    to me these two things are distinctly different from each other, and I wouldn’t link these two things together.

    There’s a Shona proverb, “The axe forgets what the tree remembers” - There are still holocaust survivors alive today, and they and their descendants continue to remember the actions of Ukrainian fascists. To many of them the Nazi history and Azov symbols and rhetoric are inexorably linked. Maybe consider whether it should be a bigger deal to you, now that murderers are coming for people you care about. Will you stay silent if Canada erects a monument to Wagner veterans in 50 years?
