▲ 612 ▼ Germany begins dismantling wind farm for coal (euobserver.com) submitted 2 years ago by lntl@lemmy.ml to c/worldnews@lemmy.ml 284 comments fedilink hide all child comments German energy giant RWE has begun dismantling a wind farm to make way for a further expansion of an open-pit lignite coal mine in the western region of North Rhine Westphalia. I thought renewables were cheaper than coal. How is this possible?

The balkenkreuz is. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] barsoap@lemm.ee 2 points 2 years ago (2 children) The Balkenkreuz goes back to the Teutonic Order. The Nazis used it a lot which is why the Bundeswehr didn't, but that doesn't mean that painting a cross in a rush makes you a Nazi. Seriously, what do you think soldiers in the field trying to not get shot at by their own guys are thinking about. I'll give you a hint: Whether it's more important to be camouflaged to the enemy or identifiable for friendlies, that's it. Ukraine is using a simplified version of the Cossack Cross for that purpose, it's a native part of their symbolism and easily distinguishable from the stuff Russians use. If everything that looks like a cross is now a Balkenkreuz and therefore Nazi you might want to take it up with various Christian Churches. Oh and just for the record you'll get arrested in Germany for showing the Z in a Russia/Ukraine context, including as a St. George Ribbon. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 4 child comments replies: [–] Awoo@hexbear.net 31 points 2 years ago* (1 child) Lmao this response is up there with "the black sun isn't nazi it's an ancient symbol" and "azov's wolfsangel is actually an N and an I which stands for 'Idea of the Nation'".

You know why I know such stuff? Because I fucking know Nazi symbology, unlike random US libs online larping as leftists on hexbear.
