Most of all I am thankful to all that will come next year. It is shaping up to be a year full of meaning.

I am thankful for much. My family and friends in the U.S. who have supported my work, complete strangers online who follow me, engage, and support me, and those in Ukraine who fight against a cruel world. Some of those Ukrainians I am even lucky enough to call my friends.

Nah, you can’t prove any pogrom happened because of Azov lol. (Not even wide spread violence.) Also... you’re going to discount one of the most well respected polling agencies in the world because “western” 😂 got it. Just that proves You’re a deeply unserious person. ✌🏻 I’ve seen all I need.

any ideological cohesion that was there crumbles in conditions like that. And we see that because things are different NOW.
November 26, 2024 at 8:12 PM
I’m sorry if you’re just finding out about this but things DO change. People who wanted to fight for their home joined the only people who were effective in fighting back, Azov. Not for anything ideological, but to fight off Russian funded troops (and Russians themselves.)

Why are you so insistent about talking about statements, reports, and figures that were relevant a decade ago? Is it because none of that fits today? No one denies the far right background that started Azov. We are talking about today though.

As for Azov, Jews have served in Azov for nearly a decade, there have not been any Jewish pogroms done by this unit, even when they were just a militia. Of course there will be antisemitism in every country. None is linked to a widespread group like Azov though.

My “pivot” was because you have nothing. PEW research shows that Ukraine is the least anti-Semitic country in central or Eastern Europe (Jewish leaders have agreed with this sentiment) Ukraine has a sitting Jewish president.

lol. Well you see, being a Nazi does kinda require hating Jews. That’s a distinct characteristic.
The fact that there basically hasn’t been any hatred or violence towards Jews in Azov or Ukraine disproves your claim.

I’m sorry you find facts to be “propaganda” and your weird narrative challenge.

In other words: You’re looking at sources that are almost a decade old and don’t fit the facts today. You haven’t acknowledge any of the reforms and deradicalization that HAS happened. (Those who critically study Azov have acknowledged this)

Why haven’t there ever been any Jewish pogroms by Azov?
