    Zelenskyy hangs out with the Nazi founder of the Azov Battalion, the guy who once said Ukraine's mission was to "lead the white races of the world in a final crusade...against Semite-led Untermenschen”. He also publicly wears clothes made by a Ukrainian company that also makes patches featuring Nazi symbols.

      Which puts him on one level with Hitler? Do you expect pogroms and stuff anytime soon? I'm not defending Ukraine but comparing it with nazi Germany is where I draw the line.

        Are you completely unaware of what has been done to Roma people in Ukraine? The burning of camps? The public beatings? Or the terror campaigns that were carried out near the start of the war?

        i don't know if they are "pogroms" but they are some predecessor to it https://www.hrw.org/news/2021/11/29/radicals-target-roma-people-ukraine

        excerpt "Roma people in Ukraine often face violence, but official investigations rarely produce outcomes. No one has been held accountable for the 2017 murder of Mykola Kaspitsky, leader of Roma community in Kharkiv region. Earlier this year, the case was closed for the fourth time, over concerns that police were attempting to sabotage it."

            Ah I thought that was indicated on profiles. I guess not for federated accounts? Disappointing as it doesn't give me any opportunity to post the things I intended to post in follow up. I've got to change my entire posting style under the assumption that I'll only get one response and won't get a back and forth, but that is less effective in my experience.
