Why is it that Russia recognizes Easter — but the woke left can't even define what a holiday means anymore?

[Douglas1180]

While Russia just paused its military operations in Ukraine out of respect for the Orthodox Easter holiday, the left here in the U. S. seems to roll its eyes at anything remotely traditional or faith-based.

Think about that. A country actively engaged in war will stop to honor Easter — while our own institutions debate whether it's even appropriate to say "Merry Christmas" or hang up nativity scenes in public spaces.

This isn't about endorsing Putin or glorifying authoritarian regimes — it's about asking why a supposed enemy is more willing to observe religious tradition than the cultural elite here at home.

Russia sees Easter as worth honoring. But in progressive circles, the only thing worth celebrating is the next invented micro-identity holiday. Maybe the woke left can learn something from our supposed enemy -- have some respect!

The people of Russia are actually very religious. The Russian Orthodox Church has 90 million members.

Said about Vladimir Putin...

“He had a devoutly Christian mother and has worn a crucifix around his neck for most of his life. Certainly, he has embraced the patronage of the Russian Orthodox Church and used it to advance his own political purposes domestically and internationally, but that is a centuries-long tradition for Russia.”

LOL, it's fuck all to do with "the left" kiddo.

The dude has no clue what he's talking about, lol. The majority of the left despises Christianity, so why would they even care about Easter? lol 🤣? He's lost

@Babebytheshore85 because they are tolerant and supportive of holidays, some of them entire month long celebrations.

Except he only said he would pause the war and then they attacked Ukraine some more anyway. What a great Christian he is?

[Babebytheshore85]

You just answered your own question. The majority of woke left despise Christianity.

[Babebytheshore85]

So why would they care about Easter?

Happy 420 day.

@Douglas1180,

You love Putin. You should leave the USA and go live in Russia. Be a good traitor and go quietly.

[Douglas1180]

Oh please, you snowflakes are the ones who embrace socialist ideologies right here in your own country. So, no, I won't be packing my bags for Mother Russia. I'm staying put in the land of the brave, where I'll continue to fight against the woke mob's attempts to rewrite history and silence the American way. Keep crying wolf, but remember, it's the righteous who elected Trump, and we're far from done making our voices heard.

Once again your dull brain comes up with the wrong argument. Putin isn't a socialist. Try thinking outside your cult chants for once. Putin is an authoritarian dictator. That's what you love about him. Russia is a dictatorship. And you want the US Constitution burned so you can have a dictatorship here. Hence you are a traitor to your country. You support a wannabe dictator in tRump who is trying to destroy the US economy. Hence you are a traitor to your country. If you want to live in a 3rd world dictatorship with poverty and misery for all, go live in Putin's Russia. He's your hero.

[Douglas1180]

No one said Putin was a socialist (congrats on arguing with a ghost), and no, wanting America to have a culture that still understands what a holiday is doesn’t make me a traitor — it makes me someone who hasn’t surrendered to the woke cult. Take a breath, touch some grass, and try responding to what was actually said next time, while you're not busy deciding how many genders there are.

[DrPepper12]

WTF are you on about? Go have your stupid religious holidays!! IDC!!

[Douglas1180]

Go cry about your stupid alternate lifestyle no one gives a crap about!!

[beefcakebradybatson]

Putin kills his political foes, which Trump may emulate. RUCK FUSSIA !!!

Easter is the risen Savior
