      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

        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.

          You might want to enlighten yourself by talking to some Ukrainians and Russians though.

          They almost invariably see themselves as the same (ethnic) people
