* During an interview with Tucker Carlson in February 2024, UsefulNotes/VladimirPutin attempted to justify his war against Ukraine by citing the fact that, in the ninth century, Russia and Ukraine (and Belarus) were a single country, which he was seeking to reunite. This promptly backfired on multiple levels: first, it was pointed out that the capital of [[UsefulNotes/KievanRus said country]] was not Moscow, but ''Kyiv'', meaning that Putin was unwittingly advocating for Ukrainian rule over Russia rather than the other way round. Secondly, the president of Mongolia pointed out that, more recently, Russia had been part of the Mongol empire (which was much bigger at its height than the Russian one ever was). Thirdly, nationalists in China began asking when, in that case, Russia was going to return the Far Eastern territories taken from them in the 19th-century treaties of Aigun and Beijing, especially the port of Vladivostok -- which happens to be the HQ for Russia's Pacific Fleet.

Midway through the movie, when they are questioned by children of their family the why of the feud, the only answer is "tradition". They've simply always been feuding, with no clear indication of why or who started, and dating back to the stone ages.

Complete with tongue-in-cheek lyrics such as "It's tradition, that makes it okay" in order to mock the idea that an abhorrent act is acceptable if it is "traditional."

[[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Appeal_to_tradition Appeal To Tradition]]--also called "Appeal to Antiquity", or "We've Always Done It This Way,"--is the polar opposite of AppealToNovelty, where the ''older'' position is right. See also TheyChangedItNowItSucks, NostalgiaFilter, OlderIsBetter, LuddWasRight, GoodOldWays, and NewMediaAreEvil. This tends to be rolled out regarding consumer products and morality; in the former case, they don't make 'em like they used to, and in the latter, it was better in the good ol' days. Old ways do tend to be workable, or they don't become old ways in the first place; what makes this a fallacy is the unstated assumption that no better way is possible. See also CultureJustifiesAnything and NobodyEverComplainedBefore. Quite similar to AppealToNature. Cases of TheyChangedItNowItSucks often fall into this fallacy (e.g "Character x has always had blue eyes before, so changing her eyes to green is bad.")
