The issue isn’t that Ukraine is doing German-style fascism. The issue is that Ukraine is doing Ukrainian-style fascism (which the Germans tolerated for a while until Bandera overplayed his hand.) Sure, they haven’t done the concentration camps, but what they are doing (ethnically-targeted attacks on at the very least Russians and Roma, thinly-veiled Ukrainian/white supremacy (silly orcs can’t hope to compare to the superior technology and know-how of the Ukrainian people), hailing Nazi collaborators/Holocaust participants as national heroes, mask-sorta-off antisemitism/homophobia/etc. rampant in power structures such as the military, historical revisionism, the list probably goes on) is/would have been par for the course for the OUN-B… which worked with the Nazis until asking for too much independence and even after that failed kept contributing to the wider Holocaust (as in “yeah, the Germans suck, but we still hate Jews, Poles, Russians, LGBTQ+, Roma, commies, the disabled, and other deviants and want them to die.”)

Well, the post is about Ukraine doing German style fascism. There is a lot to criticize for sure but comparing it to nazi Germany is where I draw the line.
