i have a feeling a lot of slavic nazis start off as dipshit lumpen who see a symbol and say "bro that looks fucken sikc imma get that tatted on me" without any historical context or knowledge, and then the ideology comes from associating with others who are into similar symbols . i don't say this to be generous or to give them a free pass. I just don't see how else thousands of young men can end up rooting for a historical movement that literally saw them as untermensch.
this is the post-soviet version of palingenetic ultranationalism. nostalgic idolization of the USSR as a "great power" and a "golden age" without any understanding of what made it greater than any other state that ever existed on Russian soil. Zero understanding of the explicitly anti-racist, anti-nationalist framework that enabled a multi-ethnic nation like that to thrive, no regard for the alternative economic system that made it the only state on that land to ever treat its citizens with the dignity human beings deserve. just "we were STRONK under Stalin bc great man theory!!!!"

that's also how you end up with incoherent nazbol shit like this
The linked photo says to me "I don't care what you believe, I just want Russia to be strong."
Awful taste, but pretty amazing execution.
Most thoughtful nipple placement I've ever seen in a chest piece
