Russia is the real source of fascism. As I mentioned elsewhere, today I met with an old colleague who lives in Russia. He repeats any/all political propaganda he sees on TV. Somewhere in-between his going on and on about how Obama's administration is comprised of a bunch of homosexuals, he mentions at one point that the Ukrainian government is full of Nazis. Then the next thing he starts talking about right after that is that western civilization is coming to an end because whites are not reproducing enough and as a result are being replaced by non-whites in USA and Europe.

Really it was an intriguing though horrifying confusion of ideas, courtesy of Russia.

USA is the real source of fascism. As I mentioned elsewhere, today I met with an old colleague who lives in USA. He repeats any/all political propaganda he sees on TV. Somewhere in-between his going on and on about how Biden’s administration is comprised of a bunch of homosexuals, he mentions at one point that the Russian government is full of Nazis. Then the next thing he starts talking about right after that is that Russian civilization is coming to an end because not enough superimperialist capitalist slavery and as a result are being colonised by "authoritarians" in Russia and China.

Really it was an intriguing though horrifying confusion of ideas, courtesy of Westerners.

You should have noticed what I did there, and most things do seem true, funnily.

Believing America has a monopoly on being evil is just another kind of American exceptionalism.

Yes I am an American exceptionalist... in an alternate dimension. In the past 400 or so years, we have seen only 2 countries having a solid duopoly on evil, that has transcended any evils that happened in ancient human history.

Cant see the video, but can you tell me why these guys fight side by side with azov nazis? Would be much easier to shoot them instead of getting decimated by artillery.

I guess in this case fighting against the commen greater enemy is more important in the current situation.

Are you suggesting, that this anti-facist group should shoot the azov nazis?

[–] comfy@lemmy.ml 0 points 2 years ago (1 children)

A group calling themselves anti-fascist generally should shoot a group that is neo-nazi, yes.

Well at least you've now discovered that Ukraine is not made up of neo nazis

[–] TheAnonymouseJoker@lemmy.ml -4 points 2 years ago

It is, though, besides the citizen faction of society. The power structures have Nazis everywhere, not neo Nazis. They are literal descendants of Stepan Bandera and Hitler.
