Lmao holy fuck literally WHY would you put that symbol? I mean, it's not 1 to 1 but Jesus fuck guys we already have a epidemic of fucking Black Sun patches! Would it have been that hard to just use the actual insignia of the country?

Pure hatred for Russia I'm guessing. What would piss off a Russian more than Nazi shit?

 

[Zachowon]

Because they can?
Because unlike the West Eastern Europe doesn't seem to actually care about being called Nazis

It's the fucking Direwangler Brigade dude. As in, the SS brigade led by a alchoolic rapist, the brigade that literally gave birth to the "jews made into soap" Holocaust meme because they literally killed a jewish girl and dumped her body in lye.

I cannot concieve why anyone would associate with them. Even if you are a Nazi you would want at least a SS brigade that isn't just Warcrime Speedrun, like I don't know the actual Ukranian SS? At this point I suspect it might be a sneak parody but who even knows in the current clown world.

Da, comrades!

 

[Sobek]

When you are so far on the left anyone right of center looks like the far right.

 

[prinCZess]

It's pretty clearly not the same emblem. Dirlewanger emblem is a pair of the stick handgrenades the krauts used, the one in the cartoon is crossed...maces or command batons. Which just so happen to be the thing Ukraine uses to denote generals in their military.

Spoiler

And the cursory wiki-rummaging gives us:

Also, the new system of military insignia makes possible to introduce new ranks, such as brigade general and new types of sergeant. New straps of generals have crossed maces (bulawas), which are kleinods (regalia) of Hetman, colonel and Otaman of the Host.

Folks really are seeing nazis in every piece of Ukrainian toast at this point.

 

[SchrodingersWehraboo]

Oh well, I was wrong. Not like they aren't accidentally posting more than enough media of troops with patches that make you go hmmmm.

And the commie flags don't make you go Hmmm either?

Unblocking you just to say that if you’re trying to equalize the Nazi influence in the AFU with one or two guys rocking Soviet flags in Russia and the DPR then well, you probably know that’s false equivalency considering that you’re army intel. USA is well aware of the monarchist/3p groups involved with activisik in the breakaway republics, that’s why they put the Russian Imperial movement on the terror watchlist.
And you wanna talk about commies? Well antifa groups are 100% on Ukraine’s side.

Uh...
It isn't just a few...
We have seen numerous commie flags flying since the war started.
But yes, obviously they arnt reliving the Soviet Union

A whole Nazi division of shitfaces who've tortured Russian POWs in the Donbass Independence War vs a few guys who decided to bust out their great-grandfather's Soviet battle flags because Putin said it was a denazification operation.

How tinted are your glasses?

Russian communists call for anti-fascist front against ‘Nato-led nazification of Ukraine'’

morningstaronline.co.uk

UK communist site talking about THE REVOLUTION quotes Russian communists being very much against Ukraine and generally sharing that view.

What do Russia, Antifa and Black Lives Matter have in common?

During the past several years, the Atlantic Council has been running reports on how Russian cyberwarfare and disinformation have been working overtime to undermine Western democracies in general, and Ukraine in particular. While Ukraine has been the target of Moscow’s attention, recently its...

Russia/Ukraine fighting highlights divisions in far-left – Center for Security Policy

TL;DR more anarchist leaning antifa groups and parts of the left support Ukraine or say both sides are fascists, more traditionally communist and pro-CCP kinds of far left support Russia.

Hey, Putin didn't freeze their bank accounts. And he doesn't shove woke sludge down my throat.

I've considered Crimea as the only viable option due to the good weather.

I didn't leave an icy hellhole only to go to another.

DPR/LPR are also options.

Russell Bentley, Graham Philip and Patrick Lancaster seem to be doing very well over there as independent journalists.

Also, the cost of living in Russia is much lower compared to Canada.

And I'm just going to live there as an expat. Their politics don't matter to me.

Therefore your point is invalid.

He arrests people and throws the key away for protesting.
You can't use your bank account in Russian prison I don't think

Communists are every bit as bad as Fascists, if not worse. They have a higher body count, too.
