Yo! Grey wolves = fascist, don't repost that shit
Wtf are you on about? They don't get to decide what symbols belong to them. Ok π? πΈ Fuck Nazi's appropriating culture for themselves. Iirc the style of this comment indicates their membership in THE PACK AAYROOOO
Feels like the gray wolf isn't defined enough as a fascist symbol that there's plenty of latitude for non-fascists to use it. Like if that account is known to use it that way it's one thing, but otherwise it's probably just a coincidence. The swastika is the most widely known symbol of hate these days but even now you can go see it on all kinds of temples in Asia, so if even that gets used in a non-nazi way these days surely the gray wolf isn't only defined as a fascist symbol.
Gray Wolf in conjunction with Turkish flag and arms fire is pretty unique. Smells like Nazi.
You get sensitized if it's in the news regularly. I would expect it to be less well known oversees.
Here Grey wolf are regularly attacking in the street, sometime with knife, and some murder of exiled people opposed to Erdogan seems to be related to this guys. Just fascists
Grey wolves are considered as a historic symbol by Turks, similar to how a bald eagle is treated by americans or dragons to Chinese people. You can also see ultra-nationalist people of these countries use these symbols a lot, but it doesn't change the meaning of these symbols to the majority of the country's population.
O durum senin cahilliΔin git biraz tarihini oku
Everything I don't like is fascism
I don't remember what the name of the logical fallacy where you conflate a small problem with a big one, but that's what you're doing. It's a poor argument regardless of the context.
iirc it's the slippery slope fallacy
Are not grey wolves a cultural symbol related to an old turkish tale? Does not look facist to me.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Grey_Wolves_%28organization%29
I'm not letting some obscure group of fucking Turks claim a goddamn emoji as their own and stop using it myself. Same with Pepe, a πΈ emoji, or π. They already have the swastika and a bunch of others from the ACTUAL Nazis, let them use those instead.
In the Turkish diaspora they are used as a dog whistle for Turkish nationalist. Good dog whistle too. You don't hear it.
Yes they are. It's a bunch of armchair political experts confidently talking out of their buttholes.
There IS a racist political movement, which is often referred as Grey Wolves abroad who think they own the symbol, but leaving an ancient cultural story to a bunch of fucks is the stupidest thing ever. This is the same level of stupid as saying Pepe the Frog is a white supremacist symbol.
Ah so this is about an organization named "grey wolves" known for their hostile worldviews, not the grey wolf from the historical tale about a she-wolf raising a human children? This could have been elaborated better.
Youβre getting downvoted but I agree with you. The joke in the image is funny, but the presence of these grey wolve emojis suggests affiliation with the Grey Wolves which are fascist. No debating that, I donβt get the other comments here.
No they are not right. I can't know the political views of someone in some shitpost, but the original grey wolf symbolim comes from Turkic mythology, which is today being co-opted by racist fucks. It still gets used ironically to make fun of those fucks (just like posting Musk's Nazi salute doesn't automatically make you a nazi if you are making fun of him).
In addition, some people want to reclaim the symbolism, because it's ancient mythology, why would we leave it to them, right?
Yes, that is the point. Oh, this isn't about 40k?
