I feel like the dehumanising term for the enemy that the ukrainians use is more like the nationalistic dehumanising terms that were used in the old days
Yeah wow you got me there, that's not at all you making my point for me. The way we dehumanise russians today has historic traces, which mean it's totally good.
As we all know the nationalism of the european empires was totally non racist.
Russians adversaries getting named Ivan (by US) or Russki (by Germans) could be a bit derogatory but would you really consider yourself racist for it? It's more like Shelbyville thing
There's "those darn Russkies" and then there's "those filthy fucking orcs", and when the latter is being said by a guy with a sonnenrad tattooed around each nipple I'm not inclined to give it the benefit of the doubt.
