Welcome to c/news! Please read the Hexbear Code of Conduct and remember... we're all comrades here.

Rules:

-- PLEASE KEEP POST TITLES INFORMATIVE --

-- Overly editorialized titles, particularly if they link to opinion pieces, may get your post removed. --

-- All posts must include a link to their source. Screenshots are fine IF you include the link in the post body. --

-- If you are citing a twitter post as news please include not just the twitter.com in your links but also nitter.net (or another Nitter instance). There is also a Firefox extension that can redirect Twitter links to a Nitter instance: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/libredirect/ or archive them as you would any other reactionary source using e.g. https://archive.today . Twitter screenshots still need to be sourced or they will be removed --

-- Mass tagging comm moderators across multiple posts like a broken markov chain bot will result in a comm ban--

-- Repeated consecutive posting of reactionary sources, fake news, misleading / outdated news, false alarms over ghoul deaths, and/or shitposts will result in a comm ban.--

-- Neglecting to use content warnings or NSFW when dealing with disturbing content will be removed until in compliance. Users who are consecutively reported due to failing to use content warnings or NSFW tags when commenting on or posting disturbing content will result in the user being banned. --

-- Using April 1st as an excuse to post fake headlines, like the resurrection of Kissinger while he is still fortunately dead, will result in the poster being thrown in the gamer gulag and be sentenced to play and beat trashy mobile games like 'Raid: Shadow Legends' in order to be rehabilitated back into general society. --

Snip:

"Farion was a member of ‘Svoboda’ (Freedom), formerly known as the Social-National Party of Ukraine, led by neo-Nazi Oleg Tyagnibok. She expressed open sympathy for WWII neo-Nazi collaborator Stepan Bandera."

Someone just shot her dead. Unclear at this point if it was anti-fascist resistance or a rival Neo-Nazi Banderite grouping that killed her. She was such an extreme Neo-Nazi that she even accused Russian-speaking Banderites of not being "true Ukrainians" and made many enemies.

While in parliament, she championed a total ban on the use of Russian language in Ukraine. In January last year, she famously told the media that her grandson Dmitry was hitting Russian-speaking children at his kindergarten. Several months later, she called anyone who lived in Ukraine but did not speak Ukrainian “biological waste.”

This hard line led her to clash with other nationalists. Last November, Farion said that Russian-speaking members of ‘Azov’ were not proper Ukrainians, drawing the ire of Maksim Zhorin and Bogdan Krotevich, two veterans of the notorious neo-Nazi unit.

LMAO she was too much of a nazi for Azov

The Nazis were too Nazi for the Nazis; I recall reading (okay okay, it was a youtube video; we can't all be nerds who spend our whole lives reading) about Hitler apparently getting upset that someone (in his cabinet?) engaging in historical study of German history because he was embarrassed by his ancestors who were (technologically) inferior to the Romans and the Geeks and didn't want it to be aired publicly.

Nazism requires willful ignorance to make it seem cool to its followers, similarly to for example the (gay?) division of Nazis who apparently envisioned themselves as being akin to the Spartan warriors of old and thought that as they had no interest in women, that the other Nazis would be free to pursue women with no competition from them and they would be welcomed. Their head was also a(n old?) friend of Hitler's and had not expected that he'd be arrested (by Hitler no less) and executed. Lots of Nazis who think Nazis practice inclusiveness.

that was Himmler, he got really into paganism and wanted it to be the state faith of the reich so he would fund expedition to research ancient civilization including old german barbarian sites, hitler became mad there was no evidence of ancient advance german civilization so he hated his archeological reports and would latter made up stories about how for example the spartans werent greek but rather aryans/early germans

This is mighty ironic considering that Spartans become showbusiness for Roman tourist and ultimately ran off from Greece entirely before the invading Slavs.

Angering the militant skinheads when your country is in the middle of being invaded seems particularly stupid

Then again, she ~~is~~ was a Nazi
