    The war in Ukraine has managed to rehabilitate and mainstream fascist ideology in a way that the Charlottesville goobers could have only wished for. Harm reduction my asshair

      The war didn't rehabilitate Nazis. US and the West have been trying to rehabilitate nazism since the cold War era , after 1990s they got a full fledged dominance over media, culture and narrative. Remember Timothy snyder bloodlands, Anne applebuam and etc. They are Russophobic writers spreading anti communism and anti Russia sentiment throughout 2010s. The war just exposed the pro Nazi sentiment of the west and the anti Russia narrative that is dominant in the Atlantic states.

        The analogy I use is that the war in Ukraine just turned up the heat and pressure on the west, causing them to become even more concentrated in what they already were. They are a pot of sea water brought to a boil, getting saltier and saltier

          West didn't do anything special. Westerners are mostly gullible and ignorant people . Westerners cheered on when US bombed Iraq as if it was some heroic action against a great evil, obviously they were outraged when Osama dared to bomb US which US did it for years and years. Westerners don't do introspection or critical thinking. That's why US propaganda is so effective. US just had to say Putin invaded to restore USSR and all western libs cried like anything for ukraine. Nazism is a part of western culture. All the movies be it enemy of the gates, video games, dehumanizes Soviet Union and equated it to 3rd Reich. They know the liberal psychology very well.

      Libs went from “punch a fascist! all cops are bastards! free the kids in cages!” to “slava ukraini, slava bandera. Defunding cops is a Republican idea. They are detention centers and are necessary.”

      Fucking sheepdogs
