn’t it basically holocaust denial to compare modern Russia to the Nazis?
Yes
Far less offensive than comparing the Soviet Union to the Nazis.
Yeah, this isn’t some made up lib stuff, Russian armed forces were literally marking themselves with a Z. The tweet is of course dumb still.
Seriously. This is some worrying historical illiteracy being displayed here.
Sometimes I wonder if it is people just being willfully obtuse. Like, a random twitter user not getting it I understand, but given the absolute shitton of posts about the war on here you’d think people would recognize it.
It would be like discussing the Vietnam war and calling people nerds for knowing who “Charlie” is or something.
Ah, but you are assuming that most people are engaging with the discussion to add something or to learn. The majority of the time people are just flapping their lips to sound knowledgeable and authoritative about it and thus feed their ego. It doesn’t matter if they actually are, only that they think they are and come across to other ignoramuses that they are.
how did you get that out of someone asking what something means?
Redditor
do that but we try our best to deliberately call out that behavior when we see it
This is the first I’ve ever heard of Zs being used on Russian vehicles. I’ve never spent long enough examining any of the war footage in detail to go like “oh there’s a little letter Z painted on that tank”, at most I might think “the tank is painted with some markings to identify it” and move on to whatever the actual focus of the picture was.
What? The whole half year of the invasion was spend with ruzzia and omg z is the new swastika (it isnt)
I don’t not believe this is a thing, I’m mainly bewildered at how I managed to never hear of this at all until now. Apparently I don’t hang out in the right parts of the internet to have seen this, from my recollection the first 6 months of the war was mainly people adding the Ukraine flag to their usernames and spamming it everywhere, plus some grainy footage on r/CrazyFuckingVideos etc.
It wasn’t just used on the vehicles that you could see in grainy war footage. It has been widely used in both pro and anti russian demonstrations for the last 3 years as a symbol for the war. How about instead of instantly assuming that someone you disagree with is inherently wrong about everything and trying to clown on them you look it up?
At worst this is just an example of the “oh, you think posting about milk is racist”
shit. It isn’t really a subtle symbol at all, it is at about the same level as using watermelons for Palestine.Then either you’ve been living under a rock, are very young, or the algorithm of the platforms you use has not been showing you that, because it’s been openly used as a marking on their military vehicles since day 1 of the Ukraine invasion, and has become a symbol for both sides of propaganda.
Or when you spent “long enough researching in detail” you somehow missed the Wikipedia page for it (first result in Kagi and third in DDG for “Z symbol” - link doesn’t render properly on some clients because it has parentheses)
Z
Zee?
Zed?
Izzard?
Ok first of all, Nazism was never fully defeated thanks the the West not denazifying properly after WW2 and then spreading it to post Soviet countries and the Middle East after the the fall of the USSR.
Second of all, communism was never truely defeated as there are still communist countries out there, and for the rest of us it lives on in our hearts.
they operation paperclipped them all over the us too for that matter
Thirdly, imperialism was never fully defeated, just fought over.

Lmao you answered with russophobic homophobia. Russophobia coming from German people should be treated as what it is: a remnant of Nazism brainworm in your society. Seriously, you can’t understand why, as a German, you should be as careful around Russians (of whom more than 10 million died in the struggle against Nazism) as around Jewish people?
Libs in this country truly will whine about how zionist putting babies into lawn mowers is good because its valuing jewish life but then turn adolf mode when it comes to russians, also victims of the holocaust/hungerplan ost
A German posting Holocaust denial? What a non-surprise
UDSSR
German lib detected: opinion ignored.
Go get a grip, your country is literally supporting genocide right now. I know it hurts too much that the Soviets defeated your Nazi ancestors, but try and get over it buddy
Germans, Poles and Baltoids are easy ignores 9 times out of 10. Truly the worst politics on the face of the planet.
US libs also conveniently use them as “victims of communism” to try to fold prospective communists back in
Even on a planet where the USA exists?
American at least has an anti-imperialist and marxist left, as small and marginalized as it may be. In Germany there only be monsters
It’s really that bad, huh? Damn 💀
Its hyperbolic. MLs however are the only ones that arent fash about russia & palestine, anarchs and radlibs are whats described though. And they are greatly at fault for punching left all the time by calling antisemities all the time, when they advocate for palestine.
you got the zionists, you got the pro-NATO punks, you got the nazbols, you got the Greens who want WW3 and are actually super villains
In America you have a diverse and large proletariat, although confused and corrupt there at least is historical knowledge of struggle for civil rights, gay rights, anti-war movements, indigenous rights, immigrant rights, etc.
In Germany you have a bunch of people who are closet Nazis, literally just believe what their grandparents did but keep it on the downlow, or arrogant libs who think they had a PhD in Genocide studies to scold everyone else in the world about how they are anti-semites for opposing Israel in any way while they attend dinner parties with the aforementioned fascists.
In Germany even the left is pro-Israel, obsessed with respectability, pro-NATO and anti-Russia.

Homophobic anti-communist? Unsurprising.
Usually they respond to these accusations with ‘BUT I DIDNT SAY ANYTHING ABOUT GAYS!’
For me, the worst problem with sexual insults (aside from how obnoxiously high schoolish they sound) is that they rely on our culture’s stigmatization of sex to be effective. They simply don’t work if you see sexual favours merely as personal matters rather than phenomena that are somehow ‘inherently’ shameful.
I have never been into fellation. I would prefer not to see anybody either discuss or mention it on a regular basis. But employing it as an insolent metaphor should not make any sense, in the same way that nobody employs massages or assisted bathing as insolent metaphors. There are phenomena so much worse than fellating somebody, and employing it as a metaphor implies that merely aiding someone is neither serious nor shocking enough.
Well it no longer mocks sexuality in general, it’s specifically hyperreactionary because it’s misogynistic/homophobic. The insults are always attacking the person “getting fucked” not “doing the fucking”. There’s an inherent pro-top anti-bottom bias where it’s demeaning to have sex with men.
Who did he kill?

Comparing a famine to intentional genocide is certainly a choice.
The Soviet Union saved Europe. "Anyone who loves freedom owes such a debt to the Red Army that it can never be repaid.” — Ernest Hemingway.
Oh yeah because no one here has heard about the holodomor lmao.
You do realise capitalist famines make this shit look like baby numbers, right?
We probably should avoid using that term ourselves just to avoid accidentally ceding any ground to this genocidal argument
It was actually the bowlodomor and Stalin really packed all the weed from
into his giant bong before inhaling it all in a single rip, then with all that smoke still in his lungs he shouted “I am the dragon of Communism!” before exhaling a cloud of smoke so big it blocked out the sky
Its the loldomor, sweaty
Lmaodomor
over a billion in India and Bangladesh alone
new schema just dropped
Like with a big knife?
No, a big SPORK (the most communist utensil)
Wrong piece of cutlery. Stalin killed them all with his comically large spoon.

Firstly, the Holodomor was a term coined by Nazi propagandists.
Secondly, it was a famine not an intentional attempt at genocide, as evidenced by the fact that they were actively trying to get grain to starving people locally while the USSR scampered to try and find an overall solution to the famine.
Thirdly, it was in no way comparable to the Holocaust let alone worse, what you are doing is Holocaust trivialisation.
Go read up on the criticisms of double genocide theory and don’t come back until you’ve washed the stench of Goebbels propaganda out of your mouth.
Oh, and we’ll probably never know just how many died after capitalists chose profit over beating COVID because they stopped properly recording the death toll, but it’s estimated to be in between 19.1 and 36 million deaths so far, with an entire generation having their immune system permanently crippled.
Are you 14 years old?
People will deny this but if you pay close attention, you’ll notice that “UDSSR” actually stands for “Universal Deathcamp Soviet Socialist Republics”
I thought it meant Zelenskyy. Literally the only Z I could think of.
why do you think i post z?
You’re sleepy
shhh… that’s right, lie down sleepy-head
The ’Z’ symbol is commonly associated in Russia with the ongoing military action in Ukraine as some of the troops participating in the operation had been seen marking their heavy equipment and vehicles with it. It is also considered to be a sign of support for Moscow’s operation and the Russian troops fighting in Ukraine.
https://archive.is/3JNj1 (Russia Today - April 2022)
People who support Russia use the letter Z as a logo/symbol. Ukraine flag NATO twitter posters also refers to Russian people with the letter Z. The Z symbol does not come from “ruzzia” as OP said. “ruzzia” was made up by libs after they saw the Russian military photos.
The YourAnonCentral twitter account is a huge lib and honestly this post is mild in comparison to their other posts, in terms liberalism. Try to make sense of their post below.
meanwhile these dronies support Al Jolani, ETIP and Tornado battalion

Russia. It’s Russia.
