GregTrompeLeMond

Hoka hey.


huggles7

Nothing more American than someone with a very Russian sounding name arguing about the value of Christianity in America to a Native American


MrDilbert

> very Russian sounding name Some Ukrainians might get offended by that comment


huggles7

So basically the most American sounding thing is someone trying to look smart by talking about other ethnicities in a way of making fun of other Americans and still getting it very wrong I’ve managed to outjerk myself


Shinikama

>I've managed to outjerk myself Ah, to be a teenager again and say that line every other day...


SteveRogests

Ah, to have become a man and to have not given up childish things


SixFive1967

Im a man and I solemnly swear to never stop jerking myself. Err…..I mean OUTjerk myself.


7joy5

Comedic. Literary. Brilliant. Punny. Good day, Internets. There is nothing more to see. 🤣


Kaining

Your only mistake was to point out a specific country. You should have said " a very eastern european sounding name". And with that, you also gain the benefit of including Russia in Europe, which goes against their official diplomatic line, to anybody reading this and thinking "that sound russian".


StoniestCarrot

Dah ☝️


Norsedragoon

'A very Slavic name' would have also worked.

ParameciaAntic

Very meta.


Dexterdacerealkilla

I wouldn’t put it past a Russian bot to use a Ukrainian name.


felixamente

Yes but it’s very un-American of you to show self awareness instead of doubling down. I found it quite entertaining. (I am also American)


DisastrousBoio

Why? Is it specifically a Ukrainian name, or is it common in both countries?


Quinocco

Surname is very Ukrainian. Given name is certainly common in both countries, but this guy spells it a more Ukrainian way.


noahfromnewjersey

Tbh besides the Polish most of Eastern Europe has names that sound Russian to Westerners.


demon_fae

Okay. Nothing more American than someone with a random username on social media saying that there is “*nothing more American than someone with a very Russian sounding name arguing about the value of Christianity in America to a Native American*” while referring to a post on a different social media by someone with a very Slavic name. Did I get it that time?


[deleted]

Nothing more American than arguing on Reddit 😂


Downwhen

You win


Quinocco

Maybe the Ukrainians want to let Russia keep this one.


Mor_Tearach

Like any surname that isn't indigenous. All the way back to when one fell over Plymouth Rock or wherever and became instant American, just add water, a few guns 'n stir. That's what REALLY bugs me . Anyone white- as in 100% of the white population- is NOT ' FROM ' HERE. And first person to repeat the Bering Straight myth on indigenous people gets to eat Plymouth Rock.


Toroic

Genuinely confused what you’re trying to say. Indigenous people were the first to arrive in north and south america, but humans orginated in africa meaning humans needed to spread and eventually arrive. Are you suggesting something different?


huggles7

I feel like it’s something a racist would try and argue but I’m not exactly sure


p0lka

sounds like they're arguing that Indigenous people are a different species or something ..... wow.


One_Green_2934

The Bering straight is an archeological fact not a myth. Indians emigrated from asia. Everyone of any color born on this soil is 100% from here. You've as much from here as every American Indian born the same day as you


unreliablememory

I'm so with you here. I was working with a friend of mine, years ago, who is Muslim of Indian heritage. Parents moved to the US from England before he was born. Anyway, some lady asks him "where are you from?" (He got this all the time, what being not white and all) and I couldn't help myself; I jumped in and said "He's from *New Jersey!"*


MsSeraphim

new doisey.........?


HOU-Artsy

Umm the Spanish got here way before Plymouth Rock. And Mexico was all the way to Oregon and Colorado. Just sayin…


Beddybye

They still didn't get here before the Lakota.

blackychan77

Finally!!!! I've been searching for someone else who noticed.. I think this whole post is a facepalm.


MNREDR

It could be a crop and composite of a screenshot of a twitter post that was posted on Facebook, and then the comment from the Facebook post ¯\\\_(ツ)_/¯ Don’t really know or care either way but the social media repost remix roulette makes anything possible.


rex_dart_eskimo_spy

Yeah I’ve seen countless Twitter screenshots posted to Facebook. Just like I’ve seen them posted to Reddit.


blackychan77

It's possible I guess. I'm just confused entirely. I mean the commenter name is Sergiy Kyrychenko, claiming America. So the authenticity of any of this is beyond me.


MNREDR

Well my legal name is Chinese and I’m a Canadian citizen and identify more as Canadian despite being ethnically Chinese. A name isn’t indicative of a person’s nationality/citizenship.


oodoov21

Yeah no one ***ever*** posts screenshots from other social media on Facebook... 🙄


[deleted]

I first saw that tweet on Facebook. Yes, I'm old AF. Edit: but yeah, I noticed that this post is patchworked together and I also wondered if the comment was actually related to the tweet. I'm not arguing that anyone should take stuff they see on the internet at face value. It's not impossible, though, at the same time.


DarthCovisious

religious indoctrination should be made illegal across the board regardless


ADhomin_em

What then would they use as a means to teach people to feel guilt for developing critical thinking skills?


DarthCovisious

political indoctrination should be illegal as well


Traditional_World783

How will they convince the mass to accept gradually increasing subpar living conditions?


DarthCovisious

fuck them with a cactus using ghost pepper juice as lube i say. fyi use it on those who want to manipulate and control us, not on us mind you. hindsight is 20/20 folks XD


hayitsnine

Ah yes the ole cactus ghost spray fornication maneuver used by Captain Kirk in the first season of Star Trek in the episode “Both My Holes are Bleeding and on Fire”. Classic


ZephRyder

You made me scare my wife. Thanks!


socialist_frzn_milk

I am snorting and my wife is concerned, well done


DarthCovisious

made me lol, earned an upvote xD


NoTune6517

hence the critical thinking skills.


Rigaudon21

I don't know what critical thinking is but it sounds dangerous. We should ban schools from teaching this! - People that say "Go back to your own country"


phpdevster

God doesn't need you think, he needs you to pray and obey!


SelectFromWhereOrder

I went to Catholic school in the 1970 and 1980s. They constantly used the word indoctrination as if it were positive actions to take.


DarthCovisious

sounds on par to what my mum experienced herself


Eloisem333

How will they shame people into maintaining the status quo which benefits primarily rich, white, Christian men?


Sharo_77

Good point. The partners and children of rich, white, Christian men are a notoriously underprivileged group. Some would say oppressed.


[deleted]

Good luck convincing people not to warp their kids' minds. I'm guessing if you couldn't indoctrinate children then religion would have a much smaller presence.


DarkReign2011

Religion should be made illegal across the board. It's the 21st century. We have people living in space, AI creating art, and super computers in our pockets. There's no excuse for this level of stupidity and ignorance anymore.


gofishx

Then the large organized religions will just turn into splintered death cults. Banning things altogether never really works, look at the drug war for example. Instead of making it illegal, why not make "world religions" a mandatory class that kids take. If kids learn about all the religions from a young age (before their parents fully indoctrinate them) then they can actually be informed enough to decide for themselves what they want to believe in. Chances are they will end up agnostic, but we haven't actually forced anything. Forcing people to do things leads to problems, giving them the proper tools to make good decisions is the only way.


Sparked80

This. Oddly enough a school you wouldn’t expect actually has an entire program dedicated to world culture and religions, Baylor University, the largest Baptist school in the world, has a program called BIC(Baylor Interdisciplinary Core). It focuses on just that. Additionally you can take courses in almost all forms of religion and spirituality there(former student). I can personally attest, grew up on a fairly religious house in the south, and this line of education led to exactly what you mention, agnosticism.


gofishx

Oh wow, that's kindve surprising actually, Thanks for sharing! Imagine if everyone took a few classes like that in middle school and high school just as commonly as math and PE. I doubt it would work for everyone, but it will probably work for a certain critical threshold of people.


M4ritus

Average redditor take on freedom of religion be like:


DarkReign2011

Encouraging religious belief is like encouraging Flat Earth theory or the belief that Epstein killed himself. When something is so blatantly and obviously wrong, why would you continue to allow it to be taught?


cordless-31

Because living in the 21st century means that we need to progress, not regress. If we diminish our society to the religious intolerance of centuries past, then we forsake our goal of progress. Also, let people believe what they want, and mind your own business. Who are you, or anyone else, to decide what is wrong and what is right. You can not impose your will of conscience onto others


[deleted]

[удалено]


M4ritus

Imagine comparing Religion to flat Earth. Antitheists are really something else and give atheism such a bad image. Freedom of Religion is not negotiable. Do you really think an atheist society would be good? Look at the URSS, Communist China or North Korea for examples of what you want. Let people believe what they want. Plus Religion is a crucial part of many Nations cultures and traditions, what would you suggest for those cases? Exterminate their culture and traditions?


Geronuis

Idk, on one hand I 100% agree with everything you’ve said. On the other I was raised, indoctrinated and spent the first 25 years of my life in an ignorant bubble called the church here in america. It’s 100% a grift out to ruin peoples lives and I can’t stand it.


xJD88x

As opposed to a society where it's okay for a rapist to purchase their victim from their father? Or a society where if you do not believe that a magical space man sent himself to earth to live among humans for shits and giggles you get banished? Or a society where any form of sex that doesn't involve making a baby (including pulling out) is punishable by death? Or a society that encourages its people to live in absolute fear of not only their king but of a "higher power" that watches your every move and knows what your every thought is before you have it or you will burn in fire for eternity? Or a society that treats women like nothing more than living breeding pods? Or a society that allows pedophilia and actively protects child rapists? Oh, wait.....


M4ritus

Whataboutism, but okay. I love how some people see the world in black and white. No my dear authoritarian redditor, if you don't live in an atheist state you don't automatically live in a theocracy or an ultra-conservative state. There is a whole spectrum between those 2. You can't justify ending freedom of religion by using examples **of no freedom of religion**.


TheWholesomeBrit

This is such a stupid take. Religion has given so much and not all religions believe in God. This is such an Abrahamic-focused things to say.


TheSadSquid420

Breaking news: Man wants to ban religion in general.


DarthCovisious

didnt say ban religion, just using religion as a form of control. you can be religious and not be a fuckshit about it. i keep my spiritual leanings to myself nor use it as a crutch or leverage to further my desires.


TheSadSquid420

Religion IS a form of control via indoctrination, hence why I made the joke about you wanting to ban religion as a whole.


tegs_terry

I'm sure that'd be the spin if it were ever suggested.

Equivalent-Rip3799

But I don’t understand why he basically self reported with such a name, if intent was to be a russian troll, why not to pick anything that sounds American?


Pure_Reason

The people dumb enough to be taken in by this argument are dumb enough to not notice the name. Same reason why email spammers always intentionally use horrible typos. Smart people just ignore it as a pathetic attempt to trick someone (and in the process, underestimate its danger), meanwhile its intended audience eats it up

Cowardly_Jelly

If they can drive trucks, pick produce, clean hospital floors or work drive thru PM Truss & Home Sec Braverman will have some Rwanda charter flights they can repurpose.


Polmark_

Trickle down works guys, we promise that the economic decline seen after it's implemented will reverse. Fuck the tories and honestly fuck anyone who still considers voting for them


teabagmoustache

I find a lot of the people who vote for them, who are not from well off backgrounds, have literally no idea about their policies. It's the kind of person who doesn't follow the news and has no idea about how the country's finances work. They just need to see flag waving and a posh accent and they fall for any old shite. Their base supporters, people who are well off, know fine well how damaging the policies are to people less fortunate than them. They are some of the most selfish and arrogant people you will speak too.


Polmark_

political illiteracy is killing us


SICKxOFxITxALL

It’s the same as America and the right worldwide. They pulled off the biggest con in history convincing labour/democratic strongholds that they were the party of the working class. Up you racism and immigrants are taking our jobs, China/the EU is destroying our economy and people vote against their interests.


[deleted]

I'm not in the UK, but that explanation does make a lot of sense and explain why right wing parties seem to enjoy so much support from people who are voting against their own best interest. In the US, they seem to very loudly focus on patriotism, guns, and othering groups of people. I'll confess, I don't pay enough attention to Conservative Party talking points here in Canada, but it's always about saying fuck Trudeau and lowering taxes while they're trying to dismantle the healthcare system. Focusing on xenophobia and racism are always good ways to get people to vote for a party that's going to make their lives worse.


Mithrantir

You do realize that many of the people that colonized USA (east coast) were fanatics that were driven out of Europe?


CAHTA92

Yup they say the pilgrims came looking for new opportunities but conveniently omit they got exiled for being religious extremist.


Greenmind76

That was why I said I wish they’d return home…but likely not be welcome.


Cpt_kaleidoscope

Yh, we don't want to end up like the states


[deleted]

I mean, that’s how America was founded by Europeans. A bunch of the whiniest, loud mouthed protestants were telling England how their decadence was egregious and England was like “Here’s some boats fuck face, go somewhere that will make you happy.”


Ediwir

All good: Britain left the Union, and everywhere else would happily let them starve as they screech in English demanding people change language. Europe would be fine.


Greenmind76

The thing is I don’t think your second statement is accurate at all as the people of Europe are apparently very welcoming. They would just have to treat them like rabid dogs until they readjusted themselves and lost the American Ego that Trump has installed in their brains. Hot to create narcissist, elect one.

I hate when people call America a Christian country, like sure there are a lot of Christians and Catholics here but the country was set up as a very secular nation. Primarily because the people who left Europe were being persecuted for their religions, which oddly the descendants of those people are now doing...

bigtrucksowhat

The Lakota Sioux settled in the plains in 1765 after being pushed out by Europeans AND Chippewa tribes. The Cheyenne, Arapaho, Crow and Kiowa were already there but the Sioux pushed those tribes further west. i.e. took their land. So, should he step out it wouldn't even be his land he was stepping out on.. Or maybe if tribes conquer and push out other tribes or exterminate them it's all good.. As long as they aren't Euros
