Oh please... We stopped researching that technology in the 40s. We never perfected it enough to make super soldiers.

Putin thinks about gays more than Gay people do. 🤔

[-] AlwaysNowNeverNotMe@kbin.social 36 points 2 years ago

Putin is big gay for his violinist.

[-] Viking_Hippie@lemmy.world 15 points 2 years ago

Sounds like an exceedingly veiled masturbation reference tbh 😂

Translation into "plainspeak", filtering out all the deflection and projection:

We have an incompetent alcoholic military, with a toxic environment of forceful sodomy among our own troops abusing each other as well as others.

Yep... that pretty much covers it completely.

Jokes on them, that is fuckin

FABULOUS

[-] rigatti@lemmy.world 64 points 2 years ago

How can I get some of that brainwashing for myself? That sounds awesome.

[-] Kbin_space_program@kbin.social 25 points 2 years ago

Except it was the Athenians who were misogynistically homosexual, and apparently also ageist as well.

As far as I understand it, we guess at this because the Spartans didn't write much but the Athenians wrote a lot, including making fun of them for things like: not being Saudi Arabia/Iran towards women and such other outrageous concepts like respecting your elders.

Also Thebes had a lot of reason to hate Sparta. Among them was that those 300 famous Spartans were accompanied by several thousands of Thebians who were put in largely sacrificial positions to better save Spartan lives.

[-] FuglyDuck@lemmy.world 22 points 2 years ago

To be fair, Sparta’s “reputation” came mostly from having a remarkable propaganda machine. They were a bunch of paper tigers.

I wouldn’t really take anything they put out about their rival as more than that.

I have to know, what inspired this presumably premade art? Is this normally a problem Bi Goth Girls have? I believe this has great meme potential.

But the US thinks gays are too precious to risk in combat!

Gay Ukrainian Super Soldiers

Why the fuck are people against the "woke" military if we can make gay super soldiers??

[-] cxx@lemmy.world 18 points 2 years ago

Probably afraid those super soldiers will also be super attractive and make them have impure thoughts.

[-] LaunchesKayaks@lemmy.world 49 points 2 years ago

I don't see an issue with gay super soldiers.

[-] FaeDrifter@midwest.social 29 points 2 years ago

The real question is has Putin given up on trying to call them Nazis, or are we supposed to believe Ukrainians are super gay Nazi soldiers now.

[-] Theharpyeagle@lemmy.world 23 points 2 years ago

And Jewish, of course. They've got all the best space lasers, totally unfair.

Wtf am i reading. Making them gay isnt even a stab at anyone, its just a weird thing to add.

[-] Sterile_Technique@lemmy.world 58 points 2 years ago

You're not the target audience. They're trying to stir up the homophobes, for whom "gay" is very much a stab.

[-] lemmylommy@lemmy.world 30 points 2 years ago

Exactly. For them „gay“ is short for „evil, satanic pedophile“.

[-] Tolookah@discuss.tchncs.de 19 points 2 years ago

That's a really shitty acronym on their part.

Took a lesson from Sparta, make all your soldiers gay lovers and they will fight like hell.

[-] Jackolantern@lemmy.world 34 points 2 years ago

I think it’s called Sacred Band of Thebes, where they specifically get male lovers as soldiers since they will fight for each other more fiercely.

A nice name for an acoustic band also.

Where can I get one of the gay Ukrainian soldiers?
Ukrainian men are HOT!!!

[-] Grant_M@lemmy.ca 27 points 2 years ago

Gay Ukrainian super-soldiers FTW!

[-] PrincessLeiasCat@sh.itjust.works 27 points 2 years ago

Which one of you told?

[-] Neato@kbin.social 25 points 2 years ago

OK so if the US has the ability to make Super Soldiers, and the "effect" is turning people gay, then the logical conclusion would be half of the US military would be gay by now.

[-] quortez@kbin.social 19 points 2 years ago

Welllllllllllllllllllll there is a stereotype with the armed forces 👨‍❤️‍💋‍👨

[-] Neato@kbin.social 18 points 2 years ago

I didn't want to call out a very specific and very wet branch of service. :p

But I did just remember the Village People have that song so I guess I'm a few decades late.

[-] electrogamerman@lemmy.world 14 points 2 years ago

Isnt the same about jails?

Love how men are so macho straight men, until they are put together in groups without women, then they start curving 💅

[-] Syrc@lemmy.world 19 points 2 years ago

Video for others like me who could NOT believe someone seriously said that.

Gay part begins at 3:17 but the part before is pretty “””interesting””” as well.

A. BAHAHAHHAA B. Pay close attention how the hateful people in this world act, speak, and think. They’re how hitler came to power. Know thy enemy better than you know yourself.

[-] getynge@lemmy.world 15 points 2 years ago

Brainwashing people to stay in the military through gay influence(?) is an interesting tactic as opposed to just making people obedient in general, maybe being gay is part of the secret to superpowers idk.

[-] PunnyName@lemmy.world 18 points 2 years ago

Gotta make "being gay" an enemy. Other a person, dehumanise them, easier to kill.
