    Oh it’s only 1/5 Nazis! In that case they get to use the wolfsangel but they can’t use the totenkopf until they hit 1/8.

    This is absurd. They were Nazis, they used a symbol to appeal to Nazis. The name became synonymous with Nazis. Now the claim is they’re only 1/5 Nazis but it’s okay to use the same symbol and name.

    At this point what would convince you? If their marches included the Bellamy salute? If they brought the black sun back?

    You’re either so naive you can’t recognize the “new look, same great taste” strategy or you’re defending Nazis. I’ve been assuming the latter because the former is both sad and frightening.

      Unsupervised Nazis would do exactly that, yes. They don’t, so their number is either diluted to a degree where they don’t have cultural impact (Azov grew significantly after that 20% number) and/or the inerior ministry is keeping a lid on things by cracking down on Nazis who do Nazi things.

      And I mean this is what it’s about, isn’t it? Whether those Nazis do Nazi things. If they’re Nazis and don’t do Nazi things but instead risk their neck defending the country, why the fuck would anyone be opposed.

      In that vein:

      You’re either so naive you can’t recognize the “new look, same great taste” strategy or you’re defending Nazis.

      I think it’s you who’s protecting Nazis by insisting that they stay away from Russian soldiers. Why do you worry so much about their safety?

          No, they’re bad Nazis, obviously, as all Nazis are bad. But currently they’re engaged in an activity which is beneficial.

          Why are you protecting Nazis from dying at the front? Why are you so worried about their well-being? Stop protecting Nazis!

              I’m also in favour of sending the proud boys to the front in case of Canada invading the US. Really, any defensive situation.

              Making them fight defensive wars is the only sensible use a society can make of fascists. In more senses than one.
