Funny how Ukraine's fascism problem magically disappeared

it doesn't exist if it's not in the media

I mean "we" (western) states really try to get there (fascism) anyways. We just like "clean" fascists more.

It's funny because a large percentage of Ukraine's military leadership, if not the majority, would (and do) proudly and openly display their national flag right next to the swastika, or even one superimposed on the other*, but their western sycophants will all swear up and down how that's just an evil smear that Putler-Voldemort tries to spread in a desperate attempt to keep their heads safely buried in the sand. I will always laugh at how much western libs will give themselves aneurysms trying to deny it when you point out the straightforward and readily evident reality that Ukraine is a Nazi state, meanwhile everyone in the Ukrainian military with rank higher than private (and plenty of privates too) are like "hey check out my new totenkopf tattoo, it matches the swastika I've had on the other arm for years! Seig heil!"

Oh and here are some of the countless examples of the Ukrainian flag and Swastikas (or other symbolism) actually superimposed on or paired with each other, as proudly displayed by openly fascist Ukrainians:

Put all the Nazis in the trash. Even if they're defending an invaded homeland. That's not even a hot take. Blanketing all Ukranians under a Nazi label is disingenuous, as OP insinuates. Get downvotwd for it

Blanketing all Ukranians under a Nazi label is disingenuous, as OP insinuates.

No one blanketed all Ukrainians, all of us who recognize the accuracy of the OP image well know the Ukrainians of Donbas have been valiantly fighting since 2014 against the nazi regime in Kiev that openly hang their yellow and blue flag right next to swastika flags. But just because it's obviously true that not all Ukrainians are nazis, that doesnt mean there isn't a deep and systemic problem of naziism in western Ukrainian culture with large swathes of the population worshipping nazis like Bandera, or that the Ukrainian military isn't largely composed of literal nazi militias.

Put all the Nazis in the trash.

Agreed. (Better yet a pit). Though I hope you realize if we were able to do that, then the entirety of the forces fighting against Russia would instantly collapsewand the Zelenky's regime would cease to be.

Get downvotwd for it

Oh no! Not the fake internet points down-spammed by NATO bots!
Cringe.

You think NATO is employing bots to downvote your alt? There's cringe here and it ain't me lol
