  • Wagner group alone is a neonazi organization that had tens of thousands of members just a few years ago, an order of magnitude more than the famous Azov brigade. And it’s literally named after Hitler’s favourite composer.

    Neonazis are only an issue for Putin when they can be used as justification for war. Otherwise, they don’t matter.


  • Yes because Russia isn’t always looking for justification for war.

    There are multiple countries in Eastern Europe that likely would no longer be independent without NATO. My own home among them.

    Neighbours that aren’t in an alliance seem to get invaded. Georgia first, now Ukraine twice.

    Russia always finds a genocide or whatever to justify military action. Both Georgia and Ukraine were mentioned as targets all the way back in 1997.

    And when your kind says the things your kind often says, I think you can see why more moderate people consider you about equivalent with the nazis. What to most people means “doesn’t hate minorities and wants everyone to have healthcare” is what tankies seem to hate much more than they hate actual fascists.

    Horseshoe seems pretty real tbh.

    Liberal in modern western political discourse has little to do with capitalism anymore and more about your stance on social issues like LGBT rights, racial equality or healthcare. Half of lemmy pretends not to understand it for some reason but it’s been like that for a few decades.

    It’s the result of conservatives using “libtard” and “communist” interchangeably for everyone to the left of Reagan while by the old definition they’re actually liberals.

    Languages evolve. Prescriptivism is useless.
