I’m not on Twitter, so I get my news elsewhere, but most of the actual pictures I see are from here. So is there some kind of bias where only the fascist imagery gets posted here in the the dunk tank? Or do the libs scrolling through Ukrainian posts on Twitter literally see and ignore fascist imagery on every single post? Like, if they see 1000 Ukrainian soldiers, will they see 1000 fascist symbols?

If you don’t already have the capstone on your bad apples dunk:

A few bad apples don’t ruin the whole bunch, they ruin the barrel.

Apples release a gas as they ripen and eventually spoil that makes all the other apples ripen and spoil faster. So obviously a bad apple will make all the apples you put in a barrel with it spoil too.

But the barrel is made of porous wood, so the apple spoiling gas gets in the barrel and even after you empty the old spoiled apples, hose it out and fill it back up it’s gonna spoil the good apples you put in there.

A few bad apple don’t just spoil the ones they’re packed in with, they spoil the whole barrel.

A few bad apples don’t just ruin the police department, they ruin the institution!

A few Nazis don’t ruin the soldiers they’re stationed with, they ruin the army!

“Don’t let a few bad apples spoil the whole bunch” means get the fuck rid of those bad apples asap.

E: the apple spoiling gas is called ethylene.

The vietnamese did not embrace nazis when they fought off the american invaders. The hatians did not become nazis when they cast off the yoke of slavery. Cuba did not become nazis by overthrowing the dictator batista. You are a dip shit.

If everyone in the West was sending weapons to the Taliban then that might have been an interesting comparison. But no one does that (anymore).

I have seen the iron eagle carrying the trident of Ukraine

Ya see, to me, that doesn’t exactly vouch for the liberal nature of Ukrainian Nationalism so much as the opposite.

media promotes controversial material

the media has been deepthroating Western and particularly Ukrainian boots ever since the war began. you would need the strongest solvent on the planet to remove the superglue that binds the average journalist’s tongue to the leather of a Ukrainian jackboot. if even they can’t convincingly depict Ukrainian soldiers as not being coated head-to-toe in imagery that celebrates the fucking Holocaust, then there’s a really big problem in Ukraine.

“we are killing each other as fast as possible and your worried about a patch?”

yes, actually, I am worried that many, many Ukrainian soldiers knowingly use fascist imagery in a war that began in 2014 partially over the rights of the Donbass people. that is, in fact, a rather pertinent issue here

Bruv they can’t keep fash symbols out of pictures of Zelensky with soldiers.

Yeah, we’re worried about a patch, because when this conflict ends one way or another Ukraine is going to be full of angry nazis with military experience and vast amounts of weaponry and that’s going to be very bad for everyone.

Please produce one of those pictures.

How do you think it will be bad? They are having a hard time fighting the Russians who are using barely trained conscripts and equipment pulled from museums.

The most advanced things on that battle field are consumer drones and weapon systems that are parts and consumables reliant from western countries.

these are easy as fuck to find. You have to be trying to avoid them if you’re this deep and still incredulous.

Did you also miss the time that NATO tweeted out a photo of a ukrainian soldier wearing a black sun for international women’s day?

Not all of these included Zelensky (some do!) but there’s also a bonus Zelensky video clip in here too you should probably see. Either way, a person has got to be fucking willfully blind not to see that Nazism is endemic to Ukrainian military and leadership (and culture now too, because of the former two).

Yeah typically the media would go out of their way to not portray the nation we’re pumping full of weapons as absolutely covered in nazis, but apparently they’re so common we get to see the black sun on MSNBC while cheering on the freedom boys

The media absolutely covers that shit up too. It’s just so prevalent that it still slips out frequently.

some of those patches are close but not actually nazi

Uh-huh. How are you determining that a patch that looks very similar to a Nazi one actually isn’t? Is it just ”well ackshually, eagles were used by Germany before WWII and the swastika is an ancient Buddhist symbol”?

we are killing each other as fast as possible and your worried about a patch

If there are Nazis involved, I personally would like to see them die as fast as possible.

Read my reply many of those patches share an eagle as symbolism but last I checked the Ukrainian trident wasn’t nazi.

If eagles are nazi symbols then I must have gotten some of those bad textbooks in school.

Imagine deliberately playing naïve to run defence for Nazis because it suits US geopolitical interests. Next you’ll tell us about how these soldiers are just wearing a Buddhist peace symbol.

The symbol was famously used by the guys who were literally out just massacring Jews and Poles.

So, yes, the Ukrainian nationalist trident is a fascist symbol.

To be fair, the only other group I know who uses an eagle as a symbol is the US. Wait, never mind, they’re Nazis too, sorry…
