Removed Comment … why do they end the tweet with the [Ukrainian equivalent of “Sieg Heil”](https://www.dw.com/en/new-glory-to-ukraine-army-chant-invokes-nationalist-past/a-45215538)? O.o by
reason: No
I’m a bit stumped about how obviously arbitrary that one is.
Context: it was about the phrase Slava Ukraini. You don’t rehabilitate Nazis. Not even if your country is invaded.
The DW article make no mention of the phrase Slava Ukraini being the Ukrainian equivalent of Sieg Heil. Those were entirely your own words. @spujb@lemmy.cafe is correct this is nothing but Russian propaganda talking points. Fuck off.
YDI all the way.
Ok, you might be technically correct, as this is not literally what’s said in the article. Guess hyperbole isn’t allowed on c/politicalmemes /s.
It was still a fascist salute and the article states in its friggin headline that the phrase and how Ukraine deals with its ultranationalist figures is problematic.
Definitely keep an eye on this kind of behavior. This community is a powerful resource for accountability but also it has the potential just to become “I want to lie and troll in a place where I will not be held accountable.” Sort of happened in a couple LBZ threads which I appreciate you removing, sorta happened with that Freeze Peach user and is definitely happening right here. Appreciate ya :)
