How do you make someone understand that being drafted by force and ordered to invade another country is not a good thing? (sh.itjust.works)

Hey now, the Finns dropped their Nazi symbology way back in… four years ago.

Since you're very fond of listing links and sources, I'll show you how argumenting is actually done. (Since your link lists were nothing but "I hope you never read any of these because they're not actually even related and I can't come up with an actual argument.)

You misuse the word "symbology".

Likeness in symbols representing different things aren't two different things using the same symbology, they're the same symbol which represents a different thing.

We've been using the Swastika since the Iron Age. When did they form the Nazi party again?

Awkward how you pretend to be so knowledgable, yet make these cringe "arguments", because I made you upset by asking you whether you're pro-Russian or not. Something which you absolutely refuse to answer. Weird, huh?
