You can do your part too by posting your favorite pics from today’s parade!
Mine is Luka and Kim having a cheeky little laugh together:
Bonus points if you comment your best guess what they’re laughing about.
I love Diaz-Canel being partially out-of-frame frame adjusting his suit. He always looks so out of place, especially when everyone else is Slavic or East Asian.
It’s cool that he was there at least. Some Latin American representation. Though i believe i also saw Dilma Rousseff there, if i’m not mistaken?
She was there, you can see her in the live footage of Xi shaking hands with foreign leaders, she was in fact the first one (that was caught on camera).
Wouldn’t be surprised that she was there. I wish they showed them all on camera more. The parade was so quick and then it was just over. I thought Iran’s president was supposed to be there too but I didn’t see him.
Pezeshkian was there with his daughter. CGTN showed all the heads of state arriving on the red carpet before the parade.
In another thread I made the comment that the Chinese parades are always so disciplined and ordered. Compare to the US.
None of the berets are worn the same way. The PLA would never let this fly.
This leading contingent is not even marching in step.
And why are they marching in their combat uniforms? Every other military in the world has dress uniforms for this purpose.
These guys are US army members, dressing in WW1 uniforms for the parade. They are not in step either, some are on their left foot while others are on their right foot. Some are even slouching. Also don’t armies try to put people of similar height on the same row? Even reenactors do a better job.
It’s a even a VS thing. I don’t particularly watch military parades but it’s never been so flagrant to me except in the US. An army that got fat on its own belly, existing only to funnel money to Raytheon Boeing and Lockheed Martin. You can tell they don’t fight equal adversaries from these pictures alone. Their own ships are rusting.
Compare to China’s parade. This is any random picture:
oh my god, did they seriously have them hold the fucking drone?!?
AHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA
Night vision goggles in the daytime lol. They’re just grabbing everything in the equipment room they can put on.
Looks like the US just went and ordered their parade on Wish dot com.
nah china is just the perfect place to host any kind of mass event, the scale is just jaw dropping.
Yeah, Russia’s parade on the Red Square was nice but this is just on another level. It definitely helps that Tiananmen Square is absolutely enormous. Moscow’s Red Square is big by European standards but compared to Tiananmen it looks almost tiny. It’s 73,000 vs 440,000 m² !
Also the attention to detail on such a massive scale is something that will never cease to amaze me, everything is spotless. The most important thing about parades IMO, or really any other big event, is that it showcases planning and organization capacity.
The amount of work that goes into planning, accounting for, and coordinating even 10 people is incredible. Try to get 10 people to stand at an assigned spot, if they even remember it 15 minutes after you point it out. Now imagine doing that and more with 10,000.
please don’t feed the horseshoe theory libsLukashenko isn’t exactly “far-right”. More like a social liberal or euro socdem
I meant the title of this post is a direct reference to a slogan said by the fascist society in verhoven’s adaption of Heinlein’s Starship Troopers ‘I’m doing my part’
I know where it’s from. But for the purposes of this post it’s just a funny meme. It’s a silly title for a silly and unserious post. Don’t analyze too much into it, it’s really not that deep.
@ClathrateG @yet_another_commie “i’m doing my part” has been a commonly used phrase in the lexicon since long before starship troopers came out.
source: I’ve never seen that movie, but I’ve heard it at least since I was a kid in 80s.
Eh…not that many libs here anyway.
Donnie Dumpster going AWOL for a few days
Crawling into a hole and moping about how he’ll NEVER get a military parade anywhere near that good. Deep down really upset about it as it’s one of his great wants in life to put on his generalismo outfit, sit at the grandstand and impress his cool strong male friends with how great his military guys are and have them fawning over it and him.
Those luka and kim ones brightened my day, thank.
What a powerful picture
Just taking a stroll with the bros.
Now that makes me wonder if this type of rebranded conspiracy theory is going to start being louder within the fash and libs in the West -> https://lemmygrad.ml/post/8985949
Lol. I wish.
I sort of love the idea that one of the most powerful men on earth, at a meeting with several other of the most powerful men on earth, is wearing a suit that probably cost like 100 RMB.
It’s those guys:
Feel old now?
