I can empathize with naïve people cheering Ukraine as a state, but this is properly disturbing.
Azov Battalion is openly neo-nazi. Their Wikipedia page still mentions it in the first paragraph as the very first adjective. They use neo-nazi symbolism. Mainstream US liberal media mention their neo-nazism, or at least ‘concerns’ about them being neo-nazis. Even a Google (eww) search gave that information quite readily.
Is this really who they want to martyr?
A lot of people there seem to be Ukrainian diaspora. If they are kids from people who fled Ukraine in the last few decades, their parents’ (and their own) beliefs are questionable at least. It is no surprise they are the type of people to defend Azov.
They quite simply do not understand. They’re completely brainwashed and hardwired to think that the idea that Nazis exist in Ukraine at all is a lie.
You expect them to actually make an effort of reading a Wikipedia paragraph? For a significant chunk of people their knowledge is limited to “These guys are fighting Putin’s orcs” and that’s it. That’s all they want to know.
Umm sweaty, don’t you know Wikipedia and all the western MSM they cite are Russian propaganda? Stop regurgitating Putin’s talking points mmkay?
The best way to get liberals to support fascism: Don’t call it fascism.
Me when I’m at the neo-nazi rally: “boy, there sure are a lot of neo-nazis around here. I wonder why”
tbh with this “evacuate mariupol” nonsense I wonder when they’ll start rehabilitating the nazis encircled at stalingrad
Wehraboos are already doing it for years so it would probably go mainstream now as analogy as soon as those peabrains catch it.
I can’t wait for red flags over the statue of “liberty”
We will make a statue of liberty 2.0 but this time it will be of John Brown.
Based.
So basically - fash under fash regime supporting other fash.
sad thing is i know so much of my family would be there
