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.

      That's one of the shirt designs I was really hoping to find, the true centrist even when it's a war, but nothin'.

        I'm tempted to get it because it's so fucking gaudy. Geopolitical diarrhoea.

        edit: One of the comments from it-

        Beautiful piece of work. I take it to restaurants when we dine out and have it filled with my favorite beer. One waiter put a hand on my shoulder and told me his grandfather was a Ranger, and thanked me for my service. Very moving! https://www.etsy.com/listing/921093238/black-mug-15oz-army-82nd-airborne

        He takes his own special veteran mug, a coffee mug, to restaurants so they can put beer in it. I do not even fucking what.

        edit: Their entire store is just that shirt repeated for different things.

            Oh god, I might need that as a participation trophy for commuting by bike sometimes.

            I trawled all 31 pages and by like page 10 felt like I was having a stroke. Definitely missed at least a few other good ones because they blended in with the absolute slop.

              I put it in my shopping cart for group rides but I've been hovering over the checkout button. Buying it feels like I'm weakening the store owner's grasp on reality.
