It's not what you think.
Let me give you an example. /k/ is the weapons/military forum, and it's unironically run by US government authorities. Vulgar racial slurs are wholly permitted -- but if you question certain aspects of US military or foreign policy, or suggest that Russia/China/etc. aren't houses of cards that will topple the moment the US wills it, your comment will probably be deleted and you'll be hit with a 3-day ban.
/k/ has been the U/k/raine board since that invasion started and you risk a ban for deviating from that topic.
/k/ has hated Russian milsurp slavshit far longer than they cared about Ukraine. For years Russiaboos would shit up the board that almighty AK superior firearm or that Russian magical remote turret tank best tank in the world or that new gen fighter plane best stealth plane in the world and all 1/10 of stupid american military budget bullshit.
turns out all that crap was just what everyone expected it to be: fabricated lies. And also Russians are really bad at conducting war and resorting to meat wave tactics. For a board that cares about firearms and military tactics, it didn't take too much of a far reach to dislike and laugh at Russia.
And /k/ forgets the lesson that Finland learned twice, the hard way.
Having more bodies to throw at your enemy is a valid, war-winning tactic. Really that's what the meme _should_ be. Russia will beat you with poorly trained soldiers and two generations old tech. Bet.
But I guess that also undermines everything that /k/ stands for...
