https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/NAFO_(group)


The North Atlantic Fella Organization (NAFO, French: Organisation des Fella de l'Atlantique nord, OFAN, a play on NATO, the North Atlantic Treaty Organization) is an Internet meme and social media movement dedicated to countering Russian propaganda and disinformation about the 2022 Russian invasion of Ukraine.[1][2][3][4] It has been categorised as a form of information warfare.[2]

In addition to posting irreverent commentary about the war and memes promoting Ukraine or mocking the Russian war effort and strategy ("sh**tposting"), the group also raises funds for the Ukrainian military and other pro-Ukrainian causes.[1][3] The representation of a NAFO "Fella" is a Shiba Inu dog (based on the Doge meme),[4] often used as an avatar and sometimes described as a "cartoon dog"[3][5] or a "group of Shiba Inu soldiers".[6]

In August 2022, The Economist remarked that "NAFO's flippancy obscures its role as a remarkably successful form of information warfare."[2] NAFO has attracted direct criticism from a number of pro-Russia outlets and figures including RT and Russian foreign ministry spokeswoman Maria Zakharova.[7]

Freedom Fighters, and I sympathize with them.

The name alone made me chuckle, so I guess I can't deny they're kinda funny? Most people who feel the need to signal their virtue usually lack humor.

Correct side of the conflict, but mostly just very annoying.

Deeply irritating people. Probably a Russian propaganda operation.

Their opinions on Ukraine are absolutely correct, their hearts are in the right place and they make vatniks seethe. At times kind of cringe, but who cares. FFs.

Unbelievably annoying and quite depraved (see the way they talk about nuclear war, for instance) but far from the most noisome commentators on this war
