Claims are circulating online that Finland is a Nazi country or supports Nazism due to the historical use of swastikas by its air force. The emblem, which holds diverse meanings and in the Western world served as an auspicious symbol before it became synonymous with Nazism...

This is so bad it’s almost funny, found it trying to find a link for the other finland post, a great article to send to anyone who believes in the fact checking services, like they were nazis, but they just really liked the shape of it so it’s not a nazi thing sweaty, it was a completely different alt right figure who introduced it

    Literally just mentioned this in the other thread. The ultranationalist ideology was fermenting in Europe for decades before the nazi party was made, the symbol was in use by the far right within those groups along with a bunch of others. It didn’t just magically pop out of Hitler’s head.

    The entire history of what led up to Hitler in Europe is just conveniently ignored by liberals. They pretend that Hitler was evil and popped into existence and that there wasn’t a huge thing that led up to him lasting decades across the entire continent.
