What’s the three fingers salute? Not familiar with this one
I knew it was a Serbian monarchist salute, AFAIK it meant something along the line of god, motherland and tzar. Don’t know why Ukrainian nazis are using it tho
Yes, this is supposedly ‘‘Serbian salute’’, but idk where it comes from, it seems sus.
Also for @frippa@lemmy.ml
That’t the other three finger salute.
Serbian is this one, note different fingers are used. It’s also a very common blessing gesture in general christianity.
Yes, that’s the one
thx
Ukrainian fascist political party Svoboda uses it as part of their iconography
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Svoboda_(political_party)
mini-rant only tangentially related
I’ll never forget the one and only time I went for a date with a Ukrainian woman living in Netherlands back in 2020. I saw in her house the Tryzub icon and blue and yellow everywhere (not to mention the unkempt house itself) and I felt my heartbeat rising from the overwhelming picture.
So I asked her about the Svoboda party, it’s iconography (I had incidentally confused the Tryzub for the 3-finger Svoboda icon), as well as Bandera and the history of Nazi collaboration and the Maidan coup. Of course I was told “it is all Russian propaganda, there’s no Nazis in Ukraine, the Soviet Russians r*ped us, Holodomor, a gorillian dead, you must love Putin, etc.”
Yes those were direct quotes from her minus the gorillian part, she used a smaller number. As you can imagine, the date fizzled out immediately after that!
I swear all anti-communists are either parrots, NPCs, or broken records
I think there was some other nazi battalion that used it as its symbol
I saw it often for some blatant banderists from Spain who tried to get volunteers, weapons and went to fight in the karpatian sich.
Likely a very far-right symbol
I know they took it from Hunger Games, whatever (it’s still cringe as fuck), but that’s also how Germans make the 3 instead of using your thumb, index and middle finger, like Anglos do, so I don’t know…
i thought they took it from volodymyr’s trident
So this is actually the opposite from my understanding. Westerners, at least in the US, use the pointer, index, and ring. Germans, along with French and Italians, more commonly used the thumb method.
Yeah the order goes: pointer, middle, ring, pinky, thumb. I’ve never seen it any other way here in the states.
Did that seriously come from the Hunger Games?? My god, western propagandists get all their ideas from kids books I swear.
I wouldn’t be surprised, note that wiki article cites various usages of that salute which all date after the Hunger Games movie came out in 2012, and with how the exact same people from CIA and their facades seems to train most of those people .
It’s also a logo of the UA far right party Svoboda making it more relevant in context of Ukraine, but in this case i’m not 100% sure, it seems to be older, but all photos of this logo i seen with clear date are from the 2012 or later…
Also, yes, western propagandists do get their ideas from popular culture in general, because references to what people know are popular are working way to anchor the message in people’s heads. This explains the gigantic effort with which USA performs the cultural invasion of entire world, it makes their propaganda job way easier.
