The Left In The Us Is Really Diverse
This is honestly the first I’m seeing of “All of Ukraine is a Nazi state”. I’ve heard nazi mutterings in comments before but I don’t really follow Ukraine like that apparently. Do you have some suggested reading for someone with an open mind to the facts?
2014 was a Nazi-led putsch, it integrated all neo-Nazi militias into the army and promoted them as generals and leadership. It installed Nazis into positions of secretary of the interior, governors of oblasts, chief of police, mayors and all other levels of civil and military governance. They then went on to ban Russian language and remove all soviet monuments and names, replacing them with pro-Bandera and pro-SS “heroes” of WW2.
Up and down, top to bottom, the entire thing is an American led neo-Nazi project that’s intended as a battering ram against Russia from the outset
Nazis in Ukraine are almost a state-within-a-state. Not everyone in the Ukrainian government or military is a Nazi, but the Nazis are a dominant force.
If you fight alongside a Nazi you are a Nazi. All of the Ukrainian state is therefore Nazis for going along with the goose stepping fascists and aiding them.
Just like American soldiers are terrorists and Daesh because it is them who created, fund, arm, train and facilitate Daesh.
true, but a lemmy user unfamiliar with our takes is not going to infer that’s what we mean. They go off back to lemmy and repeat our take secondhand to other people, those people will tear into it because they also won’t infer what we mean or give us the benefit of the doubt, and then the person starts to lose confidence in what we have to say.
