These people want many schoolchildren to join this movement, they started making a signature of PMCs this movement, they started making a signature of PMCs and call themselves PMCs. Radan, the founder of this movement, Shadow Race, is against this crap. And in general, he gives a position that crap. And in general, he gives a position that this is a generation and not PMCs. Shadow Race is a performer of tracks about DOTA 2, he is also a streamer, now the founder of the Redan generation, and the principles of Redan are mainly that people of informal appearance, de-densatiks, are trying to defend their rights against are trying to defend their rights against cattle, gopniks, ovniks, and so on. One of the main representatives of anime culture, a Dota 2 streamer and also Shadowraise's best friend, is relatively against this movement. Well, in short, all my Asians are Asians. If someone disappeared and appeared, videos where people's hair is cut, I saw where people were, but honestly, I wouldn't call it a fight, I called it just I do n't know. Guys, I'm like that. On n't know. Guys, I'm like that. On February 23rd, in the eighth grade, some strange nonsense was happening in the Aviapark shopping center in Moscow, namely, battle matches and [ __ ] where there were, if not headlights, that is, Radanovites and people who are against these non-formers, like gopniks, officers, even Dogestans, questions on the Internet, one of the Redaks was returned with a knife in the toilet. And someone was even thrown from the third floor, crawling around on the Internet. I'm getting really scared. After all, I saw two types of videos where several Rydanovites approach a person with short hair, or, conversely, officers approach an ordinary guy with long hair, surround him and with a knife. In general, cutting off his hair is the most terrible crap. They generally mow down how you are dressed or how you look in 2023. On the one hand, the plus is that there are people who will give up their rights. On the other hand, the minus is that to suppress one in a crowd, to attack on the sly is generally not nice at all, it's stupid, it's not masculine. It's like we're stepping back in evolution, namely to 2007, where if people saw you dressing like Emma, ​​you automatically became some kind of disgraceful freak and generally an outcast of society. And God forbid you watch anime. Who kicks you on the street? Now anime fans have grown up and are ready to join a raid to take revenge on bald boys for their actions. You know what else is absurd about the situation recently? I just looked around and found an additional video in which one guy looks like a neuro, his hair is like a neuro, and he beats up exactly the same guy as him, only dressed slightly differently. slightly differently. This is such nonsense. They are two identical, only This is such nonsense. They are two identical, only one is wearing a T-shirt and has a spider on his back, plus he will find a scarf, and the other is without these clothes, but looks exactly the same as him. In general, I ask you, please. Like and subscribe to my channel. There will be a lot of interesting things here for now.
