What's that, Amerikkka? You spent months denying, dissimulating and whitewashing literal nazis integrated into a modern military as the champions of Ukrainian freedom, only to have the latest spree shooter feature one of their most common symbols front and center in his Livejournal manifesto?
it's gonna be funny when some of these same liberals get murdered by the nazis they're apologizing for.
it won't be funny if/when people I care about get murdered.
Liberals: "No Azov aren't Nazis because they use these fascist symbols, you're just a bitter tankie"
Liberals: "THIS GUY ISN'T AN AZOV NAZI JUST BECAUSE HE'S USING THEIR SYMBOLS AND SAID HE'S A WHITE SUPREMACIST"
Pick one, assholes
He wasn't posting it in relation to ukraine, he and azov both posted it in relation to BEING FASCISTS
It's not an Azov symbol, it's a generic white supremacist symbol. Why does Azov keep using the white supremacist symbol? Uhhhh... Look over there!
What's that? There are videos of Azov members saying they were originally angry at having a Jewish president, but realized they could use him to sanitize their image and get their ideology out? Uhh... Check out these cat videos!

A Nazi apologist with some thoughts on Soviet tanks. Hmm.
I hear that a tankie brigade was directly responsible for bullying a German man until suicide in May of 1945.
In this case she's technically correct; soviet tanks have in fact been deployed to deal with the Nazis in a clear parallel to the suppression of the '56 revolt in Hungary.
It's her disdain for those Soviet tanks which stands out to me. Downplaying current Nazis and demonising the past suppression of Nazis as if those tanks shouldn't have done multi-track drifting over the entirety of the continent.
I'm sure some Azov Battalion guys have posted stuff with a sonnenrad on it
It's on their official fucking emblem! :meow-tableflip: It's not some bad apples.
lol, I think they removed it because they were getting too much heat on it. So libs will think they're not nazis anymore.
Yeah Wikipedia says it was dropped in 2015, but I'm pretty sure I've seen it on uniforms in this war. Also their new logo looks like a swastika IMO, but I don't know its backstory.
"Look guys, just because a few Nazis were seen wearing swastikas, doesn't mean..."
The tankie brigade doing what they do best
Exposing nazis and being the only voice that doesn't immediately and completely capitulate to right-wing hate? Yeah, we are pretty good at that...
Meanwhile it's good to see the lib brigade doing what it does best, which is (particularly clear here) the exact opposite
I like the way r/TrueAnon put it
Buffalo shooter used pro-democracy symbology in his manifesto lol
Oh wow, is there another mass shooting in America that I haven't heard about? Hasn't there been two other big ones in as many months?
Edit: also, I swear PhDs are the dumbest fucking people. They think they're so clever, so they talk with unparalleled arrogance about everything, and 9/10 they have the absolute worst takes.
I only trust PhDs if they did their dissertation on the topic at hand. Otherwise they're just a layperson.
This. PHDs are only slightly behind engineers for suffering from the halo effect.
At times like this, I just remind myself that 8 of the 15 participants at the Wannsee Conference had Ph.Ds.
A kindly reminder that Harvard University created napalm. "It sticks to kids!"
name a PMC who doesn't collaborate with nazis, you can't :amber:

Ryan Knight is literally not a tankie lmfao

EVERY UKRAINE HAS HAD THE FUCKING BLACK SUN ON THEIR UNIFORMS IT IS MORE WIDESPREAD THAN THE AZOV INSIGNIA IN UKRAINE AHHHHHHHH
:jokerfication:
See this, this shit right here? this is comedy.
I hadn't even considered it but yes, obviously American White Supremacists are following the exploits of the most visible and prominent Nazi formation in the world as the go to war with the racial other.
She's correct, but she's still being deliberately misleading, because she will not admit even further down the thread, and definitely won't divulge in her highly visible top comment, the fact that they have a mutual cause.
Like her stated aim is to make sure that nobody gets the wrong idea that the shooter was an actual member of Azov Battalion, but her actual aim is clearly to lead people to think that Azov isn't a neonazi organization.
He didn’t put that there for reasons directly related to Ukraine,

The Buffalo shooter wrote in his manifesto that he was inspired by the New Zealand white supremacist who murdered 51 people in 2019.
And guess who the New Zealand shooter wrote about in their manifesto?
The Neo-Nazi Azov Battalion in Ukraine who the US government is funding.
🤓 "Um acktually it's a general white supremicist symbol Azov like to use constantly, not an actual Azov symbol" 🤓
