reminder that latvia has annual SS parade
Yep they do, it's called remembrance day.
Also check out this large list of latvian monuments to nazi collaborators.
WHAT? That is new to me.
It's been going on in baltics for a while. I wanted to say after their approval into NATO, but apparently it's been happening even before, just less obvious. Here's a wiki link, since I'm too lazy to find better sources.
Looking at some of the cope about them not being Nazis from the Wikipedia citations.
No legionnaire has ever been part of the German National Socialist Workers' Party.
Well then, I guess they simply can't be nazis.
Thanks for the link. The controversy section is spicy, considering the government does not officially recognise the date but people do.
De nada. Similar parades have been happening in Estonia as well. Media often whitewash it as "parade for [insert country] veterans, who fought for their country in the name of patriotism". Ignoring or obfuscating who they fought for and who they fought against.

Yes it is way too common a theme in western media at this point, obfuscation of things like conflict of interest. Never before in human history have we needed more critical analysis of news and media we consume, and the information flow is also in excess.
If you're still on reddit go here, they have plenty posts of how much nazism has spread in today Baltics (and how it used to be different in the past)
