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. As we all know the nationalism of the european empires was totally non racist.
“They’re from Russia so they’re bad and now we can easily kill them.” That’s the whole gist. Same playbook with Africans, Arabs, Latin Americans, etc etc.
Yeah you know about these Russians, right??
With their…
Blonde hairs and their… wide stance
?
Anybody?
Orcs.
I feel the ‘orcs’ that Ukrainians use is more like the nationalistic '‘kraut’ or ‘boche’ from WW1&2
You’d have to bend yourself into a singularity if you want to equate that to racism

Their vile racism, our playful bywords
You might want to enlighten yourself by talking to some Ukrainians and Russians though.
They almost invariably see themselves as the same (ethnic) people
Yeah it’s even more ridiculous to be racist towards only one of them.
