Here’s how Ukraine was being reported by the West before the war.
Today, increasing reports of far-right violence, ultranationalism, and erosion of basic freedoms are giving the lie to the West’s initial euphoria. There are neo-Nazi pogroms against the Roma, rampant attacks on feminists and LGBT groups, book bans, and state-sponsored glorification of Nazi collaborators.
These stories of Ukraine’s dark nationalism aren’t coming out of Moscow; they’re being filed by Western media, including US-funded Radio Free Europe (RFE); Jewish organizations such as the World Jewish Congress and the Simon Wiesenthal Center; and watchdogs like Amnesty International, Human Rights Watch, and Freedom House, which issued a joint report warning that Kiev is losing the monopoly on the use of force in the country as far-right gangs operate with impunity.
Five years after Maidan, the beacon of democracy is looking more like a torchlight march. A neo-Nazi battalion in the heart of Europe
If you whitewash NAZI POGROMS just because you want to beat Russia, fuck you. Siding with far-right fascists to defeat far-right fascists doesn’t make you the good guy. There is no lesser of two evils here.
If you dismiss any criticism of Ukraine as Russian propaganda, you might want to ask why the rest of the world, including the West, was concerned about Nazism in the area and then suddenly changed their tune only after the war started.
We should be getting both sides into peace negotiations, not prolonging the bloodshed and providing Nazis with illegal cluster bombs
This is my favorite thing y’all do. When you’re presented something from a source you normally would trust on other subjects, but because it contradicts your preconceived notions its “insane”.
Libs always reveal themselves to be homophobic (stop sucking Putin’s dick) or ableist (you are fucking insane) when you push them hard enough.
I try to be fair about that second one because while I try to do so I haven’t cut “insane” out of my vocabulary either, but you’re right.
To be fair having beliefs that are not based in and are actually counter to material reality is pretty much the definition of insanity.
Saying something or someone is “insane” is a recognition that their beliefs are contrary to your own to such a degree that there is no reconciling them.
Sanity is a social construct based on shared belief and as such the lines are blurred on what is and is not sane, eg. in a evangelical christian setting belief in evolution is “insane.”
Also it was from a Russian lead grupe while Russia had the secretary General position
It appears that you are indeed that far up your ass. McCarthyite levels of paranoia and delusion.
Like they painted all the walls red at the general assembly.
