it's almost like "woke" has always meant aware, and being anti it is being willfully unaware of how the world work

Anti woke is literally pride in ignorance

He’s 46, in case anyone is wondering how deep Russia is digging for frontline soldiers.

I don't think we can ignore the context of him being not-Russian. That makes him entirely expendable, moreso than the (fairly expendable) native conscripted Russians.

He wanted to earn the Russians respect by joining the army and said that many Americans that move to Russia don't do it, then he's shocked to find out that he will actually be in a combat role instead of earning the respect by being a military welder that wouldn't see combat

So he wanted to earn the respect of the Russians by joining the military..... On a cushy job away from the front?

Talk about entitlement, but that's kind of expected nowadays with MAGAs

it's almost like people on the margins should be trusted more than state propaganda or something

As with all Nazis, here's hoping he dies before he gets a chance to do any real damage.

You won't be missed, traitor. Except perhaps by the Ukrainian sunflowers once they've exhausted the fertilizer spilling out of your veins.

Two in the thoughts and one in the prayers. Good luck ya’ll.

Oh dear. How sad. Never mind.

[–] ProfThadBach@lemmy.world 4 points 2 months ago

I wonder if he is dead yet?

Wow. How ignorant do you have to be to move to Russia to avoid your children being taught about acceptance and inclusion (LGBTQ+).

But I doubt Fox News is picking up this story, so the people who need to hear this the most never will.
