One of the flags is redacted but they left in the Totenkopf. How bad is redacted flag if the actual SS symbol was considered more acceptable?

Also, even Redditors are starting to squirm a little about Nazi symbols in the comments. Not enough to prevent themselves from upboating though!

    I know your followup is going to be to advocate for the genocide of the Ukranian people in response, but no, that is a bad take. The correct take is that Russia is responsible for this by starting the conflict in 2014, forcing the beleaguered Ukrainian government to accept help from nazis to remain in existence - and that once the gains are consolidated and Ukraine can breath, it needs to use the monies and influence it is getting from the west to deal with this issue (starting by banning displays of far right symbols)
    Ukraine remains the most tolerant Eastern European country

    Redditors stop making shit up challenge (difficulty: impossible). Never mind how well established it is that the Euromaidan was gassed by Americans and the secession of Donbas was a response to growing far-right rhetoric after the government pivoted towards Europe, you see it was the Russians who started this whole thing and the people holding the Nazi symbols are actually the most tolerant Eastern Europeans!

      Centrists somehow failing to find a center position between letting Ukraine declare the 4th Reich and murdering every single Ukrainian.

      If the US were attacked by Russia and the US had to scramble together a defense force, it would no doubt include neo Nazis and KKK.

        also no it wouldn't the US military would not want unreliable political militias to be handed heavy weaponry. Disaster waiting to happen. The "professional" military has plenty of money and material and would just conscript soliders if they needed more.

        The fact that these redditors are so cool with the idea of integrating literal Nazi militias into the armed forces says it all :reddit-logo:

          Yeah, the US military probably wouldn't turn away recruits with a history in the KKK or Neo-nazi org in a time of war, but it almost certainly wouldn't create the 1488th KKK Battalion Combat Group.

      he question is do you allow them to set policy and path for your nation

        I don’t think Ukraine has any intention of this. Russia seems to be on that path though.

        The country that actively cracks down on neonazis is on the path to Nazism, whereas the country that let's part of its military fly SS flags has no intention of allowing the Nazis in power.

        Makes sense.

    From that thread

    to be fair, most democracies in the world have neo nazi groups

    and in the event of another country invading them would most probably join the fight with their little flags

    Amazing, delivered straight without a second thought about their beliefs or values. No critical thinking abilities whatsoever.

      Ahh so that's why the "international community" won't recognize Cuba and Venezuela as democracies. Not enough Nazis.

      :reddit-logo: and knowing nothing, name a more iconic duo. Historically, the nazis joined the fight on the side of the invaders in most cases. Ukraine is only an exception to this because the fascists there have already sold their country out to foreign powers in 2014.

    Zelensky's gonna have get on the bad side of a lot of countries when he ends up having to kill a portion of his own troops.

      I think it's much more likely that the far-right will coup Zelensky and he West will be all shocked Pikachu faces.

      If Ukraine wins (unlikely) the far right will have gained prestige and influence as Frontline fighters. If Ukraine loses, the far right will create another stab in the back legend and point it squarely at the Jewish president.

      For some reason it's still visible for me in Hexbear even though the original post got deleted for exposing Ukrainian Nazism having obvious MS paint alternations.

          I've seen both Swastikas and 4chan kekistan flags suggested as to what it might be.

          Possibly the blurrer just didn't know what the totenkopf was?
