It’s not even an octopus
Doesn’t the poster have an iron cross in his pfp?
Don’t derail this conversation! If you look closely on the sign, you can spot the letter “A” which the Nazis prominently used as part of the sentence “Arbeit macht frei”
And Za in GaZa indicates support for the Ruzzians. Clearly, Greta is a nazi
Excuse me, haven’t you heard of context?
Now let me continue harassing this popular teenage girl on the internet.
Oh, I know these! They are “evertable” plushies, where you can turn the inside out. It has an angry face on what is currently the outside, and on the inside it has a happy face. They’re really cute, but I think this one is supposed to be a jellyfish
Yes, my sister from aunt has one, they’re super cute
This was the only hidden reply to that tweet:
People with Ukraine flags calling anyone else Nazis are fucking top of the line comedians.
“Haha silly vatnik, you just got OWNED! Now I shall go back to cyberbullying some minor-celeb over a toy squid”
I’ll also take an issue with the whole “vatnik” meme which is very classist.
Vatnik is a quilted coat with extremely simple design: cotton wadding sewn between two sheets of fabtic, square torso, patch pockets sewn through with stiching showing on the other side, much like French chore coats. It originates from Cental Asian quilted robes and was worn in Russia since the 19th century.
It was mass produced in the USSR since 1932, initially for the Red Army but quickly became ubiquitous - it was warm, sturdy, cheap, easy to produce, so it was used by hunters, construction workers, street sweepers, night watchmen, farmers, and virtually anyone who had to spend a lot of time outdoors in the Russian weather. It quickly spread all over Eastern Europe and Asia, widely used from Poland to Mongolia. As an item of the Eastern Block “heritage workwear”, vatnik is as iconic as denim for yanks.

People wearing this cheap, crude coat pushed Nazis all the way back to Berlin. Incidentally, Hugo Boss designed Nazi coats didn’t fare quite as well in the Russian winter.

In the 60s and 70s as the USSR economy provided better looking winter garments for its army and citizens, vatniks lost some of their use, but were still common in the rural areas, amongst poorer urban population, and as workwear, well after the dissolution of the USSR.
People who use this word as an insult simply hate the workers and the poor.
When anticommunists nitpick like this to miss the point, it makes me feel like my obsessive–compulsive disorder is justified.
I deliberately wrote ‘On this day in 1935’ so that I could avoid writing the number eighty‐eight.
? how does 10/3/35 have any connection to 88?
88 years ago
2023 - 88 = 1935
Reminds of the time Bret Stephens tried to say it was antisemitic because, he specifically, he got called a bed bug.
this is how I find out my bird is an anti-semite?
Nazi birds get the wall too kid. No exceptions.
It’s strange seeing the same people who spent years championing Greta Thunberg turning on her because she took the “wrong” stance.
That’s kind of how social media heroizes and villinizes people based on political stances. They want their parasocial heroes that seem to represent them to always have their opinions validated. Its not like citizens in the colonial west can actually change anything other than do what capital requires, so instead of policy changes they have to psychologically push themselves online to have popular parasocial heroes say what is necessary instead. When they realize that they can’t even get that and a contradiction between their parasocial heroes don’t reflect their opinions, the feeling of betrayal feels even more immense.
Well, genociding minorities was a well known sign of the #NAZIS also, so explain yourself Isn’treal.
Wait its not an Octopus? I thought it was, I can barely tell the difference, I just thought squids were Longer
Actual Kraken is a squid
That’s a lil confusing bc the toy looks more like an octopus than a Kraken
Yea the plush is octopus but Kraken is a squid which means that plush is not Kraken
I guess I’m an anti semite now 😔
Btw octopus holding world in tentacles was originally socialist carricature of capitalism. As such it got apropriated by nazis in their “capitalism is jewish” nonsense.
The Nazis really did ruin everything.
Not the German schooling the autistic teen on the nazis I can’t with that country anymore lol
Maybe she should have well-known ukrainian fertility symbols like the black sun or totenkopf in the background instead
