I figured by now the war should have attracted enough grifters for the symbols to start mutating. Now I'm casually trawling through the t-shirt websites looking for a spectacle bingo. :debord-tired:

    I'm feeling charitable this morning, so I shot that person a message saying "hey you know that little symbol is for the neonazi batallion, right?"

    Will keep you posted if I get a reply, but since they're an 'all lives matter' type I expect they'll be fine with being associated with that and ignore me.

      It's hard to gauge with them. Their profile picture looks vaguely white, but they only have one other product (https://www.etsy.com/listing/1190136495/save-every-life-ukraine-save-dogs-save) which is the same theme but using a non-political "save every life" slogan. She's also donating a nonspecific amount of proceeds to nonspecific shelters in nonspecific countries and everything is dog-themed. I could go either way.

        Yeah, like I said, I'm not expecting a response, and if I do get one, it'll probably be either "lol theyre not nazis the government said they made them nonpolitical!" or "lol so what" to which I would tell them to face the wall and probably get myself banned from Etsy.

      that little symbol

      Are you referring to the trident symbol on the shirt? I didn't know that it was for the Azov battalion. I thought it was more or less a national symbol of Ukraine.
