Not one but two Nazi symbols in that image. The black sun, and the Wolfsangel (Wolf's hook).

zelensky started purging them from the military

when did this happen?

Purged by having them die in combat
- Critical uuuuuh support for nazis willingly throwing themselves in the meat grinder.
Putin did most of the purging for him
Liberals have a grassroots process of extrapolating good/bad things based on vibes. Of course, the NYT won't publish report that Putin is trying to eradicate every Ukrainian, but he's a bad guy, so he must be.
Zelenskyy is a good guy, and he's Jewish, so he must have denazified the military, even if there's no source for these claims.
Once you notice this pattern you can find it everywhere, there's no critical thinking going on at all. Like Qanon there's a vibe, a (very stupid) utopian horizon, and any information at all is confirmation that the vibe is correct, Putin is losing, Ukraine is winning, bidenomics exists and is working and we're one proxy war away from the liberal internationale.
- "Anything that can go well, will go well." As the popular lib bumper-sticker around here states

You could literally bring Hitler back from the dead and libs would argue that he's not a nazi.

"Well he is against smoking and is vegan and supports animal rights!"
Pretty sure I've even seen such a take already
- Calling Hitler vegan is so gross. As if they're saying all the people killed in the Holocaust are less than animals.
  You're right, though, there's a disturbing amount of Nazi apologism these days.
"Never let perfection be the enemy of the good. He bravely fought those ruzzians"
he'd show up at the EU like "the migrant crisis now threatens to destroy european democracy" and they'd be like "hm damn okay let's hear him out."
- They made a movie about this lol
- There’s german satire movie where he comes back to life in modern day Germany with this premise lol
They'll just say Nazis weren't that bad like they're doing right now.
Have you ever seen the film 'look who's back'? Every day, it looks more and more like a documentary than a comedy.
- Have you ever seen the film 'look who's talking now'? Every day, it looks more and more like a documentary than a comedy.
They would run him against trump

This is why education is so fucking important. Assuming this person is telling the truth, then they don't know what Nazi symbols look like. That's a failure of the education of their country to protect them from dangerous people.

It’s not a nazi symbol, it’s just the symbol US Marine Scout Snipers like a lot

Wait what? The black sun?
- I think she's referring to this

Ask them if they'd be willing to go into a synagogue wearing those symbols

Meaningless. Ask a Jewish comrade if they deserve the wall and follow their recommendation.
Who gives a shit about whether a fascist is willing to self-identify. If a person willingly displays fascist iconography, the pit is where they belong.
sometimes people are just genuinely uneducated. good chance they really have no idea what those symbols mean.
- I've known about these stupid nazi larp scribbles since being a metalhead in high school and learning about NSBM and how many nazis were infesting the metal scene was but yeah, I have to assume the average person isn't quite as familiar with silly magic nazi runes
  It's been wild seeing these things popping up on more and more mainstream contexts
- Usually when I’m uneducated and someone makes a claim, I do basic research to see if what they’re saying is bullshit. They have no excuse if they’re wasting time defending Ukraine on the internet. Especially since the clown knows enough propaganda talking points to claim that Zelensky purged Nazis

How do I make the emojis real big I want to post hte cat screm emoji real big but I need it to represent how extremely cat screm I feel. I AHATJKel;A EW W4RG HQAEW;RLKGHJAEKLRDF;VAEDRFJSV L;KERFV being the person who knows all these fucking symbols and then some gormless liberal creature will go "nuh uh they're not nazis" and it's like you fucking credulous, unacceptably ignorant fuck you have no right to be like this all the actors on the stage know what this shit means and all you're doing is providing shadows for the fascists to hide in you absolute loathsome shitheads fuck.

but how does one lick a gas? smug guy pic
In contemporary language, gaslighting
Low quality shitpost, you need to leave

Checks notes*. Scribbles over notes* rewrites notes* checks notes again* Actually pee pee poo poo

I only hate

lingo because I used to type in it. At some point when I was using that site a lot, years ago, I realized how much that reddit language was making my comments more obnoxious and consciously tried to stop.

One point suddenly it seemed like everybody was using ellipses in a specific way in comments, like "That was... not great." and it drove me nuts, thank you for reminding me how much nicer it is with less of those shit trends.

My Ukrainian isn't so good but did he just say "Slava ukraini, Slava nazi" Holy shit lol
- So this is weird, but 'slava nazi' means 'glory to the nation' in Ukrainian. Like the word 'nation' in Ukrainian is literally 'nazi'.
  Taken from Yandex:
  Nation : нація [ sounds like nazi ]
  Nazi : нацист [ sounds like nazist ]
  So the whole 'idea of the nation' thing is really a dog whistle. Nation / Nationalist /Nazi all share the same root word in Ukrainian.
  I'm not a Ukrainian linguist, but that seems a touch problematic, especially for political discourse in that language.
  Kinda explains a lot how this glorification of nazi ideology has been perpetuated within the culture over decades. Their form of nationalism seems to be linguistically connected to nazism.
- Sure freaking sounds like it.

I really can't figure out how standing in front of a razed city counts as liberating the city.

This particular location was a single street with about 20 buildings on it before this. Now it's flat and entirely undefendable by either side so they just move in, take a picture then move back to an actually defendable position.
Bakhmut was basically rubble by the time Russia conquered it. This is the reality of peer to peer warfare in the modern age.
Well, they razed Berlin and that made Hitler depressed

Brenton Tarrant was just an early supporter of Ukrainian independence, and he was prosecuted by the pro-Putin New Zealand authorities
