    theres a big ukrainian community in my city and one day i saw this black and white poster with skulls and ukrainian writing. my heart dropped to my ass thinking theyre really getting this bold (ive been racially harassed by them before) so i translated the poster and it was just a tattoo parlor, but really theyre not good with avoiding fascist imagery in innocent contexts or not and libs try to defend it. white europeans shouldnt use this type of imagery in the 21st century period. do they really think ”blood and soil” applies just to invaders of ukraine and not the racial minorities IN ukraine

      That is easily resolved by declaring all minorities as invaders.

      Anyway, there’s little point in confronting Nazi supporters with their logical inconsistencies. They know they support Nazis, even though they deny it. They’re not going to stop supporting Nazis because you pointed out an error in their logic. They simply have to be exposed as Nazi supporters to the world, taking away their plausible deniability.

    Adding to the context that you already mentioned, here is the photo of the drone striker with the Nazi Eagle flag:

    They don’t even bother hiding it or blurring it anymore.

    Also the OUN did not oppose the nazis. Bandera got VIP treatment in the KZ Sachsenhausen - house for himself and a personal slave. When the UPA “totally went against the nazis”, they still were supplied with arms and ammunition via airdrops by the Luftwaffe for as long as possible.

    They also were fighting the axis troops so hard that most of their forces retreated with the Wehrmacht. Bandera himself meeting his karma in Munich. Not Munich, Ukraine (if it exists). Munich, the capital of Bavaria in Germany.

      They don’t know about it and if you inform them about it up they’ll accuse you of using Russian propaganda which they see as meaning something is entirely false. They just deny it completely and assume you believe in something wrong.

      Unfalsiable othedoxy.

    Ukrainian media was talking about a women who died was part of the Ukrainian unit, The 10th Mountain Assault Brigade “Edelweiss”. Edelweiss is a flower that is German for noble white and there is a Nazi unit called 1st Mountain Division (Wehrmacht) which uses the Edelweiss as a Identification symbol.
