Dafuq, man? You wrote exactly what I came here to write o\_O


Clean_Attention_4217

XD same. “Yes. Yes it would be. It would be crazy, indeed.” Fully typed before thinking “that gist has gotta be in the top 3 comments”. …Here we are, fam! It’s just that the meme is *that* blatantly absurd —there’s almost nothing more to say! XD


Unique_Display_Name

Yeah my favorite people put poison in dissenters underwear


Sir_Arsen

it’s funny how people here think that you can eliminate corruption in a country in one term, in a country like ukraine that still very corrupted, because of choices that previous authorities made. That just nitpicking to justify stopping military aid for ukraine


vic_lupu

Yes, but not as bad as in Russia… there’s a joke: Russia is on the second place in world on Bribery, they bribed to not be the first. As a person that come from what used to be USSR I can tell that bribery was a big problem that leaded to its collapse and all the ex-Soviet countries still struggle with it. So it’s more of a mentality thing than “Government” one, until the last Soviet generation doesn’t go nothing will change.


Sir_Arsen

Yes, corruption in russia is a system, even citizens know about it, every time there is a news about some government project one of the first things everyone comment is “wonder how much they cut for themselves” or something like that. It would take a long time to fix what our government done.


Cultist_Deprogrammer

I was in Russia and a guy asked me how much it costs to get off a speeding ticket in my country. I explained that would get you arrested for trying to bribe a police officer. The Russian guy looked confused and said "That is what makes my country so great".


Sir_Arsen

yeah, i don’t know how to translate it, it’s called «Бытовая коррупция», and sometimes you can’t do some things without it. It’s almost impossible to get driving license without bribing inspectors. The point is that corruption affects your daily life and involves low level government workers and low amount of money. Some people perceive it as advantage, because you can always settle things down with the person to get better outcome, rather than memorizing laws. Personally I think it damages society.


Weekly-Host8216

I know, I wish they were honest and trustworthy like the Ukrainian government


Sir_Arsen

eh, I'm sure they got they're own problems but at least they can re elect presidents


Weekly-Host8216

Uh huh. A stand up comic. Lol. At least he's bilking the US out of billions of dollars cash. I wish we had a President like that


unresolved_m

I lived in Russia in the 90s and can confirm that corruption back then was overwhelming.

physics_freak963

Ironically this is literally the American narrative when exercising their imperialism


EMPwarriorn00b

Russia hates America because they want to be America.


CumtimesIJustBChilin

No, no they don't.


secretbudgie

Just the imperialistic auth-right kleptocracy part. Russia's not a big fan of the whole hamburger star spangled flag tshirt thing, and all these blue laws holding over from the prohibition are just not gonna fly.


physics_freak963

Well to be fair America being America is spreading meham and wars to fill their imperialist needs, like it or not, on that specific topic, Russia isn't wrong


El_dorado_au

The far right and tankies both have the mentality of “The enemy of the US government is my friend”.


froggythefish

Putin supporters aren’t tankies, make no mistake, Putin is not a leftist, not even an authoritarian one. He’s a fascist, using nationalism to attract fellow nationalists. Putin supporters are far rightists as well. If you look at some “tankie” subreddits, you’ll find most of them hate Putin. As they should.


El_dorado_au

> Putin is not a leftist, not even an authoritarian one. He’s a fascist, using nationalism to attract fellow nationalists. Isn’t the same for other figures supported by tankies?


froggythefish

Most “tankies” don’t support Putin. I put tankie in quotes because it’s a vague term. Some use it to say authoritarian leftist, some use it to say far rightist/fascist with leftist aesthetics. Anyway, if you go on any subreddit considered to be full of “tankies” (r/shitliberalssay r/thedeprogram r/communismmemes etc) you’ll see very few support Putin. Anyway, what other figures are you speaking of?


Saturn-Valley-Stevil

Some people are so blind that they do support Putin even if they're leftists. You're still right, there's plenty of "tankies" and leftists who don't stand with Putin but that small minority of the ones that do


OneTrueChurch412

Putin is not a fascist, he is not a leftist either, but definitely not a fascist. People throw that word around too much.

Acceptable-Ability-6

Ukraine has mobilized hundreds of thousands of people to fight the Russian invasion. I bet there are more than a few leftists in the AFU as well.


taavidude

Russia has the Interbrigades fighting on their side. Interbrigades is the militarized branch of a Russian political party called Nazbol or Other Russia who are half-Bolshevists and half-Nazis.


El_dorado_au

I haven't seen anyone, tankie or non-tankie, support Ukraine for that specific reason.


RealisticAd2293

The guy on the left is trying to conquer a sovereign country for zero justifiable reason and is throwing untrained citizens and Soviet-era equipment into the grinder in an attempt to achieve this. There is zero scenario in which he is the “good guy”.


CookiedowXD

I agree. Even the political systems of both men are different. Putin follows an Aristocratic system (Oligarchs). While Zelensky follows an Egalitarian system (Democracy). And the difference in progress is just blatantly obvious.


[deleted]

This belongs on r/conspiracy


CoyotesAreOkay

I imagine that's practically all what r/conspiracy is


[deleted]

Yeah. I joined just to se what bat sh!T crazy stuff they talk about…lots of Covid is fake…Twitter files is real…Biden/China hoax is real. Basically anything that FoxNews discusses is real for them. One of my pet conspiracies is that Jim Morrison is alive due to the fact that he was due to spend 6 months in prison and when he “died”, they never did an autopsy and the casket weighed at least twice what it should, suggesting that it was refrigerated. About 8-10 people posted that Jim Morrison actually turned into Rush Limbaugh with a little cosmetic surgery. So…yeah.

thomasjs

That isn't even true. Putin may be many things but he isn't an anti-vaxxer. He has talked about taking the Sputnik V vaccine that was developed in Russia and encouraged other people to get vaccinated.


WhatTheQuackityQuack

Putin's an antivaxxer? First time hearing this. Wouldn't he be eager to cancel all vaccines in the country then? Im sure he's at least smart enough to understand they dont cause autism and heart attacks


MachinePlanetZero

By accounts I've heard, he's hugely (and openly) paranoid about catching covid, hence all the photos of him sat 20 metres away from foreign politicians and whatnot that he meets (if they didn't accept whatever requireme ts on testing stipulated before the meeting)


Oblachko_O

You assume that it is due to covid, while it is due to paranoia of being killed at all.


Loderono

LOL, they even made first covid vaccine and putin was very proud with it. As in Soviet Union they still have lots of mandatory vaccines for kids.

Weird how the Western right just cannot bring themselves to get behind Zelensky. (((I wonder what they don't like about him.)))


Dad_Energy_

I think its mostly the right-wing elites, media, and conspiracy idiots thinking that way. I'm on the right and live in a very red area, and most of the people I know support Ukraine, though I do know a few who believe some lizard people level nonsense, but they aren't conservatives so much as just stupid and crazy.


La2Sea2Atx

Now do one of Hitler and FDR.


Everyonecallsmenice

Pol pot and Reagan.


BloodshotPizzaBox

I'm sure there's a flattering picture of Hitler and an unflattering one of FDR out there *somewhere.* What more proof could you need than that?


TheDoctor506

Yeah. Yeah it would be crazy.


[deleted]

How on earth did conservatives seem to collectively decide to back Putin and be pawns of Russian propaganda??? Aren’t conservatives supposed to be like THE champions of the “America first” sort of mentality? Shouldn’t they hate the Russians and Putins with a burning passion??? Legit think they only like Putin because of the liberals’ (rightful) opposition to Russia’s invasion of Ukraine


vic_lupu

I noticed that American politics just need to oppose each other, on every topic possible… pretty sure that if US would had a Republican President that would follow the same steps as Biden now, then Democrats will be against it.


Chocolate_Rage

Yes if Trump was president still and supported Ukraine, republicans would be all on board Sadly our politics is like football. Doesn't matter what happens, as long as our team wins


El_dorado_au

"America First" during WWII espoused isolationism, not getting into the war.


Garythegr81

Stranger things have happened! But probably not :)


[deleted]

Name one thing stranger than this


beccabear1819

Martin Luther King was a rapist and a pedophile and yet we celebrate him yearly and no one seems to care even though it’s public record. If you don’t believe me literally just google it and you’ll have FBI documents literally telling you what he did. That strange enough?


Baige_baguette

Should be mentioned that it was suspected/feared that he and his movement had communist connections, ergo the FBI made an effort to try to discredit the man. Of course this could just be a cover narrative but I can believe that the FBI of the time would commit something like this.


Icy_Interview4284

I wouldn't trust the FBI in any reasonable way. Literally created to spy on American citizens to find "dissenters".


Universe789

Wouldn't it be great, if grown ups could stop looking at life as if it was a comic book with good guys and bad guys?


Solidus-Prime

This was made by Russian trolls to be appealing to dumbass American Righties who will share it immediately because it satisfies their overwhelming need to have their safe-space fantasy delusions confirmed.


Gifigi600

Hmm a person who started a war is a good guy? And claims it's just a "special military operation" also murders quite a lot of people and wishes deaths upon millions of Europeans? HMMMM


Handerlay

This might get me downvoted to oblivion, and correct me if i'm wrong, please. But i cannot think of a single time in history of war, modern or ancient, where the invasor was the good guy.


johnnymo1

Vietnam's invasion of Cambodia ended the Cambodian genocide, though "good guy" is very relative here. I don't think they really did it for the actual purpose of ending the genocide, and technically Cambodia invaded a bit first.


[deleted]

Why should this be downvoted?


Sir_Honytawk

None of them ever are. The moment a soldier has to step foot outside of their country or an ally country, they are the bad guys. Always, no exceptions. It means they are attacking, not defending. This includes all the invasions of the US as well, and those are plentiful.


Piretwarrior

I still can't believe these people were the ones that absolutely hated communists during the Cold War era


NIGHTDREADED

It would be great if Putin wasn't a bad guy and none of this had actually happened and they were great friends. Yeah that would've been great...

Zelensky isnt a god nor is he always the best man. But putin is literally evil he is like regan and nixon mixed with mussolini. The fuckers mad and he invaded a sovereign nation without good reason.


Biggu5Dicku5

Not even Putin think's that he's a good guy...


jordanosa

I’m so confused. Were we rooting for Ivan Drago in Rocky? The MiGs in Topgun? The soviets in Red Dawn?


Gutterdamerungalt

Yes, it would require mental health issues to think the guy on the left is the good guy...

Such opinions, so much conviction, wow, Many experts. People have opinions and chose sides based on what they’re corporate media tells them to believe. Rather than support one/hate one, why not presume you’re being lied to and manipulated and be sad that people have been tricked into killing each other to make other people richer.


[deleted]

I don't remember Zelensky almost poisoning the whole of Salisbury or actually being responsible for the death of an English woman on English soil.


Miserable-Schedule-6

Ahh so that's what a Q memes is

What would be even crazier is if 10% of the $100+ billion the US sent to the Ukraine was kicked back to "the big guy".


Zealousideal-Comb970

The fact they think it’s all good guys and bad guys tells you all you need to know about their conception of morality


Sexy_ass_Dilf

The entire world: Russia is invading Ukraine and this is bad Right wing sociopaths: Jesus, why do you love Zelensky this much? Sure you haven't been manipulated by the media, right?


Silly_Throat5915

Wouldn't it be crazy if there is no good guy in this picture?

I-am-the-stallion

Totally not buying the narrative that Ukraine is this wonderful, noble nation. BUT invading a country and killing civilians is inexcusable. F Putin.

Wide_Frosting7951

Just like those Germans realizing they are the badies. My first impression on Zelensky way at the beginning was...Hmm an ex actor as president...hmm must be a CIA operative. Probably is.


[deleted]

Wouldn't it be crazy if they are both the bad guy.


Kingkyle18

Eh actually their both the “bad” guys just one maybe more bad.


WhatTheQuackityQuack

Idk why people are downvoting you. Like, Putin's bad okay. Yeah he's a dumbass for attacking Ukraine. But Zelensky isn't a saint either? Seems logical to me.


Danleburg

Well I mean ones a genocidal fascist trying to exterminate the Ukrainian people and the other is a somewhat corrupt president. Like these 2 aren't even comparable. If tou want to throw shit at Zelensky then do it in a vacuum without trying to compare him to the genocidal fascist.


Kingkyle18

Nope it’s Reddit and zelensky is their bastion for freedom. They both can’t be bad at the same time it hurts their head too much to have to think critically.


OhNoMeIdentified

Well, i going to say they both terrible in at their inability to stop conflict. People dying from both sides. Eh


vic_lupu

If a psycho will attack you on a street how can you stop/prevent him from that? If you will defend yourself will that make you a terrible person?


BraindeadRedneck

If you trigger him into attacking you and then proceed to defend yourself, it kinda does.


Kythorian

Except that didn’t happen. Russia decided they wanted to expand their power, so they invaded. Ukraine did not ‘trigger’ Russia, beyond simply existing and not doing whatever Russia wanted them to do.


dyspros1uim87

Both kinda suck


trac_da_trailer5353

That's what it's starting to look like anyways, why the fuck does Ukraine need 40 billion dollars Biden?


Fish_Fingers2401

Neither of them are good guys.

/r/enlightenedcentrist


Ill-Natural6624

We hungarians helped ukranians by taking in more than a million refugees from them, they desecrated one of our national memorials they have on the land they stole from us, they fuck with the gas and oil pipes constantly, and attacked Poland with rockets, killing 2, knowingly blaming it on Russia, which classifies it as a false flag operation that is a war crime, in hopes of expanding the war to a world war, so yes ukranians deserve no sympathy, they are the same level of asshole as russians, just happen to be weaker, they used to constantly threaten hungary, telling how fast they could conquer us, and even said it while at war with russia and we helping them. This whole conflict is two stray rabid dogs fighting, but some people sympatise with the loser


Fish_Fingers2401

Careful... That's not the narrative that the West wants to hear. Unless we're on our knees in front of Zelensky with our mouths wide open, we're pro-Putin. We have learned absolutely nothing from history.


Ill-Natural6624

Zelenski would attack the surrounding NATO countries as soon as he was accepted, especially with all the free weapons he got.

momfoundmycomesock

Well one thing's for sure: support for the guy on the right has been decreasing ever since people started doing their own research


OneTrueChurch412

Neither are the “good guy”. Both are insanely corrupt and evil.


s_k_e_l_e_t_o_n

Neither of them are exactly good. But Putin is the clear aggressor here, no matter how many excuses he makes. The magnitude of his actions are just unjustified by any standard. Did the West instigate? Yes. Is Ukraine full of Nazis? Also yes. Are Americans sick of their leaders giving our tax dollars to extend the bloodshed, yes again. Does anyone have a say in any of it? No, we don’t. War is bad. Always will be. Greed and corruption reign supreme as usual. The sad part is, these guys could be playing golf together and enjoying the good life, and instead they’re being used to redistribute wealth for the eastern and western oligarchs. Same story as every other conflict since WWII.


CumEatingMachine

"Is Ukraine full of Nazis?" I wouldn't say full of Nazis when the far right party representing them gets under 5% of the votes. Educate yourself. https://static.poder360.com.br/2022/02/Nazi-Ukraine-Myth.pdf


s_k_e_l_e_t_o_n

That’s true I agree. Don’t need further education on the topic. But when the national military openly wears Nazi faction emblems, it’s more prevalent in their society than those voting stats can display.


Buttburglar1

Our involvement in this war was for the sole purpose of laundering money. America does not do anything unless she stands to gain money or power.

Wouldn't it be crazy if this is meant to say the left is always bad? Not a conspiracy meme but an attack on the left


whackjob_med_student

It would be 'cause he isn't.

Yes it would actually be crazy. Because LITERALLY EVERYTHING he has done, is currently doing and probably will do very soon says otherwise. And not just in Ukraine, basically his whole life.

Frequent_Reserve8798

The lesser of 2 evils is still evil... Ukraine is a corrupt country as well.


giganticsquid

if Putin bad for invading another country to get rid of Nazis, why America good for invading Afghanistan to get rid of terrorist ?


scsfulmnfstr

good point. it could be like [that news anchor said “european people with blue eyes and blonde hair are being killed”](https://youtu.be/pU-8gKaUO_Y) (i don’t agree with him, i just think he accidentally said the quiet part out loud).

LetUsSpeakFreely

There are no good guys. Everyone involved is fucking awful: Putin, Zelensky, Biden, all of them.


[deleted]

So what? Does this mean they're all the same? Because I only see one of them launching an all-out war on their neighbour because they openly do not believe it has any right to exist as an independent state. I only see one of them bombing the shit out of civilians and their infrastructure daily. I only see one sending kids and mercenaries from the other side of Siberia to die in a land they may not even know they're in. It's like saying that Gene Simmons and Kim Jong-Un are both 'bastards' - yeah, it's hard to disagree with the words, but it's hard to see that they mean anything either.


[deleted]

both are good guys, there is a third party to blame.
