Has anyone else noticed NAFO types calling Russians (and sometimes just anyone who isn’t foaming at the mouth calling for endless war) “Muscovites” over the last few months? It seems to have replaced “orcs” in the lexicon of the people I regularly encounter online, and they use it like a racial slur. It kind of seems the NAFO types are having a hard time coming up with a catchy slur they can use against Russians specifically that isn’t a slur against Slavs in general.
I think because orks made some moderates uncomfortable after the initial bloodlust and indignation wore off, so they’ve had to move to making it seem like all of Russia are just Putin’s mindless puppets.
