Is it really that hard to contextualize this kind of stuff? Half of Ukraine had been starved to death by Stalin when the Nazis invaded. Forced to choose between two awful sides, it made perfect sense at the time for the Ukrainian ultranationalists to alilgn with the Nazis against Stalin. From there, it's not hard to see how this thing took on a life of its own and how Nazi symbolism and imagery became a staple of Ukraine's ultranationalist movement.
When an Ukrainian rube born in 1999 wears a swastika tattoo, this doesn't necessarily have to imply that he wants to gas the Jews and gypsies, or that he wants Europe to be ruled by a thousand year Reich headquartered in Berlin, lol. I mean, look at these guys - they're not exactly scholars who have arrived at their political worldview from an intellectual angle after judiciously studying the history books and intellectually thinking things through. :rolleyes:
We discussed this to death with you - but you still keep peddling factual inconsistencies and propaganda:
1) 1930s hunger was not unique to territories of modern Ukraine.
2) Eastern Ukraine - where overwhelming majority of Nazis were from was under Poland at the time - they cannot have grievances against Soviets for being governed by Poland.
3) Your beloved “nationalists” literally murdered everyone they considered subhuman - Ukranians, Polish, Jews, Russians, Rusyns, Hungarians, Belarusians. They should have all faced justice for their crimes - instead they were allowed to flee to Canada after the war.
4) Most of the “ukranian rubes born in 1999 with swastika tatoos” have social media accounts in 2026 where they elaborate in great length what they want to do to jews, gays, black people and everybody else they consider subhuman. You are welcome to educate yourself if you think it’s Russian propaganda.
5) in these little social media blogs they have - they literally write about creating a new reich and fighting for the white race against semite led untermenschen.
I’ve literally copy pasted so many of these here on jsp I lost count.
It really worries me that this is being normalized and peddled as “uh well they are fighting the russkies, shall we give them a break?”.
