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. :rofl:
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.
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.
Noam Chomsky is suffering from the same ailment. When you subscribe to contrarianism as the end all, be all belief when it comes to American foreign policy, you have to take some really stupid positions sometimes.
