you shouldn't be asking if we're nazi like but why Russia uses that as a reason for demonizing the unit. Totally has nothing to do what images we use or behavior 🤔

At least as of this point they are pushing hard for actual answers to it, but wonder when reddit will remove those questions

I did see this comment lol, after someone said Azov nazis was the main reason a lot of people saw it as "let them fight":

A unit making up 0.2% of the Ukrainian army is reason enough to “let them fight”? You do realize that US, for example, has more neo-Nazis than Ukraine? Should Ruasia be allowed to attack it next? Or maybe Germany, where a far-right party has been gaining majority all over?

So…does this mean that Palestine does not deserve collective punishment over the presence of Hamas? And that we shouldn’t just genocide Muslims because of the presence of fascist terrorist groups the US has supported?

Westerners: “Do you condemn Hamas!?!?” Hamas means Israel is heckin’ wholesome 100!”

Also westerners: “So what if Azov a nazi organization! We need to support their side in the proxy war NOW!”
