Have you guys heard about Chinese gutter oil?

Of course, I am even a victim long time back I am sure. This is not endemic to China but they are made famous due to reasons.
It happened regularly in Malaysia, Indonesia , Vietnam and Thailand in the past and in smaller cities and provinces and in poorer parts of the main city.
I mean hey, it's a third world country.

Kind of an anecdote. Yesterday a video surfaced on Twitter of a man assaulting a trans gender woman in Lviv, West Ukraine. Video went viral, wont post it as it shows violence but you can easily find it. A day later apparently the tranny and the assailant made a video with him basically saying sorry and he will be more thoughtful about trans women. The hilarity of the subsequent video is the assailant basically talks about his "right wing" orientation and brags about how his grandfather was a scout for SS-Galicia (Ukraine's NAZI faction that fought for the Germans in WW2).

It's pretty incredible how many of these seemingly random people that are openly bragging about about being Nazis or having those affiliations. Since when is that not a stigma, wtf?

Video of the subsequent apology:

you should edit the term traxxxy some triggered person might report you for discrimination. Use Transgender or trans person.

This was a good way to talk about culture wars while tying it back in to the war in ukraine. well done!

Here is a video, and keeping it relevant - the west vs east is a culture war, where one side wants to force its ideas onto the other. this is part of the problem.

He's probably talking about his background/environment which influenced his claimed alignment of being "right wing"
on a side note i found on wiki that
" the Galizien Division has not specifically been found guilty of any war crimes by any war tribunal or commission."

Imho: If he was a "real nazi" he would never have made the apologies video you linked. They are both funny, it sounds like a big change is happening in Ukraine.
This said i guess Dedovshchina, beating homosexuals, and anti-gay laws are pretty much not a progress - to keep it cool

Ty for clarifying that not all Nazis are bad, only those that have explicitly been found guilty of some war crimes.

Very interesting shift we're experiencing in the world today.

You will be surprised what some sites are saying in regards to Nazis right now. They are actually not blaming them for the atrocities and horrors that they did.
They are blaming them for their incompetence. The world is really changing.

"its ok to be a nazi if you get away with it" is a terrible, terrible stance to take.

You should be ashamed of yourself .

The link you posted goes on to elaborately describe massacres of Poles by Galicia troops - do these not constitute terrible acts that should be universally condoned?

Your pivot is decent but I am suspecting that many Ukrainians joined Nazis only to fight against the Staline's Holomordor & Gulag hiphop style...
Btw I noticed that homosexuality was decriminalized in 1917 and then recriminalized in 1933... (by Staline)
Then it was decriminalized again in 1993 and... Well Putin is definitley trying to get old good times back.



Read above.
