    I don’t think I am grasping the Ukraine point yet. Aren’t there nazis in Russia too? Doesn’t the entire world have a nazi problem? Fuck Nazis. Aren’t there a lot of people in Ukraine who also hate Nazis and now are being killed “for being a nazi”?

        Could the same be said about the Wagner group on the Russia side? I think funding a nazi group is abhorrent.

        I think I remember hearing about the Ukraine group and I think that’s a total misstep on their part entirely.

            You are laughing at me but I am genuinely asking questions since that’s all I know.

            I’ve been trying to look into things and everything I’ve been reading says that the founder of the Wagner group was a Nazi.

            https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dmitry_Utkin

            I would imagine if the founder of a group is a neo nazi then the group itself is quite Nazi-esque unless you have differing sources I would love to see.

              yeah, as far as i know (which might not be much) Wagner is a pretty indefensible group of far-right mercs who just so happened to be killing people in Ukraine and supported by NATO (many of whom are also nazis)

                That’s what I heard so I was trying to verify that. It just seems hypocritical from the “denazification” perspective which is why I brought it up. Also thanks for talking to me and not just memeing at me.

                • Damn, he was just a kid. Wow airplane crash. Natural causes so to say. An act of god. Accident.

                  Say, I have heard it suggested that the notorious Bad Man, vladolf putler sometimes kills his enemies and frames the murders as accidents. Do you think he might have had something to do with mr utkins untimely death?

                    I don’t know? You are memeing at me but I don’t know? I haven’t seen anything about his death other than it was an accident and that Putin denied anything. Do you have something saying otherwise?

                    I still don’t see the relevance though. Could a group founded by a Nazi have Nazi ideology in it?
