Russia has shown rising animosity toward Western social liberalism, particularly toward legitimizing nontraditional sexual relations and gender identity.

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.

[–] FlyingSquid@lemmy.world 23 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Hacking, disseminating propaganda, attempting to influence other countries' elections... so many values!

[–] snooggums@midwest.social 19 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Don't forget the military rape culture!

[–] DragonTypeWyvern@midwest.social 1 points 1 month ago (1 children)

But enough about the US Army!

[–] ComradeKhoumrag@infosec.pub -1 points 1 month ago

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.

[–] FlyingSquid@lemmy.world 3 points 1 month ago

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”

[–] ThePowerOfGeek@lemmy.world 6 points 1 month ago

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.

[–] Treczoks@lemmy.world 23 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Russian values? Rape, Pillage, Torture, Murder?

[–] Rocketpoweredgorilla@lemmy.ca 13 points 1 month ago (2 children)

You forgot Lie, Cheat, and Steal.

[–] ButtermilkBiscuit@lemmy.world 9 points 1 month ago (1 children)

You both forgot the most important one: drunk

[–] Noodle07@lemmy.world 3 points 1 month ago

À man's got to cope

[–] kent_eh@lemmy.ca 5 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Lie, Cheat, and Steal.

MAGA Republicans seem to have no problem embracing those.

[–] PorradaVFR@lemmy.world 4 points 1 month ago

Yeah, they're Tools like that.

[–] TheObviousSolution@lemm.ee 18 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago) (1 children)

So ... propaganda? I guess he really wants to push those troll factories to their limit.

[–] Cuttlefish1111@lemmy.world 1 points 1 month ago

He’s all in

[–] nondescripthandle@lemmy.dbzer0.com 16 points 1 month ago (1 children)

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.

[–] andallthat@lemmy.world 6 points 1 month ago (1 children)

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.

[–] papacraw@lemm.ee 15 points 1 month ago (1 children)

I always figured Russian values were 9.8m^2

you know ... terminal... velocity from falling out of buildings.

[–] _edge@discuss.tchncs.de 4 points 1 month ago (2 children)

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...

[–] tiefling@lemmy.blahaj.zone 3 points 1 month ago

The splash zone

[–] papacraw@lemm.ee 1 points 1 month ago

haha you're right. i meant nine point eight meters per second per second

Russian values? I assume he means rape, murder, theft and rape.

[–] khaleer@sopuli.xyz 4 points 1 month ago

You forgot of being drunk af

[–] Ersatz86@lemmy.world 1 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago) (2 children)
[–] CoCo_Goldstein@lemmy.world 2 points 1 month ago

Russians really like raping.

[–] Dead_or_Alive@lemmy.world 2 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Illegal in Russia! Straight to Siberia with him!

[–] Klicnik@sh.itjust.works 4 points 1 month ago

The problem is that we already value our land as much as Russia does, so we resist them taking it.

[–] drmoose@lemmy.world 4 points 1 month ago

Russian tourists are notorious everywhere for their "values" so thanks but pass.

[–] JeeBaiChow@lemmy.world 4 points 1 month ago

Seems to be working. Kursk oblast just had a bit of a 'special military operation', iirc.

[–] Cryophilia@lemmy.world 3 points 1 month ago

I'm down for more vodka. Everything else, fuck off with that shit.

[–] UtMan1988@lemmy.world 2 points 1 month ago

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.

[–] Damage@feddit.it 1 points 1 month ago

Super-value deal!
