    In some parts of Europe you literally get arrested for that. And i don’t mean just in Banderastan.

    Also i’ve seen people with Z’s on their cars get their windows smashed and police let it happen.

    I had one on my car for a while. DPR flag still in front of the house. No issues. Although I guess my country is more imperial periphery

    Hopefully they aren’t in Germany, wearing that specific letter of the alphabet is a hate speech crime in some states.

        Some German state law enforcement agencies and/or prosecutors have interpreted part of the law banning hate speech to include “Z”, especially in the context of Russian flags but not exclusively. People have gotten notices of criminal charges for “displaying support for wars of aggression and/or genocide” or something like that, basically just by showing a Z in public or even on social media.

        Aside from general Russophobia/anti-anti-fascism and the ramping up of pro-war US/NATO propaganda I can’t find an explanation. I guess it’s expedient for the state to outlaw any dissenting speech when public opinion backs them, just as Germany already banned RT in November or December 2021 for totally legitimate legal reasons.

          Damn, they must charge a lot of Americans under that law for displaying the Stars and Stripes. All those American soldiers stationed in Germany must worry about it constantly.

    I wonder how long that person will last until some nazi cucks with baseball bats or a random cop will smash their skull.

      well, if anyone wants to smash you because of it, shooting them would be self defense, wouldn’t it?

        If you’re talking about American courts, that defense only works if you’re a fascist. A leftist will be summarily executed by the police.

            Not really, there’s less Zposting but it’s not completely gone. There was a thread recently about the current state of the war.

            After the capitulation to reddit almost all not only zposts (and comments) but also general posts about Ukraine war got deleted, so i assume bans were distributed too. And the crowd cheered…

                It’s not banned yet, just quarantined. And for some weird reason mod of the sub seem to have misconception that they will get unquarantined or at least not banned if they conform to the hivemind in this particular question. Works for me actually, all the hopeless american exceptionalists and clerical apologists are there and not here (yet).

                  That’s the way I see it lol. The people who haven’t discovered Lemmygrad are still wondering Reddit hopelessly searching for Radicals. Best case scenario: they don’t find any and find us instead. Worst case scenario: They find “Radicals” on Reddit but they’re just NazBols or Anarchists

    It was a white z on a black background so it was clearly the Russian Z

            To the point where an official NATO tweet of Ukrainian soldiers showed a Nazi patch. Yeah they deleted that one real quick, but you know that saying about what goes on the internet…

          well, no, but yes. the western ukrainian part is extremely rightwing and the historic gangs that are division galicia, nachtigall and sonderbrigade dirlewanger hid in the new world (OPERATION PAPERCLIP) when the soviet hammer reigned down on the nazi. now they are back with US help and drug money. still the same geopolitical headfuck, same battle routes, same halford-mackinder players in the background. it’s a full on repetition, including the “post-white army defeat” extremists of the deathsquads going to europe to lobby and bribe for a military campaign against russia. happened in 20s and 30s and the more azov nazi handlers we take up without vetting&clearing, the more probable it becomes that 30 years down the line Europe will start a mass scale war against russia as a proxy for US/UK/Quatari/Saudi/Israeli corporate interest

          I’d say this, I don’t know the entire situation, but the Ukrainian government allowed Nazi groups to join the official military ranks. Not all of them are Nazis, but lets just say if you wear the Black Sun and the Wolfsangel or other Nazi paraphernalia, then you are WAY too comfortable with Fascist aesthetics and undertones to deny it outright, especially when you are fighting alongside guys w/ Nazi tattoos

      Seeing the discourse here I’d say almost everybody is anti-Nazi and a bit less would still be supporting Russia in this conflict even without the Nazi problem because of NATO
