In response, posters here, who favored Ukraine and/or were against Putin, began to refer to Russia and Russians as “Ruzzia” and “Ruzzzians”.
In response, posters here, who for whatever their reasons are strongly against Ukraine and/or support Putin and/or are more isolationist, were annoyed by this and began calling those posters “Zeepers”.
The term is NOT meant to be a compliment. Kinda like the “N-word”, but in a kinder, gentler format here, along with memes and gifs and other forms of ridicule and deflection.
Such is the nature of things in war when we use naming and shaming tactics to silence debate and opinions we don’t like spoken in our presence.
If you’re Christian, while pondering world events, these posters, their opinions and tactics, consider Proverbs 6:16-19 and how Satan uses us and our emotions in public forums to trip us up and make us and others fall his way.
Jesus called the crowd to Him and said, “Listen and understand. A man is not defiled by what enters his mouth, but by what comes out of it.”
Matthew 5:10-11
Oops … Matthew 15:10-11, not Matthew 5 … sorry about that …
Ya mean NORMAL?
