Ask me about “Putinista” and I’ll say pretty much the same thing.
L
There you go!
It's a term of endearment for someone who wholeheartedly supports billions of unaccounted-for taxpayer dollars being sent to Ukraine to fight yet another endless proxy war with Russia. It's similar to the term of endearment "Ruzzia," that Zeepers use when referring to "Russia."
Fanatics who maintain a ratio of
99% anti-Ukraine
0.5% feigned dislike of Putin
and thus, are neither fair nor balanced in their war of words,
while apologizing for Russian Annex-ploitation whereby Moscow (the Kremlin) moves to capture former USSR states that voted for independence from Russian dictators,
are apt to name-calling and bashing fellow FReepers, by referring to the members who support Ukraine, as “Zeepers”.
The “Z” representing Zelensky.
This is not going to end well for us. Ever wonder why we aren’t mentioned in the Bible?
There once was a FReeper called “Zeeper”
Who really thought he was a Keeper
He knew more than others
Ukrainians were his brothers
While Zelensky was the Grim Reaper
So that's why it was the Ruxxians who painted a big Z on their tanks? Who knew?
I was pretty sure that I'm possible.
(I think...)
ALL soon will.
Gladly. Nor L. Graham. There you go.
Yep.
Gëss that makes us PuZeBiUNs
I thought Moscow was about to fall. Was I misled?
Ukraine threads are garbage. Avoid them if you can. Although I hypocritically dip a toe into the slime myself now and then but you’ll just feel dirty afterwards.
Frequently, insults are used by people who know they're wrong to cover up the fact that they're wrong. Even more frequently, insults are used by enemies of free and intelligent discussion to suppress free and intelligent discussion.
(This isn’t meant as a joke, btw.)
What is the main difference between Putin and Zelenskyy?
Putin doesn’t try to hide the fact that he’s a brutal, ego-maniacal, totalitarian thug.
Oh no, if you don’t properly worship Putin, then obviously you think Ukraine and Zelensky are the most important thing in the world.
I’ve wondered about that myself. You can bet it’s here to stay and it will become part of the lexicon without anyone giving it a thought..the same as so many others - EX: meh!!! What the devil is that supposed to mean/signify?
It won’t be long before the youngsters will wonder out loud whatever affected the older generation in this country inventing their own vocabulary..but then quickly will be replaced by their own.
Me too.
I don’t really like any of them but hate Joe Sh@tbag Biden more than the others combined.
There is not one issue where Putin, or Xi is not more right than Biden. Not one.
That said, I don’t call other posters name either.
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
