What is the context of the phrase now? Context is everything and you can't just point at the history books and twist the meaning of what someone said.
Languages change and morph over time. They always have.
The context is that this phrase is commonly used by neonazis and the far right in Ukraine today. Stop trying to whitewash fascists, it's not a good look.
Can I also not make the ok symbol because some dumbfucks are using it for other purposes?

I'm not being factually ingeniousness at all, but if you feel the need to lie to whitewash nazis then what else is there to say about you.
What interesting point you're making there. Let's just look at some of the people using "Slava Ukraini"
If these are the people you're carrying water for, then yeah you are a nazi apologist. I guess maybe if you're mentally deficient yourself then you might not have realized what the term means and who uses it, but I suspect you know precisely what you're doing here.
Nobody is moving any goalposts. This is a fascist phrased used by fascists. Period. I'm posting that because these are the people who took power in Ukraine in a violent coup that the west backs. Calling people who point out basic facts, as presented in mainstream western media, Russian propagandists shows who the actual troll here is.
Now tell black people they can’t use the n-word
Ah yes, because fascists are just like Black people. You are so very intelligent.
Can you honestly not see the comparison here?
Only a troll could possibly try to make a comparison like that.
No, you're using an out of date historical anecdote to generalize all usage of Ukraine's national slogan as pro Nazi. Way to drink the Russian Koolaid! The list of people that use the slogan that aren't Nazis is far larger and includes the Ukrainian President of ... Jewish descent. It's sad that the Mods fell for this.
I love how you trolls still use BuT ZeleNskY iS JeWiSh nonsense. If you don't understand why that argument is idiotic, what else is there to say to you.
Your insults really highlight the quality of your intellect.
You believing the accusation of wanting to be a russian bot is insulting is proof you do understand the reality you are so vehemently arguing against. I'll take the win and bid you good day as I remove your vile pollution from my life. Thank you for making your, and this Communities ridiculous hypocrisy so apparent. What's Russian for 'have a nice life you pitiful blight on society'? NM don't bother answering. I won't see it :)
