    Funny enough, I consider cryptofascism as a few degrees worse than just oligarchic capitalism; and ever since I saw all those Sonnenrads, Wolfsengels, and Swastikas on a bunch of slavic europeans(read: foreign crackers), I haven’t been able to be convinced they’re not a bunch of nazis.

    Are Amerikan exceptionalists about to try and tell me that Russia edited those insignias on in post? That they’ve got a bunch of little TMZ-assed image editors sitting in the back of the Kremlin, flawlessly image-editing hundreds, maybe thousands of photos, nullifying their original sources, and pushing out spin propaganda with the edits?

      Russian troops captured them and tattooed swastikas on their chests and faces also. I don’t know why they released them, seems like a dumb move strategically but who can explain the mind of Russians except for race scientists on Twitter and reddit.

      No, they’ll you that Russian army has those too, and even more! And if you ask for proof, you’ll be called a bot and shown that image of Prigozhin in a suspicious uniform (it’s always the same picture)

        someone did this to me. It wasn’t even about Russia. I said something about the head of Nato saying “war is peace”. They dug through my history and found some other thing I said to attack me for. Something something “Ukraine is full of Nazis and everyone knew it up until the war began”.

        They called me pro Putin and all sorts of other shit before ending their rant about Russia’s secret Nazi problem.

        Its obviously displacement. And such a stupid argument I refused to acknowledge they brought it up.
