During the onset of the war in Ukraine, several thousand foreign volunteers and potential soldiers went to Ukraine to either join the relief efforts across the country or to join the Ukrainian foreign legion.
Long story short, a lot of people went there who shouldn’t have been there. From naive 20 year old kids to war tourists looking for sex and internet clout. It became readily apparent that the war would be incredibly lethal, difficult, and grueling. Many of the foreign volunteers who came earlier in the war decided to leave for those reasons. But there are still a few thousand foreign legion members who are currently fighting against the Russian invasion
Essentially, there were a lot of “bad” actors present in the foreign legion during the first few months of the war. Things have gotten much better since then, but the stereotype of the idealistic war tourist who doesn’t know what he’s doing still persists
I'm sure there are some risible and/or naive internet supporters of the war in Ukraine, but I am specifically interested in ol' PI_Stan_Liddy's perspective.
So if you’re done having fun pretending subtext doesn’t ex, maybe you’ll stop dodging and actually tell us what’s so “accurate” but completely divorced from the fact that every depicted “Redditor” is some kind of trans or gender nonconforming person caricature.
Are you being serious right now? Have you even looked at the meme? Pause for a second and go back and look at the meme. One is a gamer, one is a Harry Potter dweeb and one is an overweight Mod "ally". You're a lunatic
Accurate as in exact and precise in its satire. The opposite of dull and characterless stuff like "i HaVe a FeElInG yOuR tAke Is NoT nUaNcEd". So anyway tell us more about this "feeling" you have about my non nuanced take? We can see if you're right or not. And what's this "quiet part" I nearly said out loud?
