There are really no words for someone like this. Except "face the wall" maybe

    This might be a bit account but there are plenty of fascists running around in UA that genuinely, sincerely believe this with no trace of irony or self awareness.

    Perrenial reminder that the OUN-B, Bandera's fascist outfit, never had more than 20k members, and the UPA insurgency never had more than 100k. Meanwhile there were between 4 million and 7 million comrades from Ukraine in the Red Army and I hope most of them passed peacefully before they could see what has been done to their country.

      Also important to remember is that the West helped a lot of OUN, etc. members escape to the US and especially Canada, then helped and their wretched spawn gain power in post Soviet Ukraine. Mass support for Banderism didn't just sprout up completely organically in modern Ukraine.

        Yeah, I follow Banderalobby.substack.com and they're all about keeping track of Banderites in North America and what they're up to around the world. It's certainly interesting and gives some perspective on what's happened. They had very interesting post when that Canadian vice-PM or whatever turned up at a photo op and received a Blood and Soil scarf from an OUN-B group.
