    So it would be more like putting trans colors on a US challenge coin about attacking an even worse country, still pretty odd

      Russia has risen to a sacred fight to protect its sovereignty and security. We will always support the decisions of President Putin and the Russian leadership … and we will be together in the fight against imperialism.

      -Kim Jong Un

      The US has never been anti-imperialist. What is your westoid obsession with projecting your own sins on your enemies?

      If we just imagined there was a country (or section of a country) that the US taking over would actually make things better for . . . sure? But there hasn't been one of those since 1945, and even then the US made sure to minimize the good it did by giving amnesty to heinous war criminals.

        So yeah that's a good example, I could use the logo from like a US WWII regiment to make fun of some Nazis they killed, but I wouldn't put like black nationalist colors or LGBT colors on the logo when it was whites-only and discharged gay people

          That's a bit of a contortion since "Z" is not a regiment. Using some sort of black liberationist symbol in conjunction with a more general symbol from the US attack on the Nazis seems, well, a little odd since it was a segregated military as you say, but nonetheless had black soldiers triumphing over Nazis who would have them enslaved or murdered. I suppose Azov isn't likely being all that nice to trans people, but I've seen zero reporting on that topic.

            Yeah that's fair, it's hard to find an equivalent of the Z in other contexts, it's a weirdly used symbol
