Look at lemmy.ml and they're on the verge of calling zelensky himself a nazi.

Accusing a Jew of being a nazi. I don't even know what to say....

To be fair, it wouldn't be unprecedented .

Not really on the verge, many of them have been justifying the invasion because of neozasim in Ukraine, which is indeed a problem, but Russian born Putinesque neofascism is probably not the cure for it.

Just so you understand, there has never even been neo-Nazism in Ukraine. And there was no "problem"; this problem was artificially spread by Russia.

These guys rose in popularity because they fought against Russian-backed rebel groups better, so in a sense previous comment is right

I don't understand how the fact that those neo-Nazis gained popularity in the current war, makes the previous comment, that negates the existence of neo-Nazism in Ukraine, correct.

If your enemy is a Jew and you hate Jews just call them self hating! Easy!

Weird that that’s getting downvotes. Especially when that’s the official Russian position.

It's not only the official position of Russia, it's the standard operating procedure for all kinds of people.
