Do literally ALL Ukrainian soldiers wear fascist imagery? (hexbear.net)

I’m not on Twitter, so I get my news elsewhere, but most of the actual pictures I see are from here. So is there some kind of bias where only the fascist imagery gets posted here in the the dunk tank? Or do the libs scrolling through Ukrainian posts on Twitter literally see and ignore fascist imagery on every single post? Like, if they see 1000 Ukrainian soldiers, will they see 1000 fascist symbols?

some of those patches are close but not actually nazi

Uh-huh. How are you determining that a patch that looks very similar to a Nazi one actually isn't? Is it just ”well ackshually, eagles were used by Germany before WWII and the swastika is an ancient Buddhist symbol”?

we are killing each other as fast as possible and your worried about a patch

If there are Nazis involved, I personally would like to see them die as fast as possible.

Read my reply many of those patches share an eagle as symbolism but last I checked the Ukrainian trident wasn’t nazi.

If eagles are nazi symbols then I must have gotten some of those bad textbooks in school.

but last I checked the Ukrainian trident wasn’t nazi

The symbol was famously used by the guys who were literally out just massacring Jews and Poles.

So, yes, the Ukrainian nationalist trident is a fascist symbol.

Different symbol look at the coat of arms for the Ukrainian trident.
