  • By including an ultranationalist political party in with the designs, you risk doing Putin's work for him. @drøn's misgivings are bang on.

  • I have to admit, I was not aware and had to google about that ultranationalist political party.

    I see your point but I don't agree with it. Svoboda means freedom.

    The highlighted part "da" means yes which in my interpretation could mean they're free to say yes to join European Union (similar colours by the way).

    But fair point you guys, I'll check with those friends of mine about it. I'm pretty sure they didn't mean it. It's pity that the word "Freedom" has this negative connotation.

  • In this situation it unfortunately comes loaded with context. I agree with @snottyotter - they shouldn't get to own it - but the far right spend a lot of effort on loading otherwise innocuous terms with their own meaning for a variety of reasons, and simply ploughing on with using the term 'your own way' is one of the ways that this can benefit them, since it can create the impression that they have broader support than they actually do. I've not got all the answers on that front, for sure.
