Ukrainian neo-Nazi mocks Auschwitz victims
www.rt.com
Social media users have called out a member of a nationalist Ukrainian brigade for posting images that appear to praise Nazi genocide

A Ukrainian Neo-Nazi soldier visited the Auschwitz death camp wearing a shirt quoting Hitler in order to mock the camp’s victims. This is the type of truly fascist scum that billions and billions of US taxpayer dollars are going to fund and arm.

      i like your coy avoidance. dude’s an open banderite. that’s a nazi. that’s what i mean when i say people like him.

      so anyway, why did zelensky’s totally not a nazi government pick a blatant nazi to be one of their ambassadors? why was he not fired and buried in a pit when he displayed his naziness to the whole world? why was he just recalled and sent to another country to continue to be a nazi ambassador?

      this doesnt sound like a country that’s on top of it’s supposedly tiny nazi minority. a country that lets them shell the donbass for years, seemingly unable or unwilling to stop them. a country that seems to always picks nazis (tattoos, patches) for its army PR pictures.

      oh, and there’s this also to prove how tiny the nazi minority is in ukraine: 31% of them approve of bandera. 76% percent of those who live in western Ukraine have a positive opinion towards Bandera (https://www.kyivpost.com/post/7138).

      but Nazi parties are still a super tiny minority (like Right Sector) and so are the Nazi battalions who got incorporated into the army

      lol, peak liberal brain. These heavily-armed Nazi groups are incorporated into the army and people don’t vooooooooooot for them, surely they have no power.

          They basically already did in 2014 with US backing, see that one video where an Ukronazi is gloating about how even though all the Western media talked about was how Nazis were a minority in Euromaidan, without them it would’ve been ”like a gay parade” (his words).

          Even if the Nazis are a relatively small portion of the population, they have lots of weapons and have been training (including indoctrinating children as reported by Western media) for years, it’s not exactly far fetched to say they can use the threat of violence get their way.

          If someone claims that Nazism is basically mainstream culture, then it only makes sense to see that reflected into elected parties

          You do realize the parties “elected” are the one pushing Banderism and approving the incorporation of neo-nazi militias into high ranking positions in the police abd military, the fuckin Azov militias are literally a special forces bridgade now, you think that happens without goverment sanction? A party doesn’t have to call itself the New Nazi Jew Killer party to be a nazi party, Zelensky’s party is a nazi party
