But somehow, Ukraine, with its Jewish president and uniquely low participation of the far right in politics, is the problem country. It's really not hard to see it as the disinfo it is, if you use your brain and the gift of google. It also helps if your leftists values don't shift topic to topic

Netherlands keeps voting in far right time after time. This year in polish presidential elections, 6% of Poles voted for a Holocaust denying freak who thinks Israel is secretly building underground command centre in central Poland, to "turn the country into next Palestine".

Yes, there's Nazis in Ukraine, as they are everywhere. Europe has a far right problem. Last month in Portugal, a man offered a cash prize to people willing to kill Brazillians living in the country. Italy is ruled by a woman so much to the right that Mussolini's granddaughter noped out of her party.

So now there's queer people in fucking New Jersey or whatever with "anti-imperialist" in bio repeating verbatim propaganda about Ukraine, coming from an imperialist state where it's illegal to say you're gay. And, boy, do they have strong feelings about how bad, bad these Ukrainians are!

It's easier to believe an invasion is justified, if you're told it's done to bad, bad people. "Denazification of Ukraine" was neccessary to justify invasion in 2022 and subsequent war crimes. This lie, obvious to anyone familiar with the region, found fertile ground the farther it traveled.

Ukrainians. USSR famously smeared the Hungarian communists who rebelled against soviet imperialism in 1956 as "hitlerites", as soviet tanks rolled through the streets, massacring workers. Some western communists believed the lie and celebrated the soviet invasion. Thus the term "tankie" was born.

bad, bad people and no one sees mass kidnappings of children as a problem when you say their parents are so horrible their whole culture shouldn't exist. This of course was not new-"Ukrainians are Nazis" disinfo popped up before annexation of Crimea in 2014 too. As a tactic it's also not specific to

In 2022, when Russia invaded Ukraine, they did so under the guise of "denazification" of their neighbour. The state propaganda went hard in on it, trying to convince people both inside and outside of Russia. After all, soldiers are happier to go into the meat grinder when convinced they're fighting

you’re starting to argue with yourself so im going to just let you do that lol

you came into this thread calling other anarchists warmongers and i still engaged with you in good faith despite you comparing ukrainIANS TO THE BOERS LMAO but you’re trying so hard to have an opinion on a conflict you don’t understand happening in a part of a world you don’t live in that

have you considered Ukrainian anarchists join the army bc their homes are bombed and they dont want to live under far-right totalitarian occupation, not bc they secretly support their state’s involvement in Middle East?

bc some Fins, Estonians and Poles live on stolen native land in the americas”?

you’re so inclined to paint Ukrainians as fair game you bring up irrelevant examples of settler colonial states before conceding that they’re not relevant bc Ukraine isn’t one. you’re going to eventually end up at “if Putin decides to keep expanding his invasion we should let it happen,
