    I strongly disagree.

    But, by example, if l (a .ml and lemmyngrad user) go to a Ukrainian instance with a pro-western narrative to tell that they are backing and are backed by fascism, as other hundreds others had done before, I would deserve a ban.

      You mean the US? The US isn’t fascist. We’ve still got about 48 hours before that.

        No, but units such as the Azov battalion and Right Sector both of whom got pulled into the UA are explicitely fascist with official Nazi symbolism and ideology.

        The UA in general isn’t, but the most combat effective units within it are.

        I mean, during the past 4 years, you guys have been building a giant wall to keep brown people out, funded a genocide to maintain a white ethno state in the middle east, enacted economical sanctions to try to suffocate socialist movements around the world, overturned a law that granted access to abortions… I could continue, but I think that’s enough to consider the USA fascist already.
