    I’ll say it again: multiple mass shooters around the world have now been inspired by Azov. They will get billions of aid and weaponry from the US. This will not end well.

      The shooters talk about their inspirations. It’s not some battalion in Ukraine inspiring them, it’s online echo chambers and previous shooters who they quoted in their manifesto.

      You’re right in that Azov and their friends shouldn’t be normalized, and that they do help train fascist/neo-nazi groups abroad like in the US. There are connections there in organized fascism. You’re also right about the US enabling these groups. But deranged shooters like this one aren’t looking to Azov for inspiration and the government they blame for aid. Related, but not to be conflated.

        Yes I agree with your point. That’s sort of what I meant but I forgot to add the nuance. I didn’t meant to say it was just Azov, but you worded it better. Cheers.

    A lot of people think the Nazi uprising is going to be a big dramatic affair. But in reality it’s already starting. Normalizstion of Nazi groups and funding going to their causes, an increase of terror against people of color, mass shootings with a trail of manifestos behind them.

    Even if the Biden administration addresses this, you can be damn sure they won’t mention their role in it.

    Just saw a paradoxical Twitter thread by some “Nazi expert” who basically went “Sonnenrad isn’t an Ukrainian symbol!! There are no Nazis in Ukraine! But there are Nazis, but Nazis are everywhere, so it’s okay, but it’s not okay”

    Literally incomprehensible, but they’re trying to spin it as “sure they might have Nazis, but who doesn’t 😊”

      I have no fucking patience for Twitter right now. All those fucking right wing maggots doing everything they can to downplay or deflect what one of their boys just did. And they get rewarded for it with blue checkmarks and attention from the algorithm. It makes me sick.

      I fucking hope it will happen as soon as possible, as their economy and dollar crumbles, I hope a fucking Yellowstone will expl… I mean, I love all humans, it doesn’t matter if they think like that, everyone deserves a freeze speech, I don’t hate no one, I hope all countries will get along with each oder and humanity will live in harmony and peace, no one deserves violence😊

    At least this nazi cancer never was able to rooting here in my country even when we haved the second biggest nazi party in the world. Maybe trying to sell race theory in a multi ethnicall country is an shit idea after all. Those parasites are numerous tho, just some weeks ago they found an nazi with enough weapons to arm an squad, all ww2 stuff, he even haved uniforms and shit.

    The real question now is: will things get far worse before they get better? I think in the U.S. they definitely will. The dems will lose in november and 2024, after that I think republicans will just send us back to the stone age and we will then go do another civil war. Fascists will also rise in Europe, we have seen this in Ukraine since nazis are war heros now apparently. This shit will spread like cancer to western nations and then boom, world war 3 happens in like 20-30 years if we keep going like this, I am convinced now that Finland and Sweden joined NATO.
