I sometimes listen to Russian radio and run it through Google translate. It’s endless pseudo-philosophy that just goes on for hours and hours. Feels like it’s a trope in the Russian world.
Can you share your process for doing that? I’ve been trying to figure out how to live (or close to live) translate TV and radio, but a lot of the tools I’ve come across seem to be geared towards cross-language conversations.
Was it actually that crazy? My fragile mind can’t handle direct exposure right now, but if you’ve seen it I’m eager to hear about it
Yes. Putin is famous for dodging questions by rambling about random shit, but this time he really outdid himself by starting rambling not even a minute into the “interview” and going on for 2 hours straight.
So basically it was an evil version of Harmontown
So, harmontown
I saw a clip and it just looks and feels like Russian propaganda
As long as you get that feeling, then no need to evaluate the content of things. We have teams of people to do that. Then they tell you what context cues to look for instead of evaluating it yourself.
What else would it be? Why the fuck would Putin sit down with anyone in an interview if not to propagandise?
To feel like an important political figure?
This whole set up looked like a vanity show, tbh
Don’t listen to them. First thing putin asked was “do you want a talk show or a serious conversation?” You don’t need to agree with him but the whole interview was a reasonable and civilized attempt to show the russian perspective to western audiences.
Except for the fact that he’s making a lot of shit up, I’m from eastern europe and none of his stories about Poland, Lithuania and Kievan Rus were accurate at all.
Even if they were true, his point is that “we used to own Ukraine so we’re going to kill people until we do again”
You know, like fascists do.
And you’re just going to believe Putin at face value?
I’m gonna listen to what he has to say and make up my mind.
What he has to say is that Ukraine should be destroyed and ethnically cleansed. Why on earth would you want to hear more of what he has to say?
Nah.
You don’t need to do that with someone like Putin. You’re basically saying you’re cool just listening to this generations Hitler and taking him at face value.
That makes you an idiot, a piece of shit, a Russian sympathizer/asset, or likely, all three. But you’re definitely not a person who should be listened to or followed in any way. The entire point of your posting that is to try and create the illusion that Russia isn’t the bad guy here.
So, and I mean this sincerely, go fuck yourself.
You accuse someone of all sorts of things, and never give them a fair chance to defend themselves through dialog. Tell me again how this is a fair aproach. Sounds like you just want to shut down someone for fear of them being right and you wrong.
Putin is the invader if he leaves the war ends. What more do you need to hear from the guy
russian perspectiveWarmonger’s perspective. Ftfy
But did they ask him how to patch KDE2 under FreeBSD? https://knowyourmeme.com/memes/how-does-one-patch-kde2-under-freebsd
Love how the Russian is white and blonde while the American looks like orange man with Hispanic hair 😂
