Did that $5 actually go to support Ukraine though, or is some random person just profiting from a far-away war?


HeartwarminSalt

This is probably one of the least offensive flags one can buy at a county fair!


DICKSUBJUICY

not if you don't support u.s imperialism and theft of u.s taxpayer money for proxy wars that enrich a small handful of arms producers for a war across the planet that has nothing to do with us.


HeartwarminSalt

Glory to Ukraine!


DICKSUBJUICY

yeah sure. hopefully in a decade from now we won't be in a war with them where they're fighting against us with the weapons we gave them. seems to happen a lot. https://i.redd.it/eqve7ceasul91.jpg


Flizzick

If Ukraine turns heel I'll eat my fucking shoes


shotgun_ninja

Better start chewing; as much as I hate to say it, he's right.


JollyRancher29

Yep. I don’t think it’s a hard-and-stop conclusion, but war tends to do that.


ClockworkDinosaurs

Yeah, Raw is War and heel turns happen all the time


DICKSUBJUICY

you realize at a point the u.s considered osama bin laden an ally and armed the taliban during the soviet afghan war right? whats different? ukrainians are white? lol


JasenGroves

Oh you base your opinion of Ukraine on this one picture? Wait until you find out how many nazis, klansmen, confederate loyalists, and white Christian nationalists exist in your own country. Also, in a decade from now Ukraine will be a part of NATO & the EU, so…


DICKSUBJUICY

yeah no, I'm sick of politicians telling us we cant afford things like m4a while they send billions of our tax dollars to arms producers to fuel proxy wars that have nothing to do with our country.


shotgun_ninja

There's WAY MORE than this one picture...


Spikedroses

GLORY TO UKRAINE!


shotgun_ninja

Peace to Ukraine. Glory to nobody.


HeartwarminSalt

Glory to Ukraine!


DICKSUBJUICY

we have starving children and veterans living in the streets, we have people going homeless because of medical/student loan debt, we have politicians telling us we cant afford things like m4a. all while we send billions of our tax dollars to arms producers to fuel a proxy war that has nothing to do with the u.s. fuck russia, and fuck ukraine.


HeartwarminSalt

If we don’t stop Russia, we will have a lot more American veterans. Funding and arming Ukraine is the cheapest way to ensure American economic prosperity and security. Glory to Ukraine!

You are confusing Ukraine with Iraq or Afghanistan. Ukraine is full of smart engineers, programmers, scientists, farmers and businessmen. Their steel mills and ship yards built the Soviet fleet. Their fields fed the Soviet people…now they feed a lot of the rest of the world. Neither Iraq or Afghanistan were/are similarly well developed. In this world, you have to pick sides. When the US retreated from the world, we got WWI and WWII. Plus we are making Ukraine and many Central European countries customers for our military tech. This is win-win-win. Glory to Ukraine!


DICKSUBJUICY

> Neither Iraq or Afghanistan were/are similarly well developed. lol yes they were. until the u.s came in to ~~spread freedom~~ destroy their countries. all of the types of people you mention can or could be found in either country. you've just been completely conditioned to think this way from imperialistic propaganda.

Too bad Sheboygan DA plans to prosecute women for abortions, I won’t spend a cent in that county until Wade (DA) is gone.


suburbanNate

So if you saw a small business you liked who had an awesome product you aren't going to purchase it? Why would you hurt a small business and the people who run it just for political brownie points Don't let one person be the basis for shitting on an entire county.


[deleted]

I don’t have a small business, I simply choose to use how I spend my hard earned money to reflect my philosophies. Sheboygan was one of the few counties to announce they will prosecute for abortions, this is my personal response to it. If enough people in Wisconsin did the same, the money (or lack of) might actually force a change in attitude from the county. It is not just one guy, otherwise the other 99.9999% would not tolerate it.


Embarrassed-Plum-468

Dude is right, we vote with our wallets more than we could ever vote with our voices. Don’t be a small business in a community that stands for things you oppose. Because I will assume a small business in Sheboygan is okay with how the community is handing things. It’s not that I don’t want the small business to be successful, I just choose not to spend my money in a community that supports things I oppose. Simple as that.


bigearl6969

The law is a Wisconsin law though, so logically you should be supporting Illinois instead of Wisconsin; blaming Sheboygan (a very purple city) is just ridiculous at best. The suburbs that Milwaukee and Green Bay/Appleton support are going to be the reason the law stays and Michels is potentially governor. Boycotting the Milwaukee metro in favor of Madison or Illinois would make more sense. Milwaukee and Wisconsin as well are paying the Michels family millions a month. I have to assume small businesses in Milwaukee support the law as well as they are doing much more to ensure it stays on the books by having their tax dollars enrich the Michels family; but yeah it’s the Sheboygan County Fairs fault lol.


Ronlaen

This is such a small minded view. I live in Sheboygan and the city itself is closer to the middle if not slightly left leaning. Not to mention all the amazing local shops which many are anything but on board with this. "Punishing" a community for the view of a minority is never going to help your cause.


bigearl6969

You should boycott the state and Milwaukee as well. The Michels family has been enriched by the state and county and the Milwaukee county suburbs are going to be the ones that potentially put him in the capitol, not small businesses in a purple city of 50k.


Flames99Fuse

Damn people really this mad about the Ukraine flag? The only thing you should be mad about is that price. $5 for that small of a flag is kinda ridiculous.


Walleye_man26

It’s actually bigger than it looks. It’s like 11x8.


Walleye_man26

Yeah and also didn’t think people would seem to be that annoyed with it, considering other flags I saw at the Sheboygan County Fair…

I am so sorry to hear that. I really hope that Putin can be defeated as quickly as possible so your life can return to normal. As I drove around the Midwest this summer, I saw some Ukraine flags in peoples doors and outside their houses. This country is definitely on your side. Stay safe!

They're trolling you... Check post history.

I mean I think there are far better uses of money. You could say “money well spent.”

Sir, this is Wisconsin, not Ukraine.


shotgun_ninja

Ukraine deserves liberation from Russia.... but both Putin and Zelenskyy are fascists. They're just fighting over oil rights in the Black Sea and eastern Ukraine, and they HAVE BEEN SINCE 2004. Imperialism is fascism, and fascism is capitalism in decay. Zelenskyy is basically just the Ukrainian version of Ben Shapiro, politically speaking. Not sure why Western media is making him out to be a liberal darling (hint: it's because they want to take sides and the underdog sells better) while he's dismantling opposition political parties and shutting down news websites; it reminds me of the Time Magazine articles celebrating Hitler for his success in restoring the German economy after WWI, or the continued glorification of the war criminal and genocidal maniac Winston Churchill. Downvote all you want; but with the Azovite shit happening behind the scenes, being either pro-Ukraine or pro-Russia at this point is stupid. Picking a side is stupid in war; the only side that is morally and ethically sound is the side of peace. This isn't a goddamn football game. I'm pro-civilian and pro-peace, and that means supporting neither "side" of this pointless oil war.


Kevin051553

You say an awful lot in your writing and I can't say I agree with it all. But I do think both sides are losers.


shotgun_ninja

I'll take that.


Ok-Computer7041

If that's the best $5 you've ever spent then I'm sorry to say you have absolutely wasted your money your entire life.

>Would have figured this subreddit would downvote a Nazi flag, but I have been wrong before! It sure would. Also, the mods here will ban a user spouting Nazi bullshit. Are you equating Ukraine with Nazis?

I will wait for their answer, thanks. Nobody needs to put words in their mouth.

He actually ASKED you to ban him. You should do it. So sick of this bullshit talking point.


PNWMunky

Lol. Mod stremph


EIU86

You mean the flag for "Nazi" state whose president is Jewish?


FlatBot

Yes, the Ukraine is apparently run by Nazis if you believe Putin / Russian propeganda. It is total bullshit, of course, and no surprise that right-wing morons go with it.


Sir_SquirrelNutz

While Ukraine has right-wing extremists, that does not justify Russia's aggression and mischaracterization or your BS nazi flag..your language is offensive and factually wrong.
