    I can’t wait until somebody responds with ‘Ben Norton isn’t a reliable source’, which would presumably have the power to magically erase that Command‐in‐Chief’s tweet and photo both from existence.

      I can show you some batshit insane far right Hindus in India, that would beat up or kill publicly young couples for PDA, or beef eating, or not chanting nationalistic religious slogans. Those terrorist organisations here currently have all the protection and funding thanks to a far right fascist BJP that is elected in Central government since 8 years. Backed by 2 big oligarchs and have a backbone of RSS, a Hindutva ideological organisation.

    stage 1: Clearly its just Russian disinformation!

    stage 2: Okay maybe its real, but you see, he’s just a Buddhist, no big deal.

    stage 3: Okay so he’s not a Buddhist, what’s so bad about being a Nazi anyway? Better than being an Orc Roosky!

      You really can’t reason with those people. It’s sad, but I just never engage with anyone who acts like that any more.

    I wonder what the real public opinion on all this is. Twitter and Reddit are completely comrpromised, so they don’t reflect reality. I have to assume most people are starting to realize that the Ukrainians forces are made up of Nazis.

      Most people I talk to are still anti-Russia in this but don’t care anymore. They are more worried about running out of money to pay for gas and food.

    They later showed a photo for damage control that made it clear this wasn’t actually a swastika, just a knot design that the low resolution did no favors.

    The higher res picture does, however, have a slightly more subtle swastika to the right of it.

    The fact that the Liberals will engage in disinformation, censorship, and militarism proves that they never follow their Liberal doctrine of honesty, free speech, and peace. Putin is more faithful to the Liberal ideology than the Liberals themselves with the freedom of Ukraine Fascists to sing Ukrainian nationalist song in Moscow and the 8 years attempts for peace talk; not only is the Communists more Liberal than Liberals, but the Populists in non-Western countries as well.

        There are more scary things in the world right now. Like Ukraine continuously calling for WW3 or nuking Russia or committing terrorist attacks. Or the Yemen and Somalia genocides/crises going on.
