i have a feeling a lot of slavic nazis start off as dipshit lumpen who see a symbol and say "bro that looks fucken sikc imma get that tatted on me" without any historical context or knowledge, and then the ideology comes from associating with others who are into similar symbols . i don't say this to be generous or to give them a free pass. I just don't see how else thousands of young men can end up rooting for a historical movement that literally saw them as untermensch.
that's also how you end up with incoherent nazbol shit like this
The linked photo says to me "I don't care what you believe, I just want Russia to be strong."
Awful taste, but pretty amazing execution.
this is the post-soviet version of palingenetic ultranationalism. nostalgic idolization of the USSR as a "great power" and a "golden age" without any understanding of what made it greater than any other state that ever existed on Russian soil. Zero understanding of the explicitly anti-racist, anti-nationalist framework that enabled a multi-ethnic nation like that to thrive, no regard for the alternative economic system that made it the only state on that land to ever treat its citizens with the dignity human beings deserve. just "we were STRONK under Stalin bc great man theory!!!!"
Isn't that nazi looking symbol actually just a pagan slavic symbol?
No idea about the ukraine emblem, is that nazi-ish too?

it is but it's primarily used by neo-nazis these days. It's called kolovrat btw

it's a ukrainian coat of arms which originated from the rurik dynasty. So it's not inherently a nazi symbol

sad, is it still pan-slavic at least?
The Ukraine trident emblem is not generally considered Nazi. However nazi groups use it or some variation of it.
i think the explicitly fascist version has a sword in the middle, but the nazis use the normal variant as well
Any sufficiently pagan symbol can be indistinguishable from a fash symbol.
For example, with the macuahuitl, you can never be too sure if their extolment and portrayal is part of a decolonizing approach, or if it’s being used as an indigenista fasces stand-in in a video about the Mexican army.
the word above the trident symbol is "Natasha". Not sure if that means anything or is just a name.
Someone needs to put this pic on :reddit-logo:
Just to see how many lib brains explode.
