IrishTitansFan Posted April 26, 2023 Report Share Posted April 26, 2023 Obviously a small note and pretty irrelevant compared to what the Russians are doing, but the Ukrainians need to cut this shit out. Using the Death In June symbol so often is a disgrace Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The little symbol on the patch is from Death in June the band, the logo is directly taken from an SS logo and they’re well known Nazi supporters, it’s shown up a few times This along with the SS symbol Zelenskyy bodyguard was wearing is disappointing, I hope they stop using them symbols tgo 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

How is it Russian propaganda if his bodyguard is actually wearing an SS patch? Im a big fan of Zelensky btw and I’m sure he’s not invlovled but I’d like if they cut stuff out Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

They don't see it as an SS patch. They wear it for other reasons and the propaganda finds a connection that isn't really there to make people believe a more sinister connection.

Yeah I had thought that but it’s a few times now and it would seem strange for Ukrainians to be in to an old alt right UK folk band I think they’re probably poking fun at the Nazis plan to take Russia Regardless, I think they should probably just put out an order to cut it out. Whether intentional or not, sporting Nazi symbolism isn’t going to help their cause and is in poor taste imo MadMax, and IsntLifeFunny 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

OK but don’t you think they should easily avoid that by not wearing SS patches? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not if that's not what they mean to them. And if they tried, the propaganda would just find something else. Focus on the substance. This is noise.

Whether intentional or not, sporting Nazi symbolism isn’t going to help their cause and is in poor taste imo Fully agree, but as you and I have both noted I highly doubt the majority sporting it have any understanding other than the very open appeal to 'Death in June'. If it's tied to Nazism then it needs to be handled from the top down to be removed. reo 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
