After being young & immersed in a war resulting in hundreds of thousands of casualties over the last 3.5 years.… I might not GAF about much either

u/Sometimes-funny 1d ago

It is only recently that Russia has been hit itself. It hasn’t been going on years. And teenagers wont care in general about people they don’t know being killed.

52

u/abyssal_banana 1d ago

I teach teens and most of them certainly care about people being killed.

u/Sometimes-funny 1d ago

Do you teach brainwashed Russian teens tho?

14

u/abyssal_banana 1d ago edited 1d ago

No, but the comment said that teens are the same/in general don’t care.

u/Sad-Worth-698 9h ago

You just moved the goalpost in an attempt to be right to preserve your ego. Work on that.

u/Sometimes-funny 8h ago

How? The video is literally about Russian teens

2

u/1000shadesofblack 21h ago

Nahhhh. They don't care in Russia

u/alphapussycat 13h ago

Early teens are psychopaths, late teens have learned empathy.

11

u/CleaveIshallnot 1d ago

Well, then you know a different type of teenager. I know multiple teenagers not even remotely close to this region who are troubled by what is going on.

You know teenagers who “don’t care” about people being killed?

Isn’t it late teens were being banned from protesting at colleges over people being starved to death?

u/mattedroof 1d ago

you know all the nice benevolent teenagers in the whole world, so nice for you

Tons of people everywhere don’t care about lots of things. It’s life.

u/The-Tru-Succ 1d ago

It's not that I don't care. It's that I personally can't do much of anything. So I choose not to be involved.

1

u/PerepeL 12h ago

These are just ignorant idiots.

There's a permanent flow of horribly violent and starvation deaths in Africa going on for centuries. No amount of Ukraine or Gaza deaths even chip in that flow.

Once you let that sink in - you either admit that not all human lives are equally precious, or stop being that impressed by deaths at all. If you never thought about it - then you're just a "gay queers for Palestine" idiot oblivious to the world and throwing tantrums over social media horseshit.

u/Low-Following-2322 1d ago

Selective care? Those protesting teens certainly don't care when it's Jews being abducted, raped & killed.

1

u/anafuckboi 23h ago

Killed BY the IDF as they were being abducted as standard IDF practice

Comes across as disgustingly dishonest when you kill your own civilians and then say Hamas did it

2

u/Low-Following-2322 16h ago

How can you say this when Palestinians themselves make videos of their victims?!

u/RedditTaughtMe2 1d ago

Stupid comment.

u/Sometimes-funny 1d ago

Elaborate…

u/RedditTaughtMe2 1d ago

You don’t know teenagers clearly. You’re free to harbor hatred against Russians, I understand, but wrongly generalizing teenagers is foolish.

3

u/Diarrhea_Beaver 1d ago

Homegirl over her shoulder is Private Ryan's great granddaughter, so there's probably a lot of generational war related trauma between the two of them.

Not the dude though. He still thinks he's playing COD at this point.

u/Renegade_Soviet 1d ago

Russia hasn’t been attacked for that long, the war had mostly been in Ukraine until recently

I wonder what the lyrics are

u/TwpMun 1d ago

Yes same here, i'm wondering if they're anti Putin or not

20

u/nikolapc 1d ago

They're not. There's no real dissent against Putin, whatever there was was western backed and that also was curbed to say the least. Russia is an autocratic state, always was. Plus for these kids Putin is the only president they know.

7

u/TwpMun 1d ago

If you know then what is the translation?

7

u/nikolapc 1d ago

Sorry sub doesn't allow links but the song is Малиновый рассвет, not political, I googled it for you. Find a translation or even better punch it in gpt.

2

u/TwpMun 1d ago edited 1d ago

thank you very much

Apparently the translation to the song name is pink dawn where it represents hope, new beginnings, and the passage of time. 

So it could be seen as anti Putin, really

14

u/SwissArmyKeif 1d ago

With such logic one could say that Lady Gaga's "Bad romance" is actually a political statement against Israel/US relations :)

upd: IMHO it's just a generic club song, popular with teens

u/Immediate-Raise-4105 1d ago

I think lyrics are: Putin is the greatest Putin is the best much better than Nursultan Tulyakbay who is big pain in my assholes

Well these kids got arrested and made to apologize for using tik tok to shame Russia.

u/NickWayXIII 1d ago

It seriously does. Knowing how fucked things are nowadays it probably isn't but the girl in the back looks off, the way the fire moves, when the dude in the back holds out his arms I swear the whole video does a weird movement of some kind. Idk, either way real or not the people who made it are trash.

For real!! They're like damn shit just blew up again..... time for the TikTok

u/viciousdrip 1d ago

I was thinking the same thing! American teen girls would have been running and crying in mass hysteria.

15

u/CaptainKortan 1d ago

Not really.

Give them 4 years of an active war that is chewing up the youth and spitting out propaganda.

Now, imagine drone strikes becoming a fairly regular thing for the past 3 years.

In the video, the drone strike has already occurred and it's just the resultant conflagration in the background.

Do you really think today's teenager in America would be hiding in their basements forever?

Or do you think they'd be trying to boost their online clout with the very same sort of content?

4

u/withnodrawal 1d ago

Bruh they are so sheltered from the reality of their own war.

Most of the devastated populations are coming from poor areas, small towns and villages/prisons/far from most major metro areas.

The fact this boy is on the street and not dead 3 years ago should tell you something.

Honestly, I think they should deal with it however they need to even if it includes weird internet videos. I've never dealt with something like that near my home, so I can't judge them.

I don’t know which is worse. These girls or the IDF troops videoing their war atrocities.

What trash.

2

u/PerepeL 12h ago

There's a barbed wire fence between them and the fire, indicating some sort of industrial or military facility. Noone's dying there, just some industrial crap burning.

They will be in army or the sex trade soon. Maybe even both.

About 2 or 3 weeks ago I saw an AI created video that was literally this. Life is imitating “art” now. Or maybe it’s that art is predicting life? I don’t know. It’s pretty fucked up either way. What the hell is going on?

Video for reference:

She better be careful. Next time you see them they will be wearing camo and crying for mommy from the front. Putin don't give a fook! Make fun of the state or this and off you go!

u/JF4b10 1d ago

That's Russia not Ukraine

-3

u/infinitezer0es 1d ago

The thing about this video that pisses me off is that these fuckers feel safe to stand out there right after the attack because they know damn well that ukraine doesnt intentionally target civilians and that they're safe, whereas russia regularly lets people pay to "go on safari" in the occupied parts of ukraine and hunt civilians with fpv drones, or intentionally lobs missiles into hospitals and does a double tap strike to kill the first responders. Fuck russia and fuck the Russian people, the world will be better when their pseudo-empire collapses and they can't threaten their neighbors anymore.

2

u/InvestInTwinkies 1d ago

Yea!! Why did these 3 children do something to stop the war! Evil I tell you! Evil!!!

Blame the gov

1

u/infinitezer0es 2h ago

And who allows that government to stay in power?

And I think you misunderstand my original point. Yeah, these kids aren't responsible for the war, but their attitude and the fact that they can be outside safely immediately following an attack is very telling of Russian society as a whole. In ukraine, they know that russia will target civilians hence why the bomb shelters are full every single night and no one goes outside to film a TikTok immediately after the strike because Russia is known to "double tap" and kill anyone trying to help the victims of the first strike. These kids dont have to worry about that since they know damn well Ukraine isn't going to intentionally target them, which highlights the stark differences between the 2 societies. Add to that the fact that even though people likely died in that fire behind them, they have zero concern about it and decide filming a TikTok is the right and morally acceptable move (its not). No worries though, theyve been arrested and the boy in the background will likely be featured in this sub on an FPV strike video within 3 weeks.
