I don't care if my comment is "normal," but it is "rational and source-supported." You're not "calling out hexbear users," you're flaunting your ignorance. Points sourced one by one:
Tweet by the National Guard of Ukraine:
there is no practical benefit to adding fats to bullets right? can anyone comment?
No it's just thinly veiled Islamophobia.
Some fascists have an urban myth that since pork is haram, Muslims shot by a bullet covered in lard go to hell.
Chechnya has a lot of Muslims and Ramzan Kadyrov is the head of state of Chechnya, so "Kadyrov orcs" is a dog whistle for Muslims.
Ah I didn't know lard only came from pigs. I thought it was a general descriptor of like solid fats.
