"Fuck off," comments Bohdan Krotevych, one of the Neo Nazi Azov Brigade's commanders, the post of Elon Musk.
Oligarch Akhmetov has just bought an elite apartment for Krotevych in Kyiv. Azov just became Zelensky's favorite unit.
War propaganda has just convinced the global community that Azov are not Nazis and that the Wolfsangel and Black Sun are "ancient Ukrainian symbols." And now, a "stab in the back". I don't even know how Musk will respond. Are the Starlinks still working?

See this is something I want to draw specific attention to, because its the new phenomena that has arisen in the past few years. I think its a really important sign of our times
The neoliberal world doesn't deny that Azov are Nazis. They just kind of.... deflect from it. Ignore it. Pretend it isn't a thing. Ban and silence people who bring it up.
Its like a weird emulation of the way asian cultures can just treat a subject as taboo even when its dancing naked in front of them.
I've seen the same topic play out over and over again in various circles. I like to interject when liberals circle around to scream that their enemies are Nazis to bring up they literally shipped heavy weapons to actual Nazis. But the response is never a denial, people
know Azov are Nazis, they know Azov are fighting our proxy war, they know we're arming Nazi war criminals. Its more like, anyone who dares to criticize that we're arming Nazis is a Russian apologist or troll. Nobody must be allowed to discuss it. Its something I'd describe as a propaganda vacuum, a void, an anti-talking point, a sort of internalized propaganda that requires you to squash the very thought of a topic like you're in Orwell's 1984. We're aren't being sold a big lie or fed disinformation, we're being told not to even think about a subject.
