The DW article make no mention of the phrase Slava Ukraini being the Ukrainian equivalent of Sieg Heil.

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.

dw is correct.

DW:

‘Glory to Ukraine’ army chant invokes nationalist past

… wut?

TIL DW is “misinformation”.

However it was in the 1930s when it really took hold, becoming a rallying cry for the Organization of Ukrainian Nationalists (OUN), explained Oleksandr Zaitsev, a historian from the Ukrainian Catholic University in Lviv.

The Nazis also didn’t invent the “Heil!” exclamation or the roman salute. It’s still not ok to do either of these things. Not to mention the Swastika.

Stepen Bandera wasn’t the one who made the phrase popular. […] Check your OWN LINK if you want proof.

Ok, I “checked” my own link:

However it was in the 1930s when it really took hold, becoming a rallying cry for the Organization of Ukrainian Nationalists (OUN), explained Oleksandr Zaitsev, a historian from the Ukrainian Catholic University in Lviv.

So you’re claiming that Stepan Bandera wasn’t a Nazi? O.o

TIL that Wikipedia is russian:

You know goddamn well that the salute was made popular by Stepan Bandera and his fascists.

Or are you trying to tell me that Elon Musk was quoting Jacques-Louis David’s painting at Trumps inauguration, next?
