Five years after the Maidan uprising, anti-Semitism and fascist-inflected ultranationalism are rampant.
Here's how Ukraine was being reported by the West before the war.
Today, increasing reports of far-right violence, ultranationalism, and erosion of basic freedoms are giving the lie to the West’s initial euphoria. There are neo-Nazi pogroms against the Roma, rampant attacks on feminists and LGBT groups, book bans, and state-sponsored glorification of Nazi collaborators.
These stories of Ukraine’s dark nationalism aren’t coming out of Moscow; they’re being filed by Western media, including US-funded Radio Free Europe (RFE); Jewish organizations such as the World Jewish Congress and the Simon Wiesenthal Center; and watchdogs like Amnesty International, Human Rights Watch, and Freedom House, which issued a joint report warning that Kiev is losing the monopoly on the use of force in the country as far-right gangs operate with impunity.
Five years after Maidan, the beacon of democracy is looking more like a torchlight march.
A neo-Nazi battalion in the heart of Europe
If you whitewash NAZI POGROMS just because you want to beat Russia, fuck you. Siding with far-right fascists to defeat far-right fascists doesn't make you the good guy. There is no lesser of two evils here.
If you dismiss any criticism of Ukraine as Russian propaganda, you might want to ask why the rest of the world, including the West, was concerned about Nazism in the area and then suddenly changed their tune only after the war started.
We should be getting both sides into peace negotiations, not prolonging the bloodshed and providing Nazis with illegal cluster bombs
I've collected a list of YouTube videos from western news sources on Ukraine's neo-nazi problem, I'm gonna post it whenever the topic comes up, others feel free to do the same
The US funding and arming far right militias as a means of attacking a geopolitical rival has historically always been a good idea and resulted in very few consequences
Its beyond my mind who you call yourself a communist while cheering on a racist facist colonizer at least china plays lip service to being communist Russia doesn't even pretend but you people will still larp for them
Show me links to prove this. I have read multiple interviews from Putin all the way down to soldiers on the front line who all say that this whole war is stupid because they see Ukrainians as their brothers. There are multiple ethnicities in Russia and somehow they manage to get along quite well.
facist
That's not how you spell the word "fascist." "Fascism" is a is a word with a meaning. It does not apply to Russia as it is now. Maybe don't use words that you don't understand and cant spell.
I hate Russia with every fiber of my being, but the US and EU supporting literal Nazis who don't even hide their psychotic beliefs is seriously messed up and it's why I can never understand this stupid conflict
Everyone in Eastern Europe has serious issues and they all seem made for each other
Your comment is pretty honest with what the West's endgame is here. Obviously that account is an alt and probably abandoned but viewers can learn from this toxic admission of truth:
-splinter and destroy Russia to restore the practice of shock doctrine to harvest the country of its labor and resources.
destroy China's BRI (Belt & Road Initiative) to unify Asia and Europe through rail and infrastructure
Focus on balkanizing China and harvesting their resources and labor once again.
Move on to Africa afterward, and renew an age of 18th-20th century American-European imperialism.
You are an abhorrent, racist, bloodthirsty piece of shit that can't even be called a human being. A hollow cuck to the elite motivated only by selfish greed. The word libertarian also applies.
See my profile, I’ve been arguing with a bad person about this for days. “But Russia is also bad, therefore I must pretend to be above the fray, even though all of my words and actions and thoughts support amerikkka!”
Fuck all Nazis, regardless of country. That being said, "denazification" was a disgusting lie told by an imperialist who has plenty of Nazi's living in his own country to deal with so he could commit cultural genocide.
look, zelensky is a jewish person who sees israeli apartheid as a model to be followed but i wouldn't go so far that as to say he wanted to do cultural genocide. it's just azov and the right sector who wanted to.
and as we all know azov and the far right militias are now in command of the ukrainian army / government. they don't exist anymore. so it's all good.
