Ukraine and the Russian invasion, 2022-24

[spitfire]

Yeah loads of these t-shirt type stuff is just businesses jumping on anything trying to make money on a current thing, it happens with pretty much anything. There's whole commercial outfits that plaster any slogan or photo you want on mugs/t-shirts/whatever... Don't think there's anything significant to be read into any on demand printed item you can find online coming from a factory in China. Apart from the opportunism of capital.

There was a big scandal a few years back when there was loads of AI generated Auschwitz "memorabilia" including cushions with the Arbeit Macht Frei gate on them, grim. I think it may even have been on Amazon (citation needed).

Will anyone on here admit to having a NAFO T shirt?

I don't, but totally would admit to it if I did. I think they're an interesting meme outfit (or whatever you'd call them) and bunging them a few quid for a t-shirt is far from problematic imo.

Get one and post a photo.

Is it not the case that all the memes exist as an indication of the west's interest in this particular war - rather than that interest existing because of the memes etc?

You're right initially but I think there'd be more interest if there were more memes and rocket videos etc. Not that this is a good thing btw- ISIS got a lot of recruits from this sort of online promotion

It's traditional to request semi-naked or naked photos via PM rather than so publicly I think.

Although it's good to see your secret anarchist fetish out in the air now.

I do but it's a moon landing conspiracy one and it says 'Neil Armstrong? Fuck Off!'

I like that. It's clever and ironic and gives people something to think about.

Not yet, but I am on the verge of ordering one.

I think that you are probably right, though I think that there is undoubtedly some traffic in the opposite direction, too.

Would you actually wear it though? I love memes but I think it would look a little odd.

I'm not wearing mine. It doesn't fit.

Too many Russians in London. I'd worry about getting beaten up!

It's kind of why I haven't got one yet. I "grew out of" T-shirts with writing on quite a long time ago, so it's going to be a considered step. TBH, I'm either going to go large (HIMARS Crimea Beach Party) or go home - I don't particularly want to go down the obscure references or "Slava Ukraine" road...

 

[The39thStep]

Prob best worn with combats , gives it the I'm fighting a war vibe

Fuck 'em.

Don't take the piss. I've got at least 10kg left to lose before I can get into my DPM trousers, which I last wore in 1991.

I'm going cargo shorts to show how hard I am and the cold doesn't bother me.

Know the feeling, I put on 5 kilos since I've packed in smoking and my chino waistband was too tight on the plane last night.

You could get a job working at Zipcar with its logo as a huge glow in the dark Z to keep it ambiguous

You'll need those shorts when Spymaster bells you to give him some back up with the Russians

There's some sort of Russian meme in that I'm sure

I think most people would consider that one obscure. They will wonder what a picture of a missile launcher & beach scene alongside the name Crimea is supposed to be all about, and what you're trying to say by wearing it. Some people will just think you're some kind of military enthusiast. Not everyone will be sure whether it's indicating support for Ukraine, or something else.
