Really not beating the supporting Nazis allegations with this

I had an Arab friend told me he hated Ukraine. Not hated the war or anything like, but just hated Ukraine as a whole. I definitely understood his sentiment but didn’t agree with entirely hating it even after all the obvious Nazism. I took the liberal route of bad apples, that the majority of people do not support fascism. But it’s pretty clear that my friend is correct. I hate modern Ukraine in its entirety - no different than the US or Israel or Nazi Germany or confederate south. This is what Ukraine and its western allies support. Russia shouldn’t give them any concessions

it is worth noting that the Ukrainian people elected Zelensky on a platform of peace and bringing azov to heel. Although everyone from the region I've personally met has been massively in favour of war with russia

There is probably a selection bias there, like most Cubans in America being reactionaries.

[-] Mardoniush@hexbear.net 1 points 1 year ago

I know a few, and while they're generally no fan of Putin (who you do not in fact have to hand it to), massively in favour is an overstatement.

Socialists of course are just in despair with Nazis running free and even the anti-Russian left censored and shut down, but even with libs who regard it as an unambiguous war of self-defence it's not pure jingoism.

I think people are greatly underestimating the cost of this war, it's like the home front of WW1 there right now, a generation wiped out, then replaced by the next set of 18 year olds, that also get wiped out. Except Ukraine is careful to keep casualties as invisible as possible. Rationing and complete shutdown of much of the economy. Meanwhile Russia can soak up the deaths with less impact on their society.

Zelensky ran on a peace platform so he got more votes in Donetsk, Lugansk and the other regions in the East, as you go further West you get less and less people voting for him until you reach Lviv and overseas voters where they voted for PoroshenKKKo

yeah but if you look at that map there is still a majority of people voting for the peace platform across nearly the entire country

[-] AOCapitulator@hexbear.net 1 points 1 year ago

The word nazi doesn't even appear in that AP article what the fuuuuck

[-] RyanGosling@hexbear.net 1 points 1 year ago

Not even the words “SS” or “German”. The average unbiased, unpropagandized westerner will read the caption and think “whoa wholesome Ukrainian military unit”

Worldnews from reddit-logo is deleting it on sight.

Funny to see the narrative crumble bit by bit.

Got banned from there months ago for "spreading Russian misinformation" when I said "I don't think we should give self avowed nazis a bunch of military gear with no strings attached because after the war they'll still have them and use them to do nazi shit in a newly destabilized region"

Does saying "I told you so" ever actually get you anything or are the libs gonna ignore the fact they've been wrong about everything for decades until they get us all killed.

It doesn't, after Azov transforms into Azov Qaeda or whatever after the war libs will just lie saying they never supported the proxy war in Ukraine anyway and they'll just jump back into the 24h news cycle to support some other far-right group in Taiwan instead.

Did anyone not clap? Holy shit hahaha

[-] CoolerOpposide@hexbear.net 1 points 1 year ago

How does that saying go?

Bring a fascist before parliament and a liberal applauds??

"So this is how liberty dies: with thunderous applause."

Zelenskyy and Trudeau also attended a rally in Toronto with the local Ukrainian community late Friday.

Wonder how many red and black flags they had at that rally.

[-] ziggurter@hexbear.net 1 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

Here's a video I found. Looks like one (Ukrainian) flag and a few itsy-bitsy souvenir type Ukrainian and Canadian flags like you might find in a margarita or something. But it looks like a small, elitest crowd of mostly people in business suits. So probably more the type who appreciate the fascism from afar and pretend it's just a necessary evil that has little to do with them because it's just their money getting soaked in blood, not their own actual hands.

Then again I don't see any shots of the people at the back, so who knows.

Canada and the USA are full of literal Nazis. But that doesn't stop them from saying that they all fled to South America, even though most Italian, Japanese and German immigrants came before the First World War.

[-] SpiderFarmer@hexbear.net 1 points 1 year ago

America, no! Sorry, force of habit.

I hate this so much. This country is unsalvageable

canada doesn't need to be scratched, canadians are desperate to prove that we can hang with the big boys aren't aren't just a peripheral resource extraction colony on the edge of empire. nobody takes Canada all that seriously so our politicians have to go out of their way to telegraph that we are as fascist as our allies

[-] TheOtherwise@hexbear.net 1 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

Absolutely fucked.

How old would that make this dude?

[-] drinkinglakewater@hexbear.net 1 points 1 year ago
[-] CoolerOpposide@hexbear.net 1 points 1 year ago

Not too old to be ~~hypothetically pushed down a flight of stairs~~ put on trial for volunteering to fight for the nazis
