Wagner boss Prigozhin killed in plane crash in Russia(www.bbc.co.uk)

And no you don’t have to actually talk to them. Plenty of information out there. If you want armed right-wingers to worry about in Ukraine then that’d be Right Sector.

If Nazis advertise with free pudding does that make all pudding eaters Nazis?

this isn’t tough stuff. stop defending nazis.

You’re trying very hard to hold up a connection which is tenable at best. Also, stop fucking insulting people as Nazis for disagreeing with you. Have I expressed anything but disagreement with Nazis here, anywhere? I haven’t for my whole fucking life. Touch grass.

I never called anyone disagreeing with me a Nazi. It’s worth noting though that a moderator of this very website called you a Nazi as their reason for removing your post equating the swastika and the unexpounded upon Germanic culture the Nazis appropriated.

Azov marches under a Nazi banner. We both know it’s a Nazi banner because we agreed it was chosen to dogwhistle to nazis. If someone marches under a Nazi banner, would you say they’re a Nazi? If not, what if they march under a Nazi banner for a state that banned all communist parties?

Azov is nazis. Stop defending nazis.

You’re saying I’m defending them. To me that is no different than calling me one, which is a direct and severe insult. I mean I’m German I’m used to foreigners (especially Americans) throwing the term around with abandon, thereby trivialising it so I’m not really taking it personally but that still doesn’t make it right for you to do. Or Antifa praxis: You’re blunting a weapon.

Which website? I see nothing being removed here on my end. I also didn’t equate the Swastika to anything, the thing I did was contrast the Wolfsangel to the Swastika. Explained why they’re different.

Oh, just noticed, back to the actual Azov insignia: This is the original thing. When Azov became National Gurad it was replaced with this one. Notice what’s missing? The pretty much only symbol that is 150% unambiguously Nazi, as in invented by them, not appropriated, not used elsewhere: The black sun. I was also incorrect previously, the Wolfsangel isn’t Svoboda’s Wolfsangel any more, the design differs.

Azov is nazis.

You still haven’t given an argument for that but “they use a symbol that also the Nazis used”. They also eat bread, that’s also a thing the Nazis did. To accuse someone of being a Nazi is an allegation which needs a bit more care than semiotic first impressions.

People can also wear Lonsdale without being Nazis. Even showing the “nsda” with an unzippered jacket. Shit tends to be complicated.

If you can actually provide a solid argument that Azov is Nazis I’ll change my mind immediately.

okay, here’s a solid argument: you can’t display their banner in your home country because it’s a nazi symbol.

you just tried to equate using a symbol with its own ADL page in a right wing nationalist millitia with eating bread.

do you see the absurdity of your position here?
