I’ll start. Een Soviet Russia:
- computer hacks you.
- tv watches you
- car drives you
- gun shoot you
- neighbour hear you
- music listens to you
- alcohol drinks you
- window smashes you
That’s all I got for now. Let’s have some more laughs at Russia’s expense.
'Slava!
“The Ritz is PUTIN on YOU”.
Fuck you, thats amazing Bro
“Heya! Fucka ME?! Fucka YOU!!!”
Glad you like it.
IN RUSSIA THE POSTS UPVOTE YOU.
In Soviet Russia, post deletes YOU
Edit: question is it funnier/authentic-er to say the proper English conjugation or not (vs “thread post YOU” without the
s)
Btw, “Slava” by itself can totally be interpreted as the reader wants, as it can be “Slava USSR!”
It’s just “glory”
Sorry, I thought I was being… I don’t know. I’ll err on the side of clarity going forward.
Slava Unkraini!
Edit: altho, at this point, I think you guys pretty much “own”
Slava🤠😜 I can’t see any Russian saying it and not having a serious risk of being disappeared.
- government votes for you 😉
Damn u, I’ve definitely formulated that one vaguely before
Edit: not quite sorry, it was “Governments elects you” or something lol
Another one:
- politics is interested in you 😉
Fun fact: when my father was a student in Soviet Russia (and when I studied in a Soviet school), there was an obligation to conduct “political information” briefings for fellow students. My father noticed that in the process, he started to believe the propaganda somewhat. There was no way to retell the propaganda lines without believing them a bit. This principle of brainwashing is so morbid and little known that I doubt it can be formulated in a joke. Can it?
Not to drag politics into this, how is it that right-wing folks hate everything Communist and yet they fundamentally act and try to change the world unconsciously to exactly that which they existentially/ideologically oppose? Its the most fascinating example of projection and “what’s old is new again” in the worst of ways :/
It seems that it’s due to the two-party system. When there are effectively only two parties, the opposition party needs to collect all the votes of those dissatisfied with the ruling party. Hence it develops positions contrary to the positions of the ruling party - whatever they are.
Had the ruling party decreed that all eggs be broken on the smaller end, the opposition party would take a position that all eggs be broken on the bigger end, just to win the most of disagreeing electorate. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lilliput_and_Blefuscu
And in the modern developed world, people often derive their opinions from social media - heavily influenced by Ruscist propagandists and populists. Hence the people who are dissatisfied with the current state of affairs easily pick up Ruscist or populist narratives. Especially since these narratives are simplistic and play on hate, greed or ignorance. And the only opposition party tries to win the votes of these people. In such a way, Ruscist and populist narratives make their way into opposition parties.
IMHO, in the United States, the electoral reform would allow for more parties to compete, and thus would make the political discussion more multifaceted and meaningful: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electoral_reform_in_the_United_States
