    I feel like the word Nazi has curdled and leftists mean "actual neo-nazis who praise hitler" and libs think it just means "someone i don't like"

      I told that to someone in the MarchAgainstNazis sub before I got banned. When I pointed out the Ukrainian Nazis, they responded with, "America has their own Nazis too, they're called Republicans."

    Fun reminder: The black sun has origins in the Swastika but it is not remotely historical before the Nazis. It was most famously used as a mosaic in one of Himmler's lairs. It is not pagan. It is not nordic. Those are lies.

    It was designed, iirc, as a kind of swastika-wheel out of Sig runes. You know, the SS runes.

      Himmler was a big time larper who would make up dumb "Germanic" shit and pretend he was in some kind of pagan Knights of the round table story. Few people bought into it, and Hitler thought he was a moron.

        He really was like a 4chan Nazi, a pit of endless cruelty but completely inept at anything in the real world. Like when Hitler gave him control of an acutal army, he was just insanely bad at commanding, even for Nazi generals. He was literally fantasizing about the crusades as the Soviets devastated his army group in the Vistula–Oder Offensive.

        It really is amazing. I like to imagine some critical shipment of German steel was diverted so Himmler could make chainmail in his castle.

          Exactly. To add to your point: sex sells but it sells exceptionally well among those who already thought love was transactional. All those incel losers are primed pumps for this kinda shit.

            The only sanction on Russia I've heard objection to is Onlyfans' blocking of payments to Russians. Which may be fucked, sure, but it's not the only thing that is.

              Well, that's extra fucked in that the west is specifically avoiding sanctions that hurt themselves. This one definitely hurts sex workers in the west. I don't know how much it does, but it does.

      Russian disinformation. Russians have been photoshopping lesser known Nazi iconography onto them, and then not widely distributing the photos on the off-chance some not very well known lib decides to post them.

    So a few people on her timeline ended up coming to her defense when people rightly pointed out that this is a Nazi symbol. They kept linking that patch on Amazon. Just scroll down to the "neat" "customer's who bought this also viewed" list. Its uh... interesting.

        Its just wild that she (and any of the people posting the link) didn't take a few seconds to scroll down and have a look at the page. Or, hell, just do a search for what the symbol means. But I guess libs are just in denial.

      Why are the other options for that patch biohazard symbols? Is it just to sneak Nazi iconography onto Amazon's storefront, put an innocuous patch in the front, then put Nazi patches as another option?

      Also, have fun with your Amazon recommended NOW, libs. The Amazon algorithm now thinks you're nazis, and will recommend things accordingly. Sincerely, all leftists who have been to Youtube.

      here in germany, it's illegal to fly the YPG flag even though our government has sold tons of rifles to them, has trained some of their fighters and has repeatedly worked together with Rojava to extradit wanted criminals.

    They also prevent black people from my country from leaving and going home. And the news won't call it out, and the South African refugees are too scared to call it outright, they just say that they're "prioritising Ukrainians" when interviewed by the news. It's absolutely sickening.

    I actually found a woman who had this tattooed on her chest on tinder. Like what the fuck.
