i really do love those military jackets with embroidery that resembles a gilded ribcage they serve sooooooo much thanatological cunt it's unreal. the memento mori of it all. the bastardised martyrdom. the self-fulfilling prophecy of dressing yourself in silver and gold evoking the final, fragile shield between the most vital, vulnerable parts of you and annihilation, just to go to a place where the objective is to hack it to pieces as cruelly and efficiently as possible until you resemble nothing more than ground meat trodden into the dust you came from. fuck the military for real and forever but they went harder with horrifically ironic self-deceiving propaganda than anyone ever has or will. give it up for the old lie everyone!

one way to read this is "this man has no idea what he is saying"

another to read this is "this man is terminally online and has excellent comedic timing"

"i have to water the shitbird wait a minute"

"prosper stupid poultry"

oh, but it gets better

"Vedervieh" is a very unusual way to say "poultry: in german. The word in the screengrab translates better as "feather beast"

[acekoral]

Exactly what I wanted to answer. Poultry doesn't convey the emotion behind Federvieh at all
