I mean the anecdotal evidence and authoritative sources documenting it are all piles of evidence, but I still maintain that its just a matter of logic and deduction. What we can infer from the facts like Ukraine not disavowing its Nazis, their overwhelming representation in pro-Ukrainian propaganda and social media war feeds, the existence of elected officials who are overt Nazis, their formal status as a military organization, the fact the US is arming them. In any rational world where the west is propping up a resistance and there's just 'a few bad apples' who happen to be Nazis, we'd sweep them under the rug and write them off. We wouldn't give them fawning press coverage and rewrite the rules on major websites to allow pro-Nazi posts that were universally banworthy until we magically aligned with Nazis overnight. If I click on grass roots war footage and dig up twitter/reddit/facebook accounts from the war, I wouldn't be instantly bombarded with Nazi symbology featured prominently by folks with SS tattoos.
I mean, really now;
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8JOpPNra4bwNazis in 1930s-1940s wanted to take over the world and killed millions of jews, that and not strictly their ideology was what made them the bad guys.
Russians in today aren't THE bad guys, but they're bad guys. and they invaded a sovereign nation to put a cherry on top.
when those same ukranian nazi officials start to preheat the ovens we can talk, until then maybe u can say why liberal-esque labeling theory has worked so well on you.

I think at this point it's fear mongering, but as the west continues to arm Ukraine with billions of dollars worth of hardware, what are the chances the Russians actually start deploying small scale tactical nukes? I mean most of us didn't think they would invade as that was an escalation, if this drags on for months, I would think such weapons could possibly be in play?
imo if they do we still dont respond in kind, we just go full on embargo and maybe even china/india get on board. scary stuff tho.
