The war is going great. 
Yet another horrifying scene which would be plastered all over network news if only it were happening in Russia instead.
It’s not “authoritarianism” if it’s happening in a US ally (or puppet).

My point is that this war is not about nazis, it’s just framed as such
Not about nazis, just gotta shove Azov battalion out of the way, tuck this ukrainian iron cross over there, some nordic runes, some swastikas… A lot of clean-up for the slava ukraini crowd to do, huh?
I’m sure it’s just a coincidence that Azov was elevated from a battalion to a regiment to a brigade, and now a corps, one of only two corps in the Ukraine national guard
Just a coincidence, much like the sonnenrads, totenkopfs, wolfsangels and other insignia that Ukrainian soldiers seem to love showing off on their uniforms and tattoos
Many such cases of Ukrainian units naming themselves after Waffen SS just a coincidence though, much like the youth camps where the kids play Hugo Boss dressup for graduation, much like the swastikas the western forces spray painted on houses in the Donbas
Meanwhile how’s Prigozhin doing these days? So many examples from the West Ukraine side, meanwhile it’s seemingly always vague references to rampant Nazism in Russia but I’ll wait for more concrete examples
Also somehow the war can’t be “about” Nazism while also pertaining to gas transshipment deals, like it can’t be multiple causes pertaining to different sections and strata of Russian society, or as though intervening on behalf of ethnic Russians is somehow a fake humanitarian intervention cover story and not, you know, entirely consistent with Russian nationalism
Meanwhile there are so many examples of Nazi-fascism on the western Ukrainian side that they just roll right off the tongue, just a coincidence though, both sides just as bad
