    If we just imagined there was a country (or section of a country) that the US taking over would actually make things better for . . . sure? But there hasn’t been one of those since 1945, and even then the US made sure to minimize the good it did by giving amnesty to heinous war criminals.

      So yeah that’s a good example, I could use the logo from like a US WWII regiment to make fun of some Nazis they killed, but I wouldn’t put like black nationalist colors or LGBT colors on the logo when it was whites-only and discharged gay people

        That’s a bit of a contortion since “Z” is not a regiment. Using some sort of black liberationist symbol in conjunction with a more general symbol from the US attack on the Nazis seems, well, a little odd since it was a segregated military as you say, but nonetheless had black soldiers triumphing over Nazis who would have them enslaved or murdered. I suppose Azov isn’t likely being all that nice to trans people, but I’ve seen zero reporting on that topic.
