Specifically the kolovrat. I said I wouldn't presume somebody is a Nazi for wearing one. The Nazis themselves never used it afaik.

it looks an awful lot like two intersecting swastikas

much like with making bandera the father of the nation when they really didn't have to, specifically choosing to use the symbol that looks like an off-brand swastika doesn't seem like it's just meant as some harmless cultural heritage thingy

I doubt the patch was produced innocently but my position is that in the absence of any other evidence, for which I looked, that the woman in question wearing one might not be a nazi and may have been given it. It may have been a unit patch. It may have been because she is a Nazi though. IDK. I'll drop it however.

why not a sunflower? why not I dunno some dumb ukranian cloth pattern like they do with their flower girls or whatever, nope it’s gotta be Nazi and it’s gotta be something from those dumb Scandinavians and Germans.

also if that lady wore the ISIS flag she wouldn’t be able to get away with saying ‘it’s the key seal of the prophet Muhammad’ if she got it from an armed Islamist no one except for an idiot would believe her.

I thought the kolovrat was used more by the Russian reactionaries than the Ukrainian ones? The kolovrat harkens back to Slavic paganism, while the runes and black suns are for the Norse enthusiasts of Azov and their ilk.

Bursting with flavor

I dated a girl whose brother was in jail and he wrote to ask her for info on "nordic runes" so we just assumed he was trying to join some kind of white supremacy rune gang. she didn't send him the rune book and we sent him a bunch of sci fi stuff (jack vance) instead. he said reading Emphyrio in jail changed his life

fits my needs

I'm only up to Finland Station in Revolutions so far but it's insane how fast they took over after being fringe exile terrorists. Obviously they had a lot of help from other people loving up and leaving a massive power vacuum, but it's still a remarkably fast turnaround.

Lenin was one of the best posters ever which helped i think

Lenin spent 30 years of his life planning and working towards that very moment it’s because he was ready and had all his pieces set that he managed to take power so fast, he knew what to do and who he was up against and acted accordingly.

he was also a gigantic poster and out argued everyone he met

he almost didn’t get his way and it took like an all night meltdown to convince the Bolsheviks to try iirc
