They’re saying in the comments that his tattoos are “Nordic in nature” or “Ancient Slavic pagan symbols”.

I just can’t anymore, I thought I’d seen it all, but now the libs are worshiping literal Neo-Nazis on the frontpage of Reddit.

      Obviously he’s just wearing that uniform to demonstrate his love for Nordic/Pagan culture. /s

        Honestly, I’d be unsurprised if a lot of neofascists appropriate neopaganism simply for nationalistic reasons and not because they take it seriously.

        Unfortunately I can’t access the post now, but basically there was a neopagan on Reddit who theologically explained to me how Norse paganism actually had a neutral or positive stance on phenomena that neofascists despise, such as interracial relationships. Most (if not all) white neofascists have a piss‐poor understanding of the lore and just assume that European paganism must have been good because it was European and less Semitic than Christianity.

          Exactly. None of those “neo-pagan” nazis actually do believe, it’s all contrarianism after they read about Nietzsche shitting on christianity. A lot of them returns to “deus vult” nonsense as their herd move on through racist dogwhistles.

          Hitler himself was essentially a Neo-Pagan and wished to start a new Hitlerite religion.

    Oh no! The terminally online lib lurkers are sad to see that their Wholesome Chungus 100 Slava Ukraini soldiers are literal proud Neo Nazis 😢

    I wonder who created this symbol! I bet it’s an ancient and mystical symbol! Oops! It’s was created by a Neo-Nazi in the 90’s.

      So during or after the destruction of the Soviet Union… interesting coincidence.

        Speaking from personal knowledge and family stories, Neo-Nazis took off after the fall of the Soviet Union. The Soviets had no toleration for it, and for example if you chose to walk around with a Nazi flag saying “Hell Hitler” anywhere in the Union, you would probably be beaten to death by everyone around you before the police even showed up.

        Everyone lost someone in the war, not to mention the Holocaust.

        A lot of groups were sponsored by American or Weatern European hate groups in order to prop up support and find new members. The internet was also a horrific catalyst for a lot of Nazi thought.

        A lot of exiled degenerates who defected to the Nazis came back or were rehabilitated and started spewing their thought.

      The worst part is that they apparently don’t need to. They can show open and proud neo-nazis and the western libs will still insist that “Russia are the real nazis.” every time.

        Considering that libs were salivating at the thought that Russians would start dying like flies of various diseases, hunger and etc if they sanction Russia as hard as they could, even before the SMO, they had become nazis long time ago.

      They learned that they can be lazy and the Libs would still slurp it up because they’re just roaring for any reason to be racist to an outgroup.

      Why put in the effort if you’ll get the same result doing less?

    Do they highlight soldiers there every day? Surely they could find one less visibly fascist? Or they just really don’t want to.

        I’ve been thinking about that. I’m not sure if it is because the fascists want to be seen, and so always pick themselves for photo ops, or if the fascists have sent all the non fascists (conscripts etc.) out as cannon fodder while trying to keep their own safe well behind the front lines.

          They probably want to become martyrs or be able to kill as many subhuman untermesch as possible, which gets them out in front of cameras, and killed more often.

          The most terrifying soldiers are the ones who are stupid and brave.

      They highlight soldiers near daily. They’ve had several Nazi “incidents” before.

          Mosty blaming Lenin for the Holodomor and your basic anti-commie propaganda trash. It’s pretty toxic, I wouldn’t recommend venturing there, I only did because I got bored.

      “Yes this is a Nazi but the correct way to deal with Nazis is to turn them into battle hardened soldiers, give them an endless supply of weaponry and then when they’ve won a peer conflict, appeal to their sense of reason and humanity.”

      And to be fair, this kind of rehabilitation has ‘worked’ before; once they’re offered cushy positions in the west in the fight against progress.

        And since then NATO killed more people than 3rd reich did. Such rehabilitation.

        Change the word Nazi to “Islamic fundamentalists” and you also get exactly what the US did with the Mujahideen.
