    The character is the only one with sunken cheeks; and thinness is a stereotype of poverty; the walls reveal bricks in places, so the house is not properly maintained, another stereotype; the tablecloth follows a fashion, the Vichy, dating from the 30s and associated with the elderly, and the fact of using old and/or outdated clothes/furniture/decor is yet another stereotype. For an image that has few details, that’s a lot.

    That’s not the point. The point is: Ukraine is a normal country, nor a fascist hellhole nor a perfect Paradise. Their national symbol is also used by its far right, today and during the WWII; just like all other countries under the Nazi rule in Europe. And just like all other countries under the Nazi rule in Europe, they continued to use their national symbols after the WWII.

    Symbols have more than one meaning… The word “fascism” comes from one of these symbols: the Fasces. However the fasces are still used by France:

    Or by the US:

    Are these countries fascists just because they use the Fasces? Of course not. They have other meanings. It’s the same with this Ukrainian symbol.
