FinlandСтаканы битьBernd2022-01-25 23:59:11 · 4yNo. 133325reply
When I was a child I read a lot of old Donald Duck comics. I remember in some of them that took place in old Tsaric Russia, the tradition of breaking glasses was predicted there heavily (Стаканы бить ?). The Russian characters really liked throwing their glasses and shattering them.
 
How common was that tradition, during what period did it become popular, was it commong among commoners or only the aristocrats?
I'm having trouble finding a good article about this subject since I am not really sure what I am supposed to google about, not even the correct term. Further information is required.
 
>According to the legend, people present during this episode misinterpreted the Tsar's words and thought that Peter called to break the glasses (Russian: Стаканы бить! - literally beat glasses or break glasses), that's how a tradition of breaking drinkware on certain occasions appeared in Russia. Glasses were broken after especially important toasts or just during the especially cheerful parties. Russian restaurants even held a special prices for breaking the glasses. Breaking of drinkware, or, in wider context, any tableware, is believed in Russia to bring luck and happiness.
 
My lack of knowledge of this subject greatly annoys me, even if might be trivial for some.

I have great hair genetics, despite being obese NEET retard that showers like once a week.
This thick hair of mine with perfect hairline has given me absolutely nothing, as i never leave my apartment other than to buy more junk food.
I know some E-friends of mine that whine about their balding head, while they live near identical life as myself. At least my fatness has some practical implications that makes life harder, being ugly or bald has none if you just live on the internet.

Why are Kohlfaces so disgustingly racist? Why are people in general so disgustingly racist anyway? They stole the land from the natives, subjugated and almost genocided them, to this day they are discriminated even for insignificant things like this face tattoo.
 
It also makes the world more boring. Do they want everyone to look literally the same? I think it's neat that you see such a person on tv.

I personally am not a racist, but i do believe some cultures are vastly inferior to others.
I am against multiculturalism, but not against multiracial societies.
If niggs become like Obama or whatever and start acting like civilized people, i have no problem with them.
Whole race vs IQ thing does have some limited merit, but i also don't believe that people should be shunned because they have lower average IQs. It's not like every single nigg is some 69IQ max aggressiveness monster. Those can go fuck themselves, but if a nigg proves themselves to be civilized and actually integrated enough, i have no problem with them

Canadians view it as a rebellious thing. I'm having to draw upon memory but it can symbolize something simple like pride in rural lifestyles. As far as that whale-war dude is concerned, I have no idea. I just found it funny after watching some YouTube clips of his.
 
obviously the last thing I would expect is some vegan, anti-whaling left-of-center politically-motivated person to have stickers like that. But here we are and I certainly live in clownworld.
