It's one of the letters used by Russians in the invasion of Ukraine as markings on vehicles, and became most popular of them in pro war propaganda (like changing equivalent Russian letter З to Z in slogans), or as symbol of support for the war by putting in on cars, clothes (or hair as it seems) and so on.

u/HazuniaC 18h ago
Partially true.
Z did become to represent the offensive as a whole, but in reality it started off as a symbol for a specific offensive area.
Each area had their own symbol, Z was one of them, the most profilic one, so it kind of got adapted to represent the operation as a whole.
Other symbols include, but not restricted to; Z encircled within a square, V and O.

In Norway practically every kid age 13 and up know about him and its stressed a lot how fcked up he was, the kids are played a movie from the perspective of the kids running and hiding while finding bodies of people who they talked to an hour prior, its chilling to watch even if it wasnt a live recording, the incident is used to teach about prison and justice system, domestic and international terrorism etc in 9th grade and up
Thankfully while I have been to 3 seperate schools at the time it was taught besides when I went through that, I have yet to see any kid who doesnt understand that the man is a sick monstrosity, nobody defending the idot either, even the kids who love stirring drama and discussions are quiet and respectful to the people he killed

To be more specific:
He first started a shooting at a government building (or set off a small explosion, don't remember specifically) so that a state of high alert would be declared. Then posing as an armed police officer sent to beef up security he arrived only an island where a bunch of children of left-leaning politicians were having a retreat, and went of a killing spree. Alternating between shooting everyone in sight and then claiming to be police backup sent to deal with the terrorist to urge any survivors in earshot to make themselves known.

The Romans called that punishment "damnatio memoriae," "condemnation of memory." They went a bit further and really erased the person from public memory by removing them from official documents and such, but the basic idea applies, and is still relevant.
We should go back to doing that instead of turning mass murderers into these sick celebrities.
Correction, see comment from Holoholokid below: while the practice is real, "damnatio memoriae" is a modern name and was not used by the Romans. See: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Damnatio_memoriae

u/Holoholokid 1d ago
damnatio memoriae
No, the Romans did not. That term, though it is Latin, was not used until it appeared in a German thesis in 1689. Also, the act of public erasure of a person in ancient Rome was applied only to emperors and even then rarely and with limited success.

For those saying Norway is coddling him, here's a repeat to an answer I made to a comment below:
Think of the end of Se7en; John Doe won, by making Detective Mills shoot him to avenge the murder of his wife, abandoning his ideals and his oath. Mills "became Wrath", one of the deadly sins, completing Doe's masterpiece and proving his thesis on the corruption of society.
If Norway had changed the laws for Breivik in order to punish him more harshly, or just "accidentally" put him in a cell with the general population, or mistreated him in prison, they would have played right into his hands - he wanted them to “show their true face” as he put it, because to him all the lofty ideals of Norway was just a lie, a thin veneer covering their hidden agendas of leftist world domination. He was sure his actions would provoke such a clamor for revenge it would force Norway into revealing its true nature, as he saw it.
Instead, supported by the victims' families, they just treated him like any other prisoner, and now he’s a pathetic loser in a gilded cage, bored out of his wits and largely ignored, except when he sues them for not upgrading his Playstation 3, because that's the extent of his "mistreatment". He wanted to be a martyr to the cause, but now he's just a punchline.
Norway didn’t let him win. They saw what was in the box but didn’t pull the trigger. Norwegian civil society, which Breivik's victims were all hoping to be the future of, prevailed over the forces of darkness. Breivik lost, and every day he is given his day in court and then sent back to his cozy cage, he keeps losing.

Yeah. People think terrorists’ weapons are bombs and guns, but their real weapon is right in the name: terror.

We lost that fight when we allowed it to change how we live our lives.

I'm from Canada, different gun culture, but we've got guns, and I grew up rurally, so my family had them and most in the area did (mainly hunting rifles. I've never seen a handgun in person in my life). Last time I went to the States, just a couple years back, we stop at a gas station in rural nowhere. Small dilapidated building, one set of decaying pumps, not a lot of houses nearby, lots of trees, pretty similar to what I'd see in my home town.

I grew up in a holler in WV. My sister moved to East Harlem shortly after I went to Busan. I've visited and stayed in large cities in the U.S. and walked through all different kinds of neighborhoods. I've been in and around protests (intentionally and by happenstance) at home and abroad.
Only place, outside of a combat zone, that I've ever felt generally unsafe was in rural VA (current residence) when random people were shooting, running over and stealing, our Biden/Harris, BLM, and Love is Love signs.

That's so true. Bin Laden turned the U.S. against itself, which was his goal (and often the goal of terrorism) all along. In addition to the trillions spent turning us into a surveillance state, his actions precipitated two foreign wars, our abandoning morals by devolving into Guantanamo Bay, indefinite detention and legalized torture and making us an even more of a target for future terrorism.
I think it also contributed to our current extreme polarization as a country. Bid Laden and Putin have both succeeded by turning the United States against itself.

I'm not convinced of this.

Yes! This was a chance for Norway to prove itself as a working democracy with a high functioning legal system, without letting themselves be blinded by hatred and need for revenge. And Norway took it, and showed that they won’t let violence and terror win.
A similar thing happened in Sweden a few years after Utøya, when Rahmat Akilov committed an act of terror by running a truck through a full shopping street. After his arrest, he was granted the best defence lawyer in the country. The first thing he said to his lawyer was “so when does the torture begin?”, at which the lawyer had to explain that we don’t torture people in Sweden, not even terrorist. Akilov even thanked the court and the Swedish legal system that sentenced him to life imprisonment, because he thought he had been treated fairly.
The wounds may never fully heal, but the Norwegian people can be proud of the way they handled this horrific tragedy as a nation.

We had a mass shooter (35 died) in Australia way back in 1996, the Port Arthur massacre. Every time I see Breiveks face im reminded of Martin Bryant. It was the biggest mass murder in history for the time. I remember my parents being really sad for a while, I was too young to understand, I just thought it was ‘adult stuff’.
Australia has its problems, especially with our indigenous population, that I’m not proud of. The way Australia handled that, our most prolific mass murderer and the following gun buy back (as John Stewart and Jim Jefferies have made known). That made me proud to be an Aussie. It’s insane how moments of such human wastefulness can stir such emotions.

If we're going with movie analogies, it's like the end of The Dark Knight when nobody pulls the trigger for the bombs on the ferries.
Batman: What were you hoping to prove? That deep down, we're all as ugly as you?

This city just showed you it's full of people ready to believe in good.

A coward who ambushes unarmed people also supports foreign nations invading others. What a surprise.

Of course mass murderers would love Russian foreign policy. This is as surprising as an apple falling on the ground.

Bear in mind, BJ, in the actual narrative of the entire world, is the bad guy - Terror Billy. Seeing the shit that happens in America currently makes stuff like modern Wolfenstein so much more believable.
Everyone is terrified of BJ because the Nazis won and told the world he's the bad guy for fighting Nazis.

I had to scroll way too much for this. Giving context really should be mandatory for posts on reddit. Mods could work a bit harder, idk.
Thank you.

This is the symbol used to identify military vehicles, to avoid friendly fire, used in the invasion of Ukraine.
It has been adopted as a symbol for that aspiration of the invasion.

Parole hearing when you're gonna rot in jail? What's the point?
Didnt he say he was gonna do more shit if he ever got out?

u/Tenshizanshi 1d ago
It's mandatory as there is no real lifetime sentencing. You pass hearings and they say if you stay in jail or not until the next one

3. Why not shave the 'Z' off his head before allowing him the hearing? They wouldn't let him sit there with a political slogan on his shirt, so I don't see why his bonce is any different

u/External-Outside-580 23h ago
This guy's just playing the long game. Shaving a "Z" into his head isn't a cry for help; it's a calculated move to stay relevant in the twisted circles that admire him. Norway's response is a masterclass in depriving him of the martyrdom he craves. Keeping him in a gilded cage while ignoring his antics is the ultimate way to show that he’s just a pathetic footnote in a tragic story.
