The Russians have a new EW system for individual protection - the bucket.
It was the bucket that one of the Katsaps put on his head when the Ronin launched your drone at them🔪 It didn’t help.
UPD: they write that it is not a bucket. And part of the washing machine😂
In 1945, my grandfather was due for being drafted into the Wehrmacht as part of one last, „glorious“ attempt to defend Germany against the Allies. All men his age, he was 17 at that time, got recruited into the Wehrmacht with soldiers roaming the streets and forcibly recruiting them.
Grandpa hid himself in the fucking basement for several months to not get drafted. Because he did not want to get killed by the decisions of some braindead fascist maniacs. He risked his life doing so, survived, and lived a fulfilled life afterwards, helping to rebuild then-destroyed Germany.
Mr. Washing Machine had a similar choice. He decided to help attack another country and got gored in the process, having a washing machine drum over his head. Fuck that guy.
Grandpa is/was an OG.
Taking brainwashing to a new level
Fuck commenters saying this is cruel. Fuck these buffoons.
Bomb your CO. Don’t support fascism or we’ll laugh at your death.
Can’t fascism and conscripts being thrown into a meat grinder both be bad? Isn’t one just a consequence of the other?
From that perspective, the fascists (Putin & co) have agency and the ability to decide their actions (attack another country), but the conscripts don’t, they’re passively „being thrown“. I strongly disagree with that point of view.
These conscripts at least partially decide to throw themselves into a meatgrinder, hoping for glory and money at the expense of the Ukrainian people. Fuck them.
Pretty sure a conscript’s motivations are avoiding prison or corporal punishment.
“conscripts” are still people with the power to choose what they will and what they will not do, if you choose to engage in a war of genocide for vladimir putin, pick up a gun, and shoot ukrainians protecting their out country, you’re fucking foreit as a going concern in my book. you don’t get to use the “well, they made me” excuse, you always have the choice in what you are willing to do, and what you are not
@downpunxx @LaFinlandia @deft @ThrowawayPermanente I dunno. They are told that if they say no, they will be shot. If they turn back, they will be shot. If they desert, they will be shot. Doesn’t sound like a lot of choice there to me.
still a choice to get shot or shoot other people, there is always a fucking choice, always
From the fact that you’re here, should we assume your choice was to kill people?
That’s unfortunate but you’re not forcing me to kill anyone I don’t understand how you could force anyone to.
It is a choice fuck em hope grenades blow all the teeth out of their skull and their hands are blown off.
So if someone hands you a gun and says “go kill people or I’ll shoot you” you’d choose to go murder people?
I don’t know how I’d act. That’s the point.
We can’t sit here all high and mighty saying we would or wouldn’t do something when we have no bloody idea.
This looks like a scene from looney tunes. It would be hilarious if it wasn’t so sad.
Same kind of reaction as when a grenade gets thrown into a room. We just have video footage of it now. It’s a fucked way to go, but they could have avoided it…
so that’s why they stole all the washing machines
By standing in the open like this, he just killed all of his buddies.
Ok, but did it work?
The colors bled out in the wash.
The wash was followed by a tumble-die?
when that video went to static, it means it blew up, and it was hovering right over his tub head, so i’m guessing it got his neck, shoulders, chest, sternum, and belly. i’m guessing his head was still in one piece though, so “worked” is difficult to define
Oh, you wanted detergent! I thought you said detonation. My bad.
This is not funny at all
I don’t think it’s supposed to be funny. It’s war.
I don’t understand people watching or sharing gore/snuff videos.
It‘s propaganda. You show it to your people to reassure them that the enemy is getting mamed and punished to appeal to their need for revenge.
And you hope this stuff gets spread within circles of the enemy to show them they will be killed, crippled and gored if they oppose you.
Yeah, I guess that is true. But somehow I feel more disgusted by music being added to to it, and I guess it’s a turn off for a lot people to see death celebrated in this manner. This soldier was just born on the wrong side, he’s a victim of his circumstances.
I agree, those 30s clips that show a person getting blown into pieces are dehumanizing. So is war in general.
But remember who is on the right side of history in this. I am convinced the Ukrainian that edited this clip would rather do something different with their life. Their country got attacked though, and propaganda videos like this one are one way of defending it.
I think I agree to some extent, but I also think that we’re entering the territory of human psychology. Stuff like this can have the reverse effect, we can look at the effect of ISIS and their gore/snuff video campaigns which made the whole world turn against them, and had a moral bolstering effect of the opposition. Sure in the beginning people were afraid of ISIS, but then it transformed into another feeling, a feeling of revenge/justice for the murdered.
I just want to say, this isn’t random Ukrainian editing this, the camera is on the drone, it’s obviously military propaganda. The Russians do the same, so I’m not calling out Ukraine in anyway.
I think I get your thinking, the options would be a) to produce these clips, or b) not to. I‘m not an expert in military propaganda, maybe @LaFinlandia@sopuli.xyz can explain: How would the war evolve if let‘s say only Russia produced these videos, but Ukraine didn’t? I imagine Ukraine would look weak to the outside observer, is that correct? What other effects do you obtain from producing these?
I don’t know, I think it’s still possible for Ukrainain military to release videos, but cut the ISIS style music videos and the horrible way of killing a person. To me personally, it gives the essence of seeing human life as being nothing more than sick joke. That’s probably how Russians can do horrible things to Ukrainains or other people, and I don’t think dehumanizing human beings is healthy for anyone or any society. And I do have a higher standard for our allies, to not become the evil they’re fighting.
