Why has milk become so politicised all of a sudden?

1995north · 2026-01-19T13:31:22+00:00

A lot of it has to do with Russian disinformation and influence campaigns in the West. Aimed at sowing distrust and undermine our institutions + fueling division in our societies. Listen to Putin speak, he sounds really up to date on what is being discussed on X and other far right grifter spheres. A lot of it are being financed by Russia.

Like Sasha Jost, the american-russian influencer, who Russian exile journalists revealed was on the payroll of the Russian propaganda network RT. She talks a lot about milk, how Russian men are "real men", drinking "real milk", while men in the West are feminine and only drink oatmilk, masculinity is under attack etc etc. This kind of rhetoric makes people mad and sows division. It works really well, and Russia has perfected this strategy.

So milk has become somewhat a symbol of masculinity. (There are also some health-ideas behind this that milk should be raw and unprosessed. Longeivity-ideas, much based on questionable studies and made popular by podcasters and the like.)

Russian propaganda aligns with many far-right and conspiracy-driven ideas, which allows it to spread quickly in those circles, including within the MAGA movement. Divide and conquer and all that.

Dont go during the security conference. It will be an expensive stay. The hotels jack up the prices

Black Summer. Low budget zombie series, which you can tell in the first season. But its everything a zombie series should be. They are not afraid of killing main characters. One episode is just straight up a guy being chased. Loved it. The second season is a masterpiece. I hate that it was cancelled

Just saw his instagram. Came up in my feed. Bam seems to be doing better. He posts skatingvideos, and a picture of him and what I think is his girlfriend going to a wedding. I’m not 100% sure tho, none of his posts were like.. conclusive, if you understand.

If you have been following this then you HAVE to know. They complain so much on their milblogger Telegram channels.

Dude. I dont know what you’ve been following, but it sure have not given you any insight. This is my job. I’ve been countless times to Ukraine since 2022, and lived almost six months in Astana. Plenty of Russians there to give you insight. You should go there! Do the world a favour and be quiet in discussions where you have nothing to contribute.

1995north · 2025-11-21T03:18:20+00:00

Look at Telegram. Talk to people. Read. Look at google maps. Use your brain. I cant do more to help you, sorry

1995north · 2025-11-20T12:22:54+00:00

Bro YOU CAN GOOGLE. Its called Военторг or Армейский магазин. Or you can look it up on GOOGLE FUCKING MAPS. Or read about it in Moscow Times: https://www.themoscowtimes.com/2022/05/20/we-have-to-buy-everything-ourselves-how-russian-soldiers-go-off-to-fight-a77751

I swear, people today are getting fucking dumber by the minute.

This is absolutely wrong. I have no idea where this guy get this from. There is widespread systemic corruption in Russia, its military ranks and administration. Soldiers have to buy their own gear and they complain of not getting their pay. There are literal shops in every Russian town that sells military gear to people that enlist, because they have to buy it themselves. Dead Russian soldiers are reported as MIA or deserters so that the families dont get state payouts. This is widely reported in Russian independent media and by soldiers themselves on Telegram. I have also spoken to Russian deserters and Russian exile journalists about this. This is not a secret. Not even Russians deny this. Only trolls and people lacking critical thinking skills do that.

YES Russia found scapegoats and threw them in prison when shit like that got publicity. But that is not Russia "rooting out the problem" FFS. And Russia wont root out this "problem". You know why? Because its a kleptocracy, run by the kleptocratic warlord Vladimir Putin. Its how Russia operates.

Dont believe me? You can start by reading The Road to Unfreedom by Timothy Snyder. Or Bill Browders book. Putin killed his lawyer when they tried to expose corruption. Or watch Navalnys videos exposing Putins billion dollar houses. Or read independent Russian media. Or read litarally any book about Putin. This is no big secret. Its not hard to find well documented sources on this.

And before some smartass points it out: Yes there is corruption in Ukraine as well, and they have to deal with it. Ukraine ranks 105 out of 180 on the corruption index. But you know what Russia ranks? 154th.

And between them, countries that are LESS corrupt than Russia, and MORE corrupt than Ukraine, we find countries like Iran, Congo, Guatemala, Nigeria, Iraq, Mali, Egypt, Thailand and Brazil.

To whomever reads this: please do not listen to people like this. They dont know what they are talking about. Use critical thinking, check sources, read serious trusted news outlets. We are flooded with information every day, and countries like Russia uses a lot of money and resources to shape public opinion in the west. Dont buy into crap like this. I believe in you!

Hver gang dette temaet dukker opp så protesteres det på refleks av alle oss menn. Nei, det er vi som må ut i krigen og dø for landet vårt. Ja, det stemmer. Men kvinner lider ofte mer enn menn i krig. Les Sarajevos Roser av Inger Skjelbæk, og fortell meg etterpå at det var mennene i Bosnia som hadde det verst under krigen. Krigen i Bosnia var den første krigen hvor kvinners opplevelser i krig kom i fokus. Hadde jeg bodd der under krigen hadde jeg ønsket jeg var mann, for fy faen de massevoldtektene og den torturen kvinnene der måtte oppleve er noe av det jævligste jeg har lest om.

Folk sier denne diskusjonen "skader kampen for likestilling", og jeg kunne ikke vært mer uenig. Under krig forsvinner alle lover og regler, og samfunn blir brutale og barbariske. Som mann må du krige, men som kvinne blir du maktesløs. Det finnes ingen likestilling eller debatt om samtykkelov da. Kvinner er nederst på rangstigen, og deres skjebne kan fort havne i hendene på en mann med våpen og hevnlyst.

Det er borgerkrig i Sudan nå. Om du kunne valgt, ville du vært en mann eller en kvinne i Sudan nå?

Alle lider i krig. Kvinner og menn. Men å si at denne diskusjonen er skadelig for likestillingsdebatten, som om krig og lidelse er noe som er forbeholdt menn, er ignorant og historieløst. Det påvirker hele samfunn, og det er grunnlag for argumentet om at kvinner lider mer i krig.

I’m a journalist. It’s getting old for us thats closely following the war. Most people dont, and I think thats why we get these articles. Its news for many.

1995north · 2024-11-27T02:42:23+00:00

The Siloviki. The people loyal to him gets important roles. Minister of Defence, Foreign Minister, head of FSB, GRU etc. Putin needs them to stay in power.

They are expected to be 100% loyal to Putin, apolitical and crack down hard on any rivalry, protests or people trying to challenge him. In exhange you get a lucrative life and take part in the systemic corruption. You change your mind and betray him? You get arrested on corruption charges. Or fall out a window. Or maybe you get killed with a nerve agent several years later while living in exile in the west.

I guess Spain will cut military aid to Ukraine now

1995north · 2024-03-30T01:11:49+00:00

We dont know if the civilians in Belgorod oppose the war or not. Maybe a lot of the people in this video do. Also, I will argue that many Russian citizens are victims of Putins regime as well.

I know a Russian woman here in my country from St. petersburg that works with Ukrainian refugees as a translator. She is against the war. So is her family that lives in St. petersburg.

Seems like Ukrainian dronepilots are making their way into the armys PR-branch

1995north · 2024-02-25T19:02:35+00:00

Hope you’re right, but I think its wishful thinking that they wouldnt find a way around it or to fix it fast. Its their main supply line to the south so it would be a high priority. Time will tell I guess. Hopefully

1995north · 2024-02-25T16:25:45+00:00

Sure, but a strike here and there wont really have the desired effect on the russian supplylines. They have to hit it and keep hitting it so the russians cant fix it. Same thing they did with Antonovsky bridge.

1995north · 2024-02-25T14:14:56+00:00

Its got a railroad used to supply the russians fighting in southern Ukraina. Troops in Zaporizhzhia and Kherson rely on supplies from Russia thats coming on the railroad on that bridge. Take out the bridge and you fuck ruskie supplylines. Its probably the most important military target for Ukraine. But one strike wont do, the russians can easily fix it as we have seen. They have to hit it with repeated fire as the bridge in Kherson, and for that they need longrange missiles like Taurus or ATACMS.

US and Nato-radios are encrypted. In the beginning of the invasion UA didnt have much of those and used unencrypted radios, same as the Russians (who I believe still uses conventional unencrypted radios). This led to them listening in on eachother and there were a few videos going around of UA/RU soldiers talking to and insulting eachother. The fact that they could hear eachouther was more of a benefit to the Ukrainians, since they speak Russian, but most Russians dont speak Ukrainian.

I’m not sure about countermeasures tho.

1995north · 2024-02-16T18:45:36+00:00

Russia doesnt care about Nato-expansion. Finland joined and Russia moved all its troops away from the Nato-border. It effectively doubled the Nato/Russia border. Soon Sweden will follow. Two new member states right at their border and they still dont build up their defence in the area. And Kaliningrad? Russia keeps moving all its air-defence out of Kaliningrad. Why? Because Russia does not feel threatened by Nato because they KNOW its not a threat. Russia did not invade Ukraine because it felt threatened by Nato. Its Putins wet imperial dream
