Ah yes, the authoritarian Nazi... Jew who is president of Ukraine.
Are you here from Hexbear or something?
LGBT Nazi Jews aggressively defending their own country from genocide.
The Advocate, known for supporting Nazis.

EDIT: Oooh this triggered some people. Fight my words, don’t blithely downvote bc I’m outside the orthodoxy. Naziesque/ultranationist Telegram channels below, and yes they are all actively fighting in AFU
Meat Squad, seemingly dead channel, but members openly displayed swastika tattoos
War Hatred, was heavily involved in defense of Bahkmut, now forming an ultranationalist paramilitary militia outside AFU oversight. Black sun openly on display.
————-
Ukraine absolutely has an undercurrent of far-right, ultra nationalism in its populace, and yes there are definitely Nazis in the AFU who get excused with a wink because they tend to also be part of very effective units. I can link you to multiple Telegram channels where borderline Nazi/white supremacist iconography is displayed openly, and the commenters encourage it
I’m tired of seeing Black Suns^ and Totenkopfs^ drawn and placed on gear we provide them, let alone the gear and weapons the Ukrainians provide to the Russian separatists- who are openly white supremacist
Azov battalion cleaned their most problematic leadership in like 2022 before they were folded into the AFU, but their founding leader was invited back from exile in Turkey last fall
Ukraine has a budding far-right problem, and will continue to do so as long as they look the other way. Slava Ukraini, but fuck dude there is a problem there that needs addressing outside of shutting down low effort Russian trolls
^ Yes I know it’s not 100% a Nazi icon. It’s a huuuge dog whistle though
If America drafted the US population today sure as shit they would sweep up an inordinate number of nazis. Does that make America fasict?
Never said that Ukraine, the Kyiv leadership, AFU or any organization was fascist. There’s an undercurrent of far-right nationalism that they have been reluctant to fully address, and there’s open evidence these actors are recruiting
Same could be said about the US.
Then we both have work to do… Or are you saying that it’s not a problem?
It is a problem. The discussion is about how you think it’s okay for Russia to invade Ukraine due to the Nazis in its populace, but you won’t say the same thing about America even though it’s in the exact same situation.
You are a hypocrite.
Criticism of their blind eye to far-right & ultranationalist wings does not mean I think Russia is justified lol Grow up and understand what nuance is, I’ve been supporting Ukrainian self determination throughout this conflict.
Yrs it is and you may as well have saved the typing. They’re not gang-jumping your comment yet, so I’m impressed.
No I just have an attention span longer than five minutes. You accuse me of trolling with a troll. Nazi, fascist, all the same; unless you argue Israel couldn’t possibly be genociding Palestinians and bibi isn’t a fascist because such a statement is antisemitic. In which case tell Noam, he probably cares more than I do about your false accusations.
Sure, the Nazi fascist that The Advocate supports.
One of those pro-LGBT+ Jewish Nazis.
Why do you keep using social virtue signals to prove you’re right? People can be right about one thing and wrong about another. You and certain other users gang-dragged me before and I stuck by my position, agree with you on others and I’m not worried you disagree, using only insults and social virtue signaling to do. I said what I said. I dummy agree with taxpayer dollars supporting fascism, at home or abroad.
I see, pointing out that the premier LGBT+ publication in the U.S. probably wouldn't support a Nazi is 'virtue signals.'
Also, 'gang-dragged?' Do you think we got together and coordinated or something?
Also also, please quote me insulting you- or was that a lie?
Yes; idk but it’s certainly hive mind; so your asking if I was from a certain server wasn’t an insult in your mind, nor your whole holier-than-thou condescending tone in all the posts past and present, wrt the same topic: disingenuous at best, sure. Here, this user said it all, after the first time you particular three brigaded Mr the first time I expressed myself wrt funding Nazis, I resolved to no longer waste time defending my position:, but this user thoughtfully used a lot of time to make good points, which probably won’t phase you. https://lemm.ee/comment/9122407
Wait... so you think we're literally psychically linked? Because, believe it or not, I don't even know who else you're talking about when you say "you particular three."
Also, that user did not claim Zelensky is a Nazi. You did. You have done nothing to support that claim. Maybe do that rather than claim I insulted you when I didn't and implying I have ESP.
You’re an immature child making wild accusations and putting words in my mouth. Goodbye.
Let's see... The three claims I made in that post...
You said Zelensky was a Nazi. You did. https://kbin.social/m/[email protected]/t/825852/-/comment/5093641
You claimed I insulted you. You did. https://kbin.social/m/[email protected]/t/825852/-/comment/5100485
You implied I had ESP. You did. https://kbin.social/m/[email protected]/t/825852/-/comment/5100689
So I'm not sure which ones of those are wild or where I put words in your mouth. I'm also not sure why you have to lie like that.
Furthermore, I'm not sure why you would indignantly accuse me of insulting you, deny you accused me of insulting you, then insult me by calling me an immature child.
Did she?
Didn't you?
Did she?
Nice try, but unfortunately for you, I'm able to read.
Also, I notice you didn't address the whole 'immature child' thing right after complaining about me insulting her. I guess you think it's okay when she does it but not okay when you decide I do.
You've been spending way too much time with Trump supporters if you think whataboutism is a valid rhetorical technique used by adults.
Pointing out your hypocritical double-standard is not whataboutism. Sorry.
I didn't apply a hypocritical double standard. You made a false claim and used whataboutism to deflect when I pointed it out.
Okay, you're welcome to believe that.
The fact remains that Zelensky is not a Nazi.
Of course he isn't. Did you click the link to the source I provided about actual Nazis in the Ukraine military?
Your link was not relevant to the person I was talking to's claim that Zelensky was a Nazi.
Noam? Noam Chomsky, noted genocide denier?
