Russia to Instill Youth With Patriotism Through Video Games
- Thread starter Tannhauser
- Start date
Brilliance, is all I can say. If violent games make people more violent, then violent patriotic games will make them VIOLENT PATRIOTS. Its a fool proof plan. Although I have to say I'm disappointed its even necessary. I barely had access to State run media growing up and I still turned into a dedicated ultra nationalist killing machine. Kids sure are lazy now a days.
Also "Russian schoolgirls in WWII military uniforms" If thats not a Fetish yet, it will be soon. The one on the far right is political officer material for sure. The rest strike me as easily winning the Order of the Red Banner. Posthumously.
On a more serious note, am I the only one he sees the vast and terrifying implications of this?

Here is a picture taken of me back in 1917 when I found out that I had just missed the storming of the Winter Palace because I was busy rescuing small Bolshevik children from a burning factory.

All they have to do is rip-off the Russian missions in Call of Duty and BAM! patriotism. God knows I shed a tear when I saw my comrades raise the flag over the Reichstag. ;_;
More war! More violence! Just what the world needs right now!
Be a cannon fodder under the great glory of a worthless colour rag! Die for your scrap of land! Kill people you don't even know!
Damn. Then you people wonder why our flag is black.

I thought Poland's flag was red and white?

Lamest joke EVER, lama.
Am I pretending to speak for all the fucktards that live in the same scrap of land that I do?
The imbecile population here still identifies itself with the red and white flag.
Tsk.

With the comic geniuses that NMA has to offer, I'd beg to differ. Also, who's joking? I'm legitimately confused.

It is whether that a man gives in or maintains his composure in the face of such temptation that he can rise above such savage tendencies...not to contradict you Kotario. Just making discussion.

Yesterday my cousin was shot to death on her way to work by Muslim Militants wanting to make some kind of point. The deaths of children and innocents on both sides will continue to spur emnity and retaliation.
The reality of war and death in Southern Russia is first hand and a daily part of the struggle of living. It is difficult indeed for anyone to forget who they are, where they come from or why they are being targeted. When you are attacked simply for being Russian (Or Ossetian, or Chechen), you tend to take pride in your national identity and it strengthens your resolve to maintain that identity.
Meanwhile, the further north you go, the more distant that reality becomes. In the small space that my world was, I never thought anyone really could feel different from me. I was angry and scared, often times full of hate but it seemed totally justifiable. This "Patriotism" that they are now trying to breed is entirely separate from the nature of Nationalism in the south. There, just surviving is enough cause to generate all the nationalism one could want.
I guess elsewhere, where the reality of that struggle is only conceptual in nature, it is easy to lose that "edge" that Putin wants to keep Russia on. What he's doing now is no different from the Young Pioneers or Hitler Youth of old. Trying to awaken the younger generations to the reality of the national cause, rather then keeping it just conceptual where it is easy to take apart or ignore.
I'm not saying blood shed for narrow minded nationalism is good, but I'm saying the reality of National struggle on a personal level is hard to ignore. Make the cause personal, make it about survival, make the horror and sacrifice necessary for the greater good, play off the fears and hopes of the general population, and they'll have all the support they want.
