The Times reported that the Azov battalion dropped its Nazi symbols. The article claimed that “Russian propaganda unfairly exploited” the topic. The Reddit forum found this to be hypocritical. Users wondered: what will happen to the Nazi tattoos of Azov people now?

Chevrons can be erased, but the tattoos cannot be washed off.

Ha ha, as if they would go around the trenches handing out new uniforms.

Yeah and the chevrons aren’t going anywhere either. They’re still strutting around with their Black Sun.

And other fun symbols like the Dead Head.

Plague! They write about Nazis, but they’re not the villains.

Neatly done, Goebbels would have been pleased.

Blimey, evil Russia is “exploiting” the poor…

They wore them openly for eight years, and then decided to take them off on the sly – otherwise their reputations would suffer. The Russians won’t fall for it: it’s all just to appease the West.

“Russian propaganda” is “inflating” a hundred percent truth.

Seems there are so many of these Nazis in Ukraine that it’s scary.

How many of these “Azov” people are even left alive, eh?

This is about the freshly formed unit in Kharkov. And if you google their photo shoot, one of the commanders clearly shows the “Dead Head” patch.

Google, too, how these captive rats fudge during interrogations, excusing themselves about their tattoos. Hilarious!

Judging by the way they’re scurrying around, the brown should be pants, not shirts.

They ripped off their chevrons and now they’re not Nazis anymore. What a blessing!

But thousands of pictures of them posing with swastikas remain…

If it wasn’t for the USSR, the Nazis would never have been defeated. Liberals have always been for the fascists. That’s how it works.

Classic libertarian trick: create appearances. The problem didn’t go anywhere, it just disappeared out of sight.
