How, as a Russian, do you watch the blowing up of a fictional children’s joy bringer as a good thing?
Not trying to justify this but neither the article or anyone here is picking up on the detail that Russians have their “own” Santa, that’s the guy dressed in blue.
So they are shooting down the western Santa and their kids still get their presents from their own Santa.
Idiotic video still but it is not like they kill Christmas worldwide. Just for everyone else, as in typical fashion.
“Father frost” is actually the “santa” version of many post-soviet countries, including Ukraine.
Yes, you are actually right about that and I missed that detail.
Ah, so that’s how they shot that Azerbaijani passenger plane. They should put the Krokodil down.
Is Russia trying to be the bad guy? I’ve been told that everyone’s the hero of Their Own story, but this is making me seriously doubt that. These stupid fucks equate NATO with Santa and then depicted themselves killing him. This is literally the most bad guy coded thing I’ve ever heard of my entire life. This is like the most blatantly evil children’s cartoon villain thing they could have possibly done.
The quiet part out loud is russia is an ideological extremist warmonger who considers itself to be in a life or death struggle with an amorphous idea of “the west”. And doesn’t give a fuck about what anyone says or thinks about them.
Which is exactly why the west should treat them how they want to be treated. A wartime enemy.
inb4 they electrocute the Easter bunny, gangrape the Tooth Fairy, commit a genocide against elves and dwarves and firebomb Shrek’s swamp.
Edit: I will be eating my hamster any day now and same with using a horse to get to work.
They did a cartoon because they cant shoot down a real NATO plane. They cant even buy one and shoot that one down. Best they can do is an Azerbaijani airliner. Wow.
“Santa represents peace, and brings happiness to children. We could not tolerate that”
Why do they need DRM for a fucking news article
Fuck DRM, fuck Widevine, I just compile my browser without them
It’s not compiled into Firefox ever. A binary blob is downloaded after the first time you activate DRM. So just don’t activate it and it’ll never be present on your machine.
That’s good to know
I just disable it on my browsers, am too lazy to compile :3c
Huh, never noticed that before. I guess they have embedded videos?
Embedded videos don’t need DRM
They do if they’re DRM’ed!
Well yes, but they shouldn’t be and they really don’t need to
Absolutely correct.
This one became real dark when the Russians shot the Azerbaijani flight. This video was released days before that tragedy, no?
The other “Santa” in the video is “Father Frost” smh my head
Grandfather frost if be more specific
why does santa rus need someone else to take out santato? was santato violating ITAR?
Santatos… Boil em, mash em, stick em in a stew
This is so completely idiotic that I don’t even understand the point of going through all the effort of making it.
Who’s going to cheer to it? Or is it just so that we can share it and find it stupid ?
This is not the Russian government being paranoid of NATO, this is the Russian government trying to remind us population that the decadent west, where people have fun, is evil and they shouldn’t want to be like the west. Don’t enjoy life, be a good little slave for Putin.
It’s all smoke and mirrors just to add another seed of “hate the west” so that Putin and his oligarch friends can stay in power. Wouldn’t want people to get wrong ideas like actual democracy where people could make decisions that are good for them, now would we.
This is the end result of a fascist and imperialist regime and it’s brain rot propaganda mobilizing it’s population for ideological war.
