Sure, let's promote Russian values. Values like invading your neighbors, murdering political rivals and oppressing queer people.
And then there's the priests blessing nuclear weapons.
All sorts of fine values.
There's also swindling, cheating, bribery and corruption. And don't forget bigotry.
Hacking, disseminating propaganda, attempting to influence other countries' elections... so many values!
Don't forget the military rape culture!
But enough about the US Army!
I'm ultimately pro western leadership, but everything they've accused Russia of in this thread so far could have just as easily been said for America...
And then there's the priests blessing nuclear weapons.
Seems some Americans are well on their way towards that already.
Yeah, but at least that isn't state-sponsored.
The order did not specify the values that would be promoted, but Russia has shown rising animosity toward Western social liberalism, particularly toward legitimizing nontraditional sexual relations and gender identity.
Sounds like they’re still working on the values, but they’ve nailed the prejudices
Sauron Calls For International Scheme Promoting “Orcish Values”
I assume this is a reference to The Last Ringbearer?
For those who don't know, The Last Ringbearer is an alternative (and anti-Western) account of Lord Of The Rings, written by a Russian author. And either as a cause or a consequence, a lot of Russians think of Sauron as a hero and Mordor as a down-trodden land that was ruined by the forces of the West. It really sums up the resentment and self-loathing sentiments many Russians have.
We already have vodka and alcoholism.
Russian values? Rape, Pillage, Torture, Murder?
You forgot Lie, Cheat, and Steal.
You both forgot the most important one: drunk
À man's got to cope
Lie, Cheat, and Steal.
MAGA Republicans seem to have no problem embracing those.
Yeah, they're Tools like that.
So ... propaganda? I guess he really wants to push those troll factories to their limit.
He’s all in
Well the USA just had an attempted political assassination so we're getting there I suppose. We may have gotten the details a little un-russian but I'm sure we'll figure it out.
yes, that was all completely wrong. If Trump had been the one on top of the building and had fallen down (maybe accidentally hitting a stray bullet on his way down)... now THAT would have been closer
And there weren't even any windows involved.
I always figured Russian values were 9.8m^2
you know ... terminal... velocity from falling out of buildings.
Not sure about Russian units, but in the west, the acceleration towards earth aka gravity aka what happens when you stand to close to a window while not cheering for Putin is 9.81m/s^2.
Not sure what 9.8 square metres is...
The splash zone
haha you're right. i meant nine point eight meters per second per second
No go away
Russian values? I assume he means rape, murder, theft and rape.
You forgot of being drunk af
You said rape twice
Russians really like raping.
Shhhh let him cook.
He likes rape
Suck a dick, Poutin.
Illegal in Russia! Straight to Siberia with him!
Seems to be working. Kursk oblast just had a bit of a 'special military operation', iirc.
Russian tourists are notorious everywhere for their "values" so thanks but pass.
The problem is that we already value our land as much as Russia does, so we resist them taking it.
I'm down for more vodka. Everything else, fuck off with that shit.
Woodrow Wilson already did this after WWI, and is kinda the figurehead behind a lot of toxic American "we're the best, so you all should be like us" nationalism.
Super-value deal!

Rule 1: posts have the following requirements:
Rule 2: Do not copy the entire article into your post. The key points in 1-2 paragraphs is allowed (even encouraged!), but large segments of articles posted in the body will result in the post being removed. If you have to stop and think "Is this fair use?", it probably isn't. Archive links, especially the ones created on link submission, are absolutely allowed but those that avoid paywalls are not.
Rule 3: Opinions articles, or Articles based on misinformation/propaganda may be removed. Sources that have a Low or Very Low factual reporting rating or MBFC Credibility Rating may be removed.
Rule 4: Posts or comments that are homophobic, transphobic, racist, sexist, anti-religious, or ableist will be removed. “Ironic” prejudice is just prejudiced.
Posts and comments must abide by the lemmy.world terms of service UPDATED AS OF 10/19
Rule 5: Keep it civil. It's OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It's NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
Rule 6: Memes, spam, other low effort posting, reposts, misinformation, advocating violence, off-topic, trolling, offensive, regarding the moderators or meta in content may be removed at any time.
Rule 7: We didn't USED to need a rule about how many posts one could make in a day, then someone posted NINETEEN articles in a single day. Not comments, FULL ARTICLES. If you're posting more than say, 10 or so, consider going outside and touching grass. We reserve the right to limit over-posting so a single user does not dominate the front page.
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.
