What moron puts a swastika, Russian flag, and Confederate flag up together? Tell us you're a Nazi without telling us you're a Nazi. Telegraph that all you want. Just don't argue you're also a patriot.

Yeah, the Rooskies and the country that had the swastika during WW2 were such good buds back then.

Call me cynical (optional) but I felt that Stalin's." international socialism" and Hitler's "national socialism" were disgusting similar.

And not at all socialist.

The antics of Putin(a fan of Stalin) are not exactly a refutation of my glib oversimplification.

The word "socialist" gets thrown around pretty loosely.

Fascism. Do some research into Italy in the early 1920s. The rise of Mussolini. The way the man with the moustache treated minorities. The media calls them the "far right." Call it whatever, but the MAGA crowd meets the definition of fascism.

To be honest, I assume the photo on the left is fake, for various reasons. That said, I would not be surprised if some idiot had at least 3 of them flying on their prop, though likely taped to a fence.

Saw two of 'em being waved on a busy corner near Woodfield Mall yesterday.

Enlarged it looks to my nekkid eye fairly real in enlargement. At least a well done fake. Only the white-blue-red looks slightly fake: rather shiny white on a dull day. But white-blue-red ---> the Russian Federation? Someone may have substituted it :think:

ps. Google image search finds only the original xitter post, even when limited to the T part

I thought the Confederate flag is supposed to be the white surrender flag? Maybe I don't know my history. 8-)
