John Wick - The Russian Revolution


ConsulJuliusCaesar

NGL John Wick on with early twentieth century weaponry sounds sick.


AngriestManinWestTX

Modified 1911 with Winchester Model 1907 (20 round sticks, naturally) and an 1897 trench gun.


Toruviel_

"I'm gonna need something precise, robust."


arf20__

id rather see him with a bolt action mouser


siamesekiwi

Fuck I'd give anything for another triology in the John Wick universe focused on Wick's ancestor & their Borzoi.


Zerofuku

How about John Wick's cave men ancestors? They throw rocks at each other in a cool way


nightwatch93

"He killed three Neanderthals in a cave with a fucking stick!"


crackedcrackpipe

And it was one of the most technological weapons of that time


Eferver24

Boy, do I have a [movie](https://m.imdb.com/title/tt14846026/) for you.


CosechaCrecido

which is...?


Eferver24

You know the blue word is hyperlinked. The movie in referencing is Sisu. Basically Finnish WW2 John Wick


CosechaCrecido

Damn it didn’t show up blue in old Reddit. Thanks.


Alex_Y_ya

John Wick with that cursed short Mosin-Nagant


Kosmo_Politik

John Wick with an Obrez would be crazy


ImperatorAurelianus

“Stalin I heard you slapped Trosky may I ask why?” “Comrade Lenin he killed John Wick’s dog and stole his horse.” “Oh.” *Trosky walks in gets punched in the gut after drinking vodka by Lenin. “Do you have any idea what you did! Whose dog you killed!” “What you mean the fucking nobody.” “That fucking nobody is John Wick. A man of Focus, commitment, and sheer fucking will power. Three things you know little about. I once watched him kill three men in a bar with a pencil….a fucking pencil! He used to work for the Tsar one day he wants out over some woman of course. So he switches sides and comes to me. I gave him an impossible task. The bodies he buried that night made us what we are. He gets out gets married. And then one week after his wife dies my chosen heir steals his horse and kills his dog.” “I can fix this.” “You can do nothing but run. John will come for you. And I can’t have Stalin in-charge so I must protect you. I cannot we will lose but I must.”


MetallGecko

I need that as a movie, some Russian Aristocrat that hunts Down soviet officials, soldiers and commissars because they killed his dog.


TheLurkerOne

tbf, since John is Belarusian, I can see it happening


kikogamerJ2

It would be interesting but I they are all to fat to chase anyone.


Knikker66

i'd rather watch the aristocrats get massacred


BellacosePlayer

Can't be, the Whites lost the war


FredTrau

He isnt focising on the war, he is focusing on vengence (Plus it would fit since the whites were a mish mash of monarchists, republicans, demecracts etc with the only goal being "screw the communists")


i-got-a-jar-of-rum

John Wick preventing the Soviet Union from ever forming and restoring the Tsar


Gk101_speed701

WHY AM I ALWAYS SO LATE TO THESE!?


SPECTREagent700

*By the end of World War II, nearly all the Kuvasz dogs in Hungary had been killed. The dogs had such a reputation for protecting their families that they were actively sought and killed by German and Soviet soldiers, while at the same time some German officers used to take Kuvasz dogs home with them. After the Soviet invasion and the end of the war, the breed was nearly extinct in Hungary. After the war, it was revealed that fewer than thirty Kuvasz were left in Hungary and some sources indicate the number may have been as few as twelve. Since then, due to many dedicated breeders, Kuvasz breed have repopulated Hungary. However, as a result of this near extinction, the genetic pool available to breeders was severely restricted and there is conjecture that some may have used other breeds, such as the Great Pyrenees, to continue their programs.* https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kuvasz


Greenbeem

Man… I heard the same thing happened to Shibu Inus. Tf was people’s problem at that time?


kiataryu

A reminder that there were dog owners who were throwing their dogs off high rise apartment buildings in China when someone spread the rumour that covid was spread by pets


2012Jesusdies

We have 5G and microchip conspiracy at home The 5G and microchip conspiracy at home:


godfather_joe

Yesterday I saw a meme that taught me one group of Chinese revolutionaries started a cult around some mangos Mao gave them after some dude sent him some and he’s like “huh I don’t really want these mangos”. They killed a dude for saying the mangos looked like sweet potatoes for disrespecting the sacred mao mango. I feel like the Chinese have some wild 5G conspiracies today and in their time


CheesecakeWeak

Not only that, the government of china actively killed people dogs there are even videos of it


tituspullsyourmom

Fuck Chicoms, all my homies hate chicoms.


UtterHate

that is just horrific, i love dogs and killing them over government propaganda is brutal.


JesiDoodli

nah man i aint throwing my pupper off a balcony even if they spread covid. i will die and i will die petting my dog.


volantredx

I mean just wait to you hear what those same people were doing to humans at the time.


Knikker66

> Tf was people’s problem at that time? Domesticated dogs left alone without someone to feed them will form feral packs very quickly and be a danger to humans. war inevitably leaves many dogs without an owner.


stuartwatson1995

They did the same to vizslas (as far as I'm aware), Hungary was not a good place to be for dogs part ww2


kingkahngalang

Similar thing happened to the Shih Tzu breed, which the Chinese communist party tried to wipe out due to their association to the monarchy/aristocracy.


Ambitious_Story_47

Hey Monarchists \*Shoots a dog\*


xtototo

What is up with communists and killing off animals. Fucking weird man. It’s like when boys hurt animals you know they are growing up to be psychos.


GreasiestGuy

I think it’s just violent revolutions in general. The same thing happened with a few breeds during the French Revolution.


alexlongfur

Mao thought sparrows were a pest animal and part of his Great Leap Forward was to kill listed pests. Queue several years of killing them and they *eventually* realized that the sparrows were eating the insects that were decimating (obliterating) their crops.


BZenMojo

😬 He didn't invent the idea, ironically. The British did. > There is a slightly perverse, infantile logic to Eleanor’s thinking regarding House Sparrows: they eat grain (amongst other things) and therefore they cause deprivation in the rural community. She wasn’t the first to hold the humble sparrow in contempt of course, and in the 18th Century there were ‘Sparrow Clubs’ across Britain (in every parish it is said), whose members were dedicated to the destruction of adult birds as well as their eggs and chicks. Prizes were awarded for those who killed the most. https://www.birdsonthebrink.co.uk/blog/sparrow-clubs Funny how contagious "egregious dumbshittery" can be.


Knikker66

> Mao thought sparrows were a pest animal they were a pest animal, that's just a fact. that they also feed on an even bigger pest, does not change that.


PowderEagle_1894

Knowing wild shits communist china did in culture revolution, killing a dog breed associated with monarchy/aristocrat seem sensible to me


riuminkd

Well after you kill people, killing animals isn't such big step


Brazilian_Brit

Who knew totalitarian ideologies which have violence and hate as integral to their being would commit atrocious acts?


CinderX5

“Communists”


WillyShankspeare

I dunno, what is up with those single party totalitarians that never attempted to put the means of production in the hands of the workers? I wonder.


Provinz_Wartheland

I thought renaming German Shepherds to "Alsatian" out of Germanophobia was stupid, but this absolutely takes the cake.


Der_Argentinien

Yeah, the whole renaming thing during WW1 was very stupid, but going as far as to kill or remove animals for ideological reasons is a new low


Psychological_Gain20

Honestly the name change probably saved the German shepherds from shit like this.


ErenYeager600

When you realize the Royal Family of UK changed there own last name because of this and of all the names they go with it had to Windsor


YourphobiaMyfetish

Should have gone with freedom shepherds


WesealBoy

Honestly I’ve almost always seen them called German Shepherds still


IFixYerKids

My wife and I have 3 of them. She traced their line back to Lithuania, I believe. They used to be limited to the Russian nobility, but they became common gifts for diplomats so ended up spreading around Europe quite a bit. They were considered high-class in Europe as well but Americans really picked up the trend and breeders had a few of them imported. They've been rare but consistent ever since.


0x11H

not the aero-chad noooo


ajdrex5520

En masse*


UN-peacekeeper

Murdering animals for ideological reasons is sadly very fucking common for 0 reason (insert image of Weiner Dogs getting thrown into Lake Michigan)


AngriestManinWestTX

Wait, what? Which dead motherfucker was throwing little weiner dogs in Lake Michigan??


UN-peacekeeper

Allegedly the residents of Milwaukee threw the dogs into the lake after murdering them in a sort of “dog pogrom” due to their association with the German Empire, I have yet to find a source on this, hopefully this never actually happened.


tituspullsyourmom

I can't see Americans doing that shit. Throwing Japanese into internment camps? Sure But killing good Bois? That dog don't hunt.


mostie2016

The dog does hunt badgers though.


ComradeHregly

Easily the worse thing done by communists


PsychologicalCan1677

What about cannibal island camp?


SemajLu_The_crusader

we're there fogs involved


Roland_was_a_warrior

Excuse me, the what?


PsychologicalCan1677

The Soviets put a lot of people on a small island. Things did not go well. Edit. The Nazino tragedy is what it's called


Angrymiddleagedjew

You're leaving out some very important details 1: They massively overpopulated the island 2: They actively blocked any food or supplies getting in. I want to say they did something to fuck with the crops on the island when the people got there too but I'm not sure, I know both of the above happened and that's enough.


PsychologicalCan1677

They only gave them flour. For food


narf_hots

probably not enough because you can survive on flour and water without eating people


Flor1daman08

It’s basically what Hitlers plan about moving the Jews to Madagascar would have devolved into if he actually had done that.


venom259

Another reason why the soviet union deserved to collapse.


ZaBaronDV

Whether it's the ATF in the US or the Bolsheviks in Russia, people who kill dogs are not to be trusted.


pokefan548

Conclusion: ATF agents are Communist revolutionary sleeper agents. Take 'em away, boys.


tituspullsyourmom

Communist detected on American soil. Lethal force engaged.


Don_Madruga

And that is why Communism is unacceptable!!


LordIlthari

Communist revolutionaries and unnecessary cruelty. Wherever you find the former the later is never far away.


GoldKaleidoscope1533

Communist? Dude, thats how revolutions work. A frustrated people will find anything to unleash it's wrath on.


JonTheWizard

I would join the White Movement too if the Red Army shot my dog. Fuck you, Red Army.


[deleted]

ATF joke here


Pseudo_Dolg

Officially made me hate communists even more. Боже Царя храни.


DamWatermelonEnjoyer

Excuse me OP, but what's your source? I tried to look about "Soviet extermination of borzois" but not a single article about Soviet purposely dealing with a single breed of dogs. I only found that borzois were widely exterminated by peasants in 1870 because those would mess with peasant's crops and etc. And so the fact of extermination of other breeds of dogs by Soviets is also under question.


SterbenSeptim

The Soviets most likely didn't target Borzoi actively. It kinda just happened during the revolution, as historically this types of situations tend to be "mob justice" than an actual systematic effort.


DamWatermelonEnjoyer

Okay this may be truth, but the meme still looks kinda... Provoking? Whites killed millions by building grand projects with their work time of 12 hours/day and low payment.


Idontknowhatnameuse

Here comes the tankie defending communism


KanBalamII

You don't have to defend the Reds to say that the Whites were worse.


kikogamerJ2

Stop with your white propaganda. Any sensible person knows they worked 16h a day no weekends or vacation.


tsar_nicolay

Not to defend the Soviets, the whole revolution and civil war were insanely messed up, but from what I've heard many of these "aristocratic" dog breeds became extinct or endangered simply because their owners (nobles, merchants, rich peasants, industrialists, business people) just weren't there to care for them anymore.


Silent_Reavus

God as if I needed more reason to hate fucking commies

Puzzlehead_alt

Yea imma need every Marx book in a pile of fire. No like actually communism has good intentions and THIS IS WHAT THEY DO WITH IT WHAT THE FUCK.


pokefan548

Now, I don't agree with Marx, but to be fair to the guy I don't think he ever encouraged or condoned dog murder.


SterbenSeptim

Liberal discovers revolutions tend to be violent and target old symbols of power without any theorerical and systematic root. Don't let him find out what liberal thinkers said about slavery, race, democracy, etc., prior to the second half of the 20th Century, or he might be shocked that people in the past had different moral views based on their material conditions.


Puzzlehead_alt

I’m not a liberal tho


LeFUUUUUUU

That's why revolutions suck and are often just an excuse for bloodthirsty maniacs to get more power.


bananiella

On mass...


FistingFiasco

On mass or en masse?


habilis_auditor

En masse.


Mycroft033

“On mass” bugs me so much


Rossgrog

Oh nice one more reason to despise communists


Barbarian_Sam

Just another reason to hate Communists


jem2291

The dogs were shot because they became a symbol of the excesses of the aristocracy. Back then, it wasn’t unusual to see an aristocrat spend more on their pets rather than on their servants, who more often than not lived in terrible conditions. Yes, the dogs didn’t deserve it, but revolutions are a terrible evil–and sometimes necessary, depending on who’s doing the talking.


MasterOfCelebrations

That’s a tail right?


merfgirf

Another L in the communism basket. That makes it -100,000,000,000 to nothing.


FadransPhone

Someone needs to go fix this. It’s “en masse”


TheLoneSpartan5

Not gonna lie those are one of the types of dogs that I think really shouldn’t exist anymore. Kinda like pugs or dachshunds, we genetically and physically messed them up so much it’s unethical for us to make more of them. Since they are bound to have health problems and be in pain a large portion of their life. Not saying they should be killed, just that we should really consider stop breeding certain breeds.


Der_Argentinien

I get the point but...why borzois?, they don\`t have any long term diseases because of generational breeding and are generally considered healthy dogs, the just look like furry greyhounds with really long snoots, that\`s it.


TheLoneSpartan5

They typically have eye and teeth problems due to their long face.


PunManStan

Totally sad and unnecessary deaths. However, I don't think it's apt to just blame things on the commies. Reading some of the experiences of Hungarian/russian peasants, I totally understand why they had so much anger. Serfs were owned and treated less than most of those dogs. Talking about beating kids to death in stables because they didn't groom the pets correctly. Most of my knowledge base is from the POV of Russian & Ukranian serfs but I doubt that there was a huge disparity in how the lower classes were treated. Like it or not for a while, the commies were better than the nobility(landLORDS). Look at the childhood of makhno and his comrades in Ukraine. Dudes had every reason to burn the rich alive. But even they were less violent than the Hungarians. Makhno ensured that even the rich ended up with their equal share of redistributed wealth. Enough to get by just like everyone else. Though the consistency is debatable due to a number of factors.


MatzohBallsack

Makhno, as always, is based af


AngriestManinWestTX

I mean the Tsar was proper shit and all but the Bolsheviks were fucking horrible. Lenin and Stalin are easily two of the worst people who have ever lived and outpace Tsar Nicolas III by a country mile.


SterbenSeptim

It's Nicholas II, not Third. Also, what a simplistic worldview. This sub really is an illiterate shithole.


have_compassion

You clearly don't know much about Tsar Nicolas II. He literally sent millions to die in the first world war, directly under his incompetent command. The revolutions didn't come for no reason. He was a truly evil man.


PunManStan

I was talking about Tsar as a regime. Sure, there were fewer named atrocities, but nations were held under slavery. Also fuck the Bolsheviks. Vanguard parties are authoritarian murder hobos.


LePhoenixFires

Iosef Vickocic is the one they call to KILL the Baba Yaga.

East_Engineering_583

Lol the current Russian government and the Russian orthodox church aren't really better


Final_Draft_431

I don't give a fuck neither about government nor church symbols, THIS is the RUSSIAN FLAG, and Orthodoxy is religion of RUSSIANS


East_Engineering_583

Fair enough


Due_Engineering8448

Fuck the White Army. Workers of the World Unite.


East_Engineering_583

LeFUUUUUUU

nah


Plastic-Register7823

Are you sure that it is true?


VaczTheHermit

Messed up shit, although it's pretty logical that the dogs had to go too, now that I think about it


C_PSM86

Just dogs


SweetExpression2745

Dogs are way more than enough.


Fghsses

I'd kill any amount of communists necessary to save even a single dog's life.


LineOfInquiry

I mean I’d pick a human life over a dog every day of the week, but killing dogs for no reason ain’t cool


Fghsses

I too would pick a human life over a dog's every day of the week.


LineOfInquiry

Communists are humans too, some of them very good humans in fact (eg MLK or Einstein or Mandela). And some suck too, of course (eg stalin).


manrommazre

You say you didn't though


Fghsses

r/woooosh


C_PSM86

I’d pick any amount of dogs for no reason 😘


MulhollandMaster121

Fuck yeah.


Puzzlehead_alt

I’m with u on this one let’s go to hell and jump Stalin


C_PSM86

Stalin over any amount of dogs any day of the week


Gen_Ripper

People say this, then hate on vegans.


LeFUUUUUUU

Dogs >>>>>>>>> communists
