    I see that projection is really the prime usian national pasttime.

    To the Chud audience the Russia/Ukraine conflict is framed as tradition vs modern decadence and perversion.

    This is particularly funny since even if we tried to look at it like that, then it’s Ukraine that is much closer to the chud values.

      Yeah. I think it’s a mistake to read too much into it looking for underlying coherency or consistency. I think Ur-Fascism and other classic observations on these sorts of social movements identify this disregard for logical consistency or sincere ideology.

      Annoyingly, it’s not even a tactical feature of the ideology as far as I can tell, the brainrot itself seems to be an important fundamental piece of the material conditions that fascism repeatedly emerges from. (tho it is tactically useful as fuck for them.)
