    In what fucking world do people who unquestioningly believe Russian propaganda qualify as “uncompromising pacifists”?

      I don’t actually know what vatnik means. I was guessing from context that it meant Communist or leftist or something.

        We’re on the internet, bro. You have a search engine right fucking there. I didn’t know what vatnik meant either until I googled it 20 seconds ago. What is your excuse?

          I googled and found it was a kind of jacket used in the Red Army.

          British people call nerds “anoraks” because of a type of sweater they stereotypically wear. (It comes up a lot in Doctor Who fandom.) I thought “vatnik” was maybe a creative way of calling me a Communist nerd, modelled on anorak.
