Just that. Someone uploaded this photo of Zelensky allegedly taking a selfie in Kupiansk, which is supposed to be a city already taken by Russian forces. I am not really informed of the situation in Kupiansk, but this is not the issue for me.
In the Politics subreddit, where this was published, the comments are overwhelmingly pro Ukraine, which, well, checks out. But what I find kind of trollish, are the comments surrounding Zelenksy. It's like reading the five-star comments of the Google Play Services app in the Play Store, or something. They repeatedly talk about how big and glorious are Zelensky's balls? Praising his balls, even though, he is a smaller guy? They praise the bold actions of Zelensky calling him a European hero, imagining his heroic dialogues as in some cheap hollywood movie, etc. To me, it just feels utterly fake? I mean, AI fake.
What do you make of this, guys? Please, remember, it's not about the conflict itself.
ukraine like it or not is the underdog but with some big indirect backing that has been very tepid in committing. The fact the war is still going with little real progess by the invader in this situation is amazing. Praising balls in this type of situation is common. Balls are even used with females with big and brass being the most common adjectives.
I know where it comes from, but personally, I'd be more enthusiastic of praising his brains if I was in a similar situation.
You don’t end up within 500 m of the grey zone using brains, that would be balls…
In fact, even given the propaganda value of this stunt, it seems stupid and reckless.
When it comes to armed conflict your going to have to go to things like pbs or bbc to get that kind of perspective. Social media is going to be a bit more crass.
A bit, sure, but this is ridiculous to me. Anyway, we'll soon know how important are balls to lead armed conflicts.
