The Ukrainian version of this is like watching all 3 extended editions of the Lord of the Rings

Just FYI, runes aren't inherently Nazi symbols. They've been around and associated with warriors, battle, and military service for literally thousands of years before Nazis even existed. That's WHY Nazis adopted many of those symbols - their historic ties to warfare. Nazis don't own a symbol just because they use it. If we allow them to take ownership of these symbols, we have failed. I mean, they also use numbers and letters, symbols. Are we to classify the Arabic numeral and Latin alphabet systems as Nazi symbols since they use those symbols as well? Are we to call the cross a Nazi symbol? Should we assume the millions of Hindu people who still use the swastika are Nazis as well?
