Lard is pig fat, which they use because it’s not kosher, despite most of their targets not being Jews. Nazism is vibes-based and seldom makes sense.Those who can make you believe absurdities can make you commit atrocities. —Voltaire
It wasn’t because the fascists thought they were fighting Jews (in this case), it was because most of the Chechen soldiers were Muslim, who also have prohibitions on using or consuming pigs. It was of course typical nazi-style petty racism, but it was specifically about targeting Muslims.
there is no practical benefit to adding fats to bullets right? can anyone comment?
Of course there isn’t.
Yeah, thanks for clarifying.
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.
It’s good for making your magazines more irritating to load
