Where do you think this oikophobia that leads to Putin simping comes from?
I mean, the liberal elites of the West are the textbook example of oikophobia, their policies gave rise to the alt-right in the first place. This war is splitting the far-right anyway, with the more traditional elements (hardcore conservatives, oldschool nationalists, neonazis) siding with Ukraine and the more recent elements (alt-right, alt-light) siding with Putin.
Like I've said, some people have just grown so accustomed to reflexively opposing anything their government or the media mainstream supports that they aren't even realizing how they regurgitate Russian propaganda and excuse a war of aggression.

Less than 10-20% of the actual Third Reich's soldiers were ideological extremists willing to slaughter jews. Most were just german common folk serving their country. Imagine trying to dismiss widespread degeneracy or monstrosity by claiming "only 10-20% of our soldiers are pedophile rapists" or "only 10-20% of our soldiers are cannibals"
Does the bolded also apply to Russian troops who are raping minors left and right in Ukraine, who are shelling hospitals and residential areas and civilian train stations full of refugees, who are deliberately stealing grain and blocking sea ports so that famines in Africa and the ME put pressure on Europe?
Imagine being so deluded that you see pictures and reports of the war in Ukraine and then the first thing you write about is the "widespread degeneracy and monstrosity"... on the
Ukrainian side, while saying no word about the pervasive Russian war crimes.

Sorry Goom, you're one of my favorite posters on PaRD and I agree with your takes the vast majority of the time, and I hope you don't take this personal... but holy fuck has this topic fried your brain.

Besides the question of whether than untestable diminishing figure is true, its just ridiculous. If Nazis are so common you can throw a stick in the air and it lands on a Nazi because even your leader keeps tweeting pictures of Nazi troops, then you are Nazis. And as I've said before, nobody identifying with nazism or the SS in 2022 is doing it solely out of duty to their country or shared nationalism. You have to be a demented radicalized degenerate to embrace Nazism.
Why are you so exclusively focused on (real or supposed) nazism on the Ukrainian side? If nazism on both sides cancels out, what's left is still a brutal war of aggression and widespread atrocities against innocent, non-nazi civilians. Even if the Russian propaganda about Ukraine being filled to the brim with nazis was true (it isn't, not to this extent), the Russians would still be in no position to blast Ukraine over it.
