Why lie?
vatniks ? yes i hate their views, are they the worst imperialist out there?
atnik or vatnyk Russian: ватник is a political slur[1][2] in Belarusian, Latvian[3], Lithuanian, Russian and Ukrainian languages based on an internet meme that was introduced in 2011 by Anton Chadskiy, which denotes someone who slavishly follows Kremlin propaganda and espouses jingoism.[4]
The use of the word originates in the internet meme, first spread by Chadskiy on VKontakte, and used in Russia, Ukraine and other former Soviet states. Its meaning refers to the original cartoon, which depicts a character made from the material of a padded cotton wool jacket, and bearing a black eye, and is used to disparage someone as a blindly patriotic and unintelligent jingoist, who pushes the conventional views presented in Russian government media, as well as those views expressed by Russian web brigades.[5][6] "Put simply, the vatnik is representative of a certain archetypical Russian who slavishly supports the regime out of fear, hatred of others, or most often a combination of both."[7] The name "Vatnik" derives from the cotton wool jacket that Chadskiy's cartoon character in the meme is made from.
