31 May 2022 – <\/em>Ahh, that\u2019s much better. Problem solved.<\/p>\n

British empire smut rag The Times<\/em> has a new article out titled \u201cAzov Battalion drops neo-Nazi symbol exploited by Russian propagandists<\/a>,\u201d which has got to be the most hilarious headline of 2022 so far (and I\u2019m including The Onion and other intentionally funny headlines in the running).<\/p>\n

\u201cThe Azov Battalion has removed a neo-Nazi symbol from its insignia that has helped perpetuate Russian propaganda about Ukraine being in the grip of far-right nationalism,\u201d <\/em>The Times informs us.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

At the unveiling of a new special forces unit in Kharkiv, patches handed to soldiers did not feature the wolfsangel, a medieval German symbol that was adopted by the Nazis and which has been used by the battalion since 2014. Instead, they featured a golden trident, the Ukrainian national symbol worn by other regiments.\u201d<\/p>\n

Yeah that\u2019s how you solve Ukraine\u2019s Nazi problem. A logo change.<\/p>\n

BREAKING: Ukrainian Nazis are getting rid of their SS symbols to stop evil propagandists in one of the smartest marketing moves ever. The Times headline tells how much Western oligarchs support fascists. \ud83c\uddfa\ud83c\udde6\u270b pic.twitter.com\/ITV7TFWA6F<\/a><\/p>\n
