Pootin

RuSSia

Dude, grow up. There’s plenty of ways to criticize Russia without resorting to literal children’s humor.

Nah, fuck Russia and any kind of legacy pooty poots wants. The less his name shows up correct, the less he will be remembered.

It’s dumb, but if it catches on we can begin referring to his Chinese colleague as Poohtin. So I’m all for it.

The less you remember, the more open is the gate for the next one like him to show up. It’s for a similar reason that Germans very much do make sure the Nazis aren’t forgotten about, e.g. Let him have his fame in history books.

As an example of what to avoid and how to avoid getting someone like him back.

The current trend of nationalists who willingly adopt the Nazi theme and name is strong and everyone remembers Hitler very clearly. The problem is that the name is also shorthand for other Nazi bullshit. The message of nationalism is clear - teach the subject, show how it works and what to look out for, and attach no person to the ideology to undercut any culture growth around the celebrity.

The surest way to deter fascists is to make the losers look as uncool as they are by making fun of them. Even small nothing statements get under the skin of the dictators so be juvenile and save history.

Yeah I’m not sure how much room “PP BOY” has when it comes to telling people to grow up.

I don’t mind the second one but the first one is literally bypassing post filters.

No such thing. Ask away!

!nostupidquestions is a community dedicated to being helpful and answering each others’ questions on various topics.

The rules for posting and commenting, besides the rules defined here for lemmy.world, are as follows:

Rules (interactive)


Rule 1- All posts must be legitimate questions. All post titles must include a question.

All posts must be legitimate questions, and all post titles must include a question. Questions that are joke or trolling questions, memes, song lyrics as title, etc. are not allowed here. See Rule 6 for all exceptions.



Rule 2- Your question subject cannot be illegal or NSFW material.

Your question subject cannot be illegal or NSFW material. You will be warned first, banned second.



Rule 3- Do not seek mental, medical and professional help here.

Do not seek mental, medical and professional help here. Breaking this rule will not get you or your post removed, but it will put you at risk, and possibly in danger.



Rule 4- No self promotion or upvote-farming of any kind.

That’s it.



Rule 5- No baiting or sealioning or promoting an agenda.

Questions which, instead of being of an innocuous nature, are specifically intended (based on reports and in the opinion of our crack moderation team) to bait users into ideological wars on charged political topics will be removed and the authors warned - or banned - depending on severity.



Rule 6- Regarding META posts and joke questions.

Provided it is about the community itself, you may post non-question posts using the [META] tag on your post title.

On fridays, you are allowed to post meme and troll questions, on the condition that it’s in text format only, and conforms with our other rules. These posts MUST include the [NSQ Friday] tag in their title.

If you post a serious question on friday and are looking only for legitimate answers, then please include the [Serious] tag on your post. Irrelevant replies will then be removed by moderators.



Rule 7- You can't intentionally annoy, mock, or harass other members.

If you intentionally annoy, mock, harass, or discriminate against any individual member, you will be removed.

Likewise, if you are a member, sympathiser or a resemblant of a movement that is known to largely hate, mock, discriminate against, and/or want to take lives of a group of people, and you were provably vocal about your hate, then you will be banned on sight.



Rule 8- All comments should try to stay relevant to their parent content.

Rule 9- Reposts from other platforms are not allowed.

Let everyone have their own content.



Rule 10- Majority of bots aren't allowed to participate here.
