ohh.

guess that clears it up.

Qusdahl feels so much better now!

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wolfsange ... _symbolism
After World War II, public exhibition of the Wolfsangel symbol became illegal in Germany if it was connected with Neo-Nazi groups.[14][15] On August 9, 2018, Germany lifted the ban on the usage of swastikas and other Nazi symbols in video games. "Through the change in the interpretation of the law, games that critically look at current affairs can for the first time be given a USK age rating," USK managing director Elisabeth Secker told CTV. "This has long been the case for films and with regards to the freedom of the arts, this is now rightly also the case with computer and videogames."[16][17]

Outside of Germany, the Wolfsangel symbol has been used by some Neo-Nazi organizations such as in the United States where the Aryan Nations organization uses a white Wolfsangel-like symbol with a sword replacing the cross-bar in its logo.[18] The US-based Anti-Defamation League (ADL) database lists the symbol as a hate symbol and a neo-Nazi symbol.[3][6]

Far-right movements in Ukraine like the Social-National Party of Ukraine,[19][20][21] Social-National Assembly,[22] and Azov Battalion[23][24][25][26] have used a similar symbol (but with an elongated centre bar and the Z being rotated but untypically not reversed) for their political slogan Ідея Нації (Ukrainian for "National Idea", where the symbol is a composite of the "N" and the "I"); they deny any connection or attempt to draw a parallel with Nazism.[27]

In 2020, there was a brief trend of Generation Z TikTok users tattooing a "Generation Ƶ" symbol on the arm as "a symbol of unity in our generation but also as a sign of rebellion" (in the manner of the 15th-century peasant's revolts). The originator of the trend later renounced it when the use of the symbol by the Nazis was brought to her attention.[3]

Pushing a "look how sweet and nice these people are" message out to women ahead of the Nov midterms for them to keep in mind as they hopefully vote for US politicians who want to support the Ukrainians.

"With more than 150 days having passed since Russian President Vladimir Putin's fighters entered neighboring Ukraine, the couple posed for the U.S. edition of the fashion bible in a series of shots taken by famed photographer Annie Leibovitz."

this may have more to do with how social media algorithms cater to individual users, buuut

does anyone else's twitter feed keep showing "#ZelenskyWarCriminal" as a trending hashtag?

Nope, that would just be you based on your google, twitter and other social media activity.

I reckon.

The tags are usually used by like some international type who tweets in like Arabic or something so I don’t even know.

But it generally centers around allegations of actual war crimes against civilians by Ukrainian forces (I know I know, Russian propaganda), as well as the general allegation Zelensky and other Ukrainian officials are feathering their own nests with all cash were blindly throwing their way.

"Inflation is nothing, COVID is nothing… Who is thinking about masks and COVID? Who is thinking about inflation? These things are secondary…
This seems like foolish rhetoric.

I mean, does Zelensky REALLY think he’s gonna get Mericans to care more about Ukraine than they do about themselves?

There are very few people I care about "more" than myself. Kids. Wife. Parents. That's it.
