While I have seen racist uses of monkey imagery towards black people, never have I seen it towards Russians.
Ever since Putin’s invasion of Ukraine, German discourse at least was full of racist remarks on how russians basically have no culture, aren’t even European, etc.
I’d argue that comparing people to Apes should be judged just like depicting people like squids/kraken (which is an antisemitic caricature).
You sure hide your views that russians are subhumans quite well.
And I can’t be racist against muslims, because that’s a religion, not a race, amiright? /s
=.=
But I can hardly still connect it to mindless rascism since there are quite a few reasons why monkey comparison is used.
Are the reasons because russians are sub-humans, maybe? /s
There is a cult of personality around Putin, or any other dictator. Where making fun of him, lands you in jail. Public images like that are a fight against it. (Like Jinping drawn like winnie pooh).
Again: how does this excuse racism? You’re constantly dodging the issue.
Also I’m pretty sure that you’re the one being racist.
Ah, the good old alt-right defense of “I can’t be racist if I didn’t think about it. In fact, if you think aboutit, you’re the racist”-defense. 🙄
Well… They’re not paid to do so, so. Yeah.
I’ve seriously learned a bit about computer architecture from OoT speedruns.
Thanks, I know of Hitler and Mein Kampf. I even know German, wouldn’t you believe it. 🙄 (Also: the better translation would be “My Struggle”)
Can’t you see that the image looks a lot like racist caricatures of when humans (usually plack people) where drawn like/compared to apes.
Is it that you look highly at Putin and have embraced his cult of personality?
WTF? Taking umbridge with racist imagery means that I’m a Putin simp now? Do you *reallyy think that racist caricatures are OK when it’s directed at the “right” people? O.o
Putin’s clearly supposed to look like a monkey in the picture (also: “Mein Banan”). I didn’t even see the connection to Hitler.
Wow, that degree of blatant racism is a new low for this community.
So it’s ok to be racist as long as it’s against russians?
I’m happy if it’s actually running in python and not a javascript app with electron.
Of course it bothers me. How is it connected to the recent election, though?
Bingo. Which is why I find it weird that you bring up the election at all.
When? In 2020, or in 2024? beca^se both are correct.
Do you consider “slaves” as “normal people”?
The fall of the roman empire was a great thing for many people who didn’t get to lament their woes on a medium that could survive the centuries.
Yeah, it fits perfectly with the other thing they don’t want their people to know about (anarchy).
Thank you, general secretary of the *checks notes* Communist Party of China…
The Council of Islamic Ideology said the technology was being used in Pakistan to access content prohibited according to Islamic principles or forbidden by law, including “[…]websites that spread anarchy […].”
So they admit it’s not (only) about morals, but also (or mostly) about their position of power not being threatened.
BTW: By blocking access to the internet, they stop people from following the order in the Quoran which states that people should educate themselves.
Freetube on Linux, newpipe on android and maybe a private invidious instance.
“I’m not antisemitic. I really like the good Jews”. /s
