  • I’m sorry. Being vitriolic and spreading more hate is the only right way to react

    Yeah so hate to break it to you but the real world isn’t like disney movies and there’s no holy battle between good and evil. Yes, I celebrate when active rapists and serial killers get killed and I also celebrate when fascists get killed.

    It’s not praxis but it’s still a nice bonus regardless because these are people actively inflicting harm on the actually innocent people whose lives you seem to completely trivialize. If you think that’s a bad thing your priorities are grossly misaligned.










  • I mean the Azov Batallion is a nazi organization. This is commonly accepted knowledge and a result of Stepan Bandera (a nazi who wanted independence from the Soviet Union) being the primary driver of nationalist sentiment in Ukraine. The western media just want to pretend like the fact that they ‘only’ run the propaganda for the National Guard isn’t bad enough to make every soldier a nazi.

    …And that’s a fair point but irrelevant to whether the Ukrainian military has fascist sympathies. Imperialist wars are always motivated by capitalist interests and fought with the blood of workers. The question is who’s material interests those workers are serving, wittingly or no. The Ukrainian ministry is giving a lot of power very specifically to the tiny militia of Azov Batallion which I think answers that question.

    Finally, yes it’s also Russian propaganda but that says more about the west than Russia. If the Kremlin can invade a country and make itself look like it has the moral highground while doing it using commonly accepted facts you really fucked up. They might not be on the right side of history, but you are on the really really far outer edge of the wrong side of it.
