It’s so absurd because Russian doesn’t even fucking have the direct article. You can’t say “the Ukraine” in Russian because the language just does not have the necessary part of speech to do so.

Like this is literally some weird totemic thing libs just made up from whole cloth and turned into a shibboleth to differentiate between people faithfully cleaving to official western-approved propaganda lines (good, smart, free thinking) and anyone who doesn’t reorient their entire mode of speech to conform to whatever whimsical bullshit the corporate talking heads have started popularizing today (bad, unfree, probably a perfidious foreign agent doing a heckin wrongthink) and instead is just continuing to use the longstanding and better scanning “the Ukraine” that’s 100% the default for English speakers because it’s pronounced like “the UK” but with an “r” and an “n” mixed in without changing the syllables or vowels.

Disloyalty suspected. Have you not heard that America, the country that proudly invented racism, has fallen under the spell of devious asiatic wizards spreading thought-contagion who are the sole reason that it is racist today? Loyalty to the holy precepts of the state and its most esteemed offices are the highest and purest of truths, and you’re laughing as scheming foreigners with their brainpans are making a buffoonish mockery of our most civil of holy rites?

I do not have objective permanence and I am proud of this, for it frees up more space in my skull to worship our blessed symbols and institutions with!
