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. 🤔

[–] [email protected] 36 points 11 months ago (1 children)

Putin is big gay for his violinist.

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.

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

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.

[–] [email protected] 23 points 11 months 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!

"How many soldiers' lives are worth the life of one homosexual?"

"Seven."

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

[–] [email protected] 28 points 11 months ago (2 children)

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.

[–] [email protected] 23 points 11 months ago

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

Gay Ukrainian Super Soldiers

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

[–] [email protected] 18 points 11 months ago

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

[–] Mandy 48 points 11 months ago (1 children)

does this include woman? id like a super soldier lesbian gf

Is this propaganda or a comedy routine gone awry?

Aha! The standard strategy of making the opponent both very strong, to explain why they are winning and need being fought as being the weaker one at the same time because the gays are obviously inferior.

Same rethoric the nazis used against the Jews. Strong enough to own all capital and influence the entire world behind the scenes ánd obviously an inferior type of people without spine.

[–] [email protected] 44 points 11 months ago (4 children)

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

[–] [email protected] 58 points 11 months ago (1 children)

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

[–] [email protected] 30 points 11 months ago (2 children)

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

[–] [email protected] 19 points 11 months ago (1 children)

That's a really shitty acronym on their part.

The Greeks figured this a couple thousand years ago and we're just now catching up. SMH!

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

[–] [email protected] 35 points 11 months ago (3 children)

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.

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.

[–] [email protected] 19 points 11 months ago (2 children)

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

[–] [email protected] 18 points 11 months 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.

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.
