    The people with swastikas on their chest are Nazis if anyone is. Joe billy Bob the chicken farmer that has a mutual aid network but voted for Trump because Dems have never paid attention to him is not a Nazi.

    It’s disingenuous to pretend there’s not a difference.

      It is also disingenuous to label Ukrainians as Nazis, just because a couple of them are. Just like there are in every other country, be it Russia or USA.

        Except in Ukraine the Nazis hold power, because the US installed a far-right puppet regime that refuses to hold elections. Now they’re spending millions erecting monuments of famous Nazis.

          I’m not saying Zelenskyy is an angel, but the constitution literally forbids elections during war. Pick a better reason to criticize the government, there are plenty real ones.

            You believe constitutionally enshrining authoritarianism to be an adequate defense of it?

            Did the constitution also make him ban all opposition parties and media?

        Given their history it’s like Germans with Nazi tattoos. Yeah a few might exist, but if the government starts actively recruiting them you might paint with a wider brush.

        Never again means never again, and God damn did Ukrainians love the Nazis in WWII.

          Saying that the government is “actively recruiting” them is also disingenuous, because it makes it sound like Nazis were specifically desired and chosen, as opposed to some recruits just turned out to be vaguely Nazis. Battalions of vaguely Nazi dudes exist in Russia, yet nobody is trying to denazify Russians.

          And if you mean that the initial not so negative reaction of Ukrainians, hopeful that the Germans would free them from Russian oppression makes them Nazis, then, again, you’re being disingenuous. In the end Ukrainians had the most casualties fighting the war against Nazis. Nobody is currently calling Finns Nazis, even though they didn’t oppose them for similar reasons (getting back at Russia for oppression).

            My dude ukes killed more Jews than nearly any other group from Eastern Europe. They weren’t cautiously optimistic, they actively volunteered and aided Nazis. This isn’t even controversial history.
