[NOTE: these terms are weaponized language, & meant to
give offense. Which is the whole & compleat point of insult &
invective, obscenity & blasphemy, & other political speech.]
RUSSIAN: yмрн до пенсии товаришщ…! — Umri do pensii tovarišč…! ‡
RUSSIAN: Метинги — Metingi ‡‡
RUSSIAN: Несанктсй — Nesanktsy ‡‡‡
NOTE: These
var. slogans date fr. summer & fall 2018 protests against Putin’s raising
the age for retirement & pension eligibility, which he did after years
& years & years of resisting IMF’s requests for this. Putin proposed to raise the retirement age for women
from 55 to 63, & for men from 60 to 65. The avg. life span for women is 77,
& for men 66…but as low as 62 or 58 in outlying regions of the Russian
Federation. Essentially men stand a good chance of never seeing their pension,
or at best getting it for a year.. . These protests were organized by the Labor
Federation of Russia, & various anarchist & socialist grps, as well as libertarians,
monarchist/nationalists, & KPRF (the Russian Federation Communist Party).
These var. groups seldomly protested together, tending to hold competing ralleys
& dilute the imessage. There were few arrests in Moscow, where demonstrations
were larger, but hundreds, even thousands, of arrests in St. Petersberg &
smaller cities & towns. Despite the fact that 89% of the country hated
this, it was passed by the Duma on 27 Sept, 2018…
‡) “Die
before you’re due for yr pension, comrade…!”
‡‡) “Meeting” — any officially-permitted
& sanctioned rally or protest;
‡‡‡) “Unofficial
protests…” / “Flash mob protests…” — organized via mobile phone & laptops,
using FB, Twitter, or whatever available online message boards or social media.
& PS:
& a great big go fuck-yourselves to the arseholes at google who are trying
to ruin everything that they buy out.
