The most influential aspect of Black Lives Matter is its name choice. Of course, black lives matter, but the messaging behind the movement itself was pure corruption and controlled civil unrest by the left. It was seen as racist to say that ALL lives matter because the focus was only on Black Americans. Then the police tried to use the term Blue Lives Matter, fueling the animosity. The phrase has caught on, and a Danish director has come under fire for saying “Russian lives matter.”
Lars von Trier risks cancellation after commenting on a social media post featuring Denmark’s latest donation to Ukraine of extremely lethal F-16 fighter jets. “Russian lives matter also!” he stated on the Instagram post. He said his post was for Mr. Zelensky and Mr. Putin, and not least Mrs. Frederiksen (who yesterday, like someone head over heels in love, posed in the cockpit of one of the scariest killing machines of our time, grinning from ear to ear). “Russian lives matter also! Best regards, Lars.”
War is not a movie where actors play life and death. Behind every living russian terrorist, there is a dead Ukrainian. The choice between the executioner and the victim becomes a tragedy when the artist chooses the side of the executioner.
Ukraine doesn’t live in abstraction, but… pic.twitter.com/UfzPySad9d— Oleksiy Danilov (@OleksiyDanilov) August 23, 2023
Ukrainian media outlets turned the post into a story of hatred. Oleksiy Danilov, the head of Ukraine’s National Security and Defense Council, even weighed in on the situation: “The choice between the executioner and the victim becomes a tragedy when the artist chooses the side of the executioner. Ukraine doesn’t live in abstraction, but in a cruel reality in which Russians are murderers. A simple piece of advice for a famous director: imagine that it is a Russian missile that is flying into his city every day, that his father or mother was killed, his grandson was taken to Russia, and that a Russian looter raped his wife before burning down his house. In this case, the abstraction of hypocritical ‘humanism’ takes on completely different features – real, not fictional life.”
This is how wars are waged as the enemy must be dehumanized. As Danilov said, the reality Ukraine wants to portray is a “cruel reality in which Russians are murderers.” So every single person, old and young, in a large country is a ruthless murderer? This is akin to how the terrorist groups in Afghanistan painted all Americans as bloodthirsty killers. It is the same story repeated throughout history – villainize the enemy and cheer his last breath. Human nature is the same wherever you go. Fact: the majority of Russians simply want peace and are not Prigozhin clones plotting on Ukraine’s downfall.
“I was just stating the obvious: that all lives in this world matter! A forgotten phrase it seems, from a time when pacifism was a virtue,” the filmmaker replied, later mentioning he had no idea the trouble his comments would cause. But sure, cheer the image of the F-16 jet designed for mass murder of fellow human beings.

How can anyone say ” Russian lives matter” when the piano playing dick-tater needs more Federal Reserve fiat to save Uke democracy?
Deep Shekels triune of clowns ( a fake Jew, a fake man and a fake Indian ) say the show must go own i.e. billions of Federal fiat shekels for another fake Ukrainian election will be approved by criminal clown Congress.
We managed to have one in 1864 even though Lincoln feared he would lose to Southern sympathizer McClellan. The midget dictator probably couldn’t get elected dog catcher which is why he banned the opposition party among other garbage stunts.
If Russians are prices it’s because they were forced to be that way.
I know of no other nationality that has been so maligned as the Russians.
Even as children we were programmed to see them as nothing more than an enemy.
I think Star Trek’s Klingons were originally supposed to be Russians and/or Mongolians. The character Chekhov was only introduced in the second season.
Sorry, autocorrect turned pariah into prices.
“I know of no other nationality that has been so maligned as the Russians.” How about Germans? Pay attention, man.
Offensive misogynistic picture.
Boris is staring directly at Natasha’s breasts.
Demonizing the enemy is standard practice during war. Thus, you are not killing humans, but sub-humans, animals. Our betters today sleep well because they are only killing cattle, thinning the herd.
Dr. Seuss drew anti-Japanese cartoons during WW2….
Do not forget Bidens speech in front of Independence Hall last year! Trump and all his supporters were “OTHERED” in preparation for the coming civil war/genocide.
Why don’t you stand with UKR, and believe Russians are terrorists?
BFYTW…
NATO…Maidan 2014…Minsk agreements betrayal…The Donbass genocide…Nuland, et al…Lies, deceptions, and major funding by western ideologies…forced regime change, a pattern under the guise of democracy, where 2 wolves and a sheep argue over what’s for dinner…psychopaths with abuse of power and lust for control, by any means necessary. Corrupt.
Sadistic bullies need to be punched in the mouth more often.
My dog in this fight is Vlad, and his courageous countrymen who have had enough of the BS lies the Five Eyes are spewing.
RUS asked for a peaceful solution at one time, only to be rebuffed.
The game has changed.
Who’s crying now?
Karma, bitches.
Reap what you’ve sown.
You made your bed.
Go lay down now.
