German energy giant RWE has begun dismantling a wind farm to make way for a further expansion of an open-pit lignite coal mine in the western region of North Rhine Westphalia.
I thought renewables were cheaper than coal. How is this possible?
The Balkenkreuz goes back to the Teutonic Order. The Nazis used it a lot which is why the Bundeswehr didn’t, but that doesn’t mean that painting a cross in a rush makes you a Nazi.
Seriously, what do you think soldiers in the field trying to not get shot at by their own guys are thinking about. I’ll give you a hint: Whether it’s more important to be camouflaged to the enemy or identifiable for friendlies, that’s it. Ukraine is using a simplified version of the Cossack Cross for that purpose, it’s a native part of their symbolism and easily distinguishable from the stuff Russians use. If everything that looks like a cross is now a Balkenkreuz and therefore Nazi you might want to take it up with various Christian Churches.
Oh and just for the record you’ll get arrested in Germany for showing the Z in a Russia/Ukraine context, including as a St. George Ribbon.
Lmao this response is up there with “the black sun isn’t nazi it’s an ancient symbol” and “azov’s wolfsangel is actually an N and an I which stands for ‘Idea of the Nation’”.
You’re a fascist mate and should stop fucking pretending otherwise. You’re the worst crypto-fascist I’ve ever seen.

Is not a thing I have ever, or would ever, say. Or opinion I ever had, or would ever have. You’ve got a very active imagination. The black sun was invented whole-cloth by Nazi mystics.
You know why I know such stuff? Because I fucking know Nazi symbology, unlike random US libs online larping as leftists on hexbear. The kind of anti-intellectuals seeing runes and hearing Faroese and then calling Tyr (the band) Nazis and shit. Not helpful, in fact, harmful.

This is “swastikas are Buddhist symbols” level of mental gymnastics.
