One was put in place by nato after they realized they couldn’t just carve it up
Oh my sides I dare you to say that in Russia. Bring a stopwatch so you can time how long it takes for you to arrive in a prison camp in Siberia. The FSB doesn’t suffer that kind of talk, “Russia is controlled by its enemies” (from their POV. In reality Russia has exactly one enemy: Itself).
this absolutely avoidable
Absolutely avoidable, true: Russia could stop being imperialist and, for a change, and harkening back to Lenin’s times, focus on developing itself.
Okay first things first, I never said Russia was controlled by its enemies, second:
This isn’t about my views on geopolitics, it’s about ohs you need to stop defending Nazis. Do that and we can have a wide ranging conversation about any number of topics.
I never defended Nazis, and you have yet to make an argument that doesn’t bog down to “I hate that /u/barsoap is right”. It’s you who’s trivialising the term.
What’s not a Nazi symbol, the wolfsangel (which you agreed was a Nazi symbol in the context of a right wing militia just a few days ago) or the black sun (whose removal you claimed was semiotic denazification enough)?
Instead of making me dredge up terrible things you’ve said, why not just stop defending Nazis?
Azov isn’t a Nazi org any more, thus the Wolfsangel is fine. Because there was more than semiotic denazification. You also can’t be publicly/actively racist or homophobic and whatever inside Azov Ukraine really cracked down on associated politics as a whole. As said: If Azov was still a Nazi org, why did so many Nazis leave?
And are you seriously asking whether the black sun is a Nazi symbol. The SS used it in an esoteric context, the only other use I’m aware of is use esotericists using it as a specific symbol of evil, “a nightmare that feels like paradise while you’re asleep”, but that’s an obscure corner of an obscure corner. Also, based as fuck.

But first, stop defending Nazis!

I’m not trivializing anything.
You are saying that azov battalion using the wolfsangel is not a nazi symbol.
It’s a defense of Nazis because you’re providing cover for the spread of their ideology. You need to stop defending Nazis.
Ok you’ve got me. Now show me where Azov is spreading Nazi ideology. Post-2015. I’m waiting.
What would you call wearing and waving a Nazi symbol?
Stop defending Nazis!
It’s not a Nazi symbol. Are Motorhead fans Nazis because they wear Iron Crosses?
